Live At The Graden

Beautiful venue, terrible music. Guaranteed.

If she thinks I'm setting up the chairs for this weekend's show by the Pennsylvania Kazoo Quartet by myself....well, she's wrong.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

Miss Delores just breezed in this morning and said something about "swimming with the goddamn koi." Haven't seen her since.

Having troubles with the air conditioner today. It's a little muggy in the reception area.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

Note: the gentlemen in the truck stop bathroom are so nice. Very complimentary!

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

And possibly to buy some ironic chrome mudflap girls. Fun!

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

Drank a whole liter of Pellegrino on the way over. Stopping at one of the truck stops to use bathroom.

Driving to Arkansas to stock up on fireworks for our Fourth of July extravaganza tomorrow. Fairly sure fireworks laws don't apply to us.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

In the big treehouse with the band, trying to get a bootleg stream of the fight. The one who looks like Uncle Fester is stuck in the slide.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

So if you're in to that kind of thing, don't miss it! And if you're not, for God's sake don't go over there.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

Additionally: the sprinklers in the Big Backyard will spray cow's blood from 1:00 pm. - 5:00 p.m. tomorrow.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

We put up signs but you should still probably stay clear of the area. They're kind of grouchy.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

So the band members, roadies, hangers-on and one extremely pale girl who calls herself Deathblossom are camped out in the Big Backyard.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

They made their travel plans just a touch late, though. I asked Miss Delores if they could stay in her pool house. It did not go over well.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

Here, check 'em out. Enjoy! https://t.co/lfg2n4o5mx

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

But their lead singer sounds like this.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

Tonight and tomorrow we have Amidst The Withering. They look like this.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

Is there great music in Memphis this weekend? You bet there is!

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

So I gave him a fist-bump. He seemed disappointed. Celebrities!

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

After the show Dino asked me if I could get him a bump. A assumed he meant fist-bump, which I know the kids do these days.

[Live At The Graden @LiveattheGraden]

We want to thank the Memphis branch of the Dino International Fan Organization (DIFO) for coming out last night. Keep the faith, girls.
