My 4sq checkin at the bar I'm at was "I've found the appropriate level of sloppiness," and honestly, this should be defined as my basic mantra/life goal.

We (@chanthana) had a 2010 twitter reunion tonight in Chicago. It was so lovely. Despite no #redwine being consumed. (Many of you old school twitter runner types were discussed.)

[experiri @experiri]

Happy post-NYCM memories.

[greengooning @greengooning]

What a finish to the NYC Marathon! Such great running!

Extra special for me watching the last few miles as someone who has run the NYCM 5 times (and seeing what they were doing on that stretch I know well). (Stadium View the oddest place I’ve watched the NYCM.)

And we’re ready at the Brooklyn Monarch for @LosCampesinos!!!!

[experiri @experiri]

I’ve seen @LosCampesinos in NYC on every tour, going back to their first NYC appearance at the Mercury Lounge in August 2007, so I’m obviously not going to miss tonight. SO EXCITED!

[experiri @experiri]

Special kudos to @loscampesinos for making their shows all ages. It's the 15, 16, 17, 18 year olds going to shows now that are the future of music, and the future strongest supporters of musicians and live music. Truly unfortunate that they're usually excluded from club shows.

Who’s there!?

I hope that Bow Wow Wow are frantically working on their followup hit, Leo Quatorze.

Sabrina x Dolly is amazing, but I really need Dolly to say “motherfucker”.

@te_pickering Yeah, those tasty polyphenols will not be happy with UV light, even assuming the light can penetrate sufficiently to have antimicrobial effects.

In year 5 of winemaking, I’m getting more bold/confident in making wines from red grapes. But like drinking Italian red wines, this seems like there will be “a process”. #redwine @chanthana @pigtailsflying

[greengooning @greengooning]

I’m hoping that “pitch drunk, rack sober” is the winemaking equivalent of Hemingway’s “write drunk, edit sober”. It was an “adventurous” evening starting the first of this year’s wines (i.e. prep and pitching the yeast).

[experiri @experiri]

@te_pickering @chanthana @pigtailsflying You’re trying to encourage me to revive my beermaking skills, aren’t you?

Opening day of the Arsenal season 10 years ago, after watching the match at @OHanlonsBarNYC. How many people in this photo were at O’Hanlon’s today?

A major international event (the Olympics!) is coming to your city.

Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:

Paris: time for major construction at a major railroad station! (Gate d’Austerlitz)

[Marisa LaScala @mar_to_go]

I always try to see Los Campesinos when they come to New York, and it's always the best at @WarsawConcerts. Not just because of the pierogies, but that doesn't hurt!

[zeke 𐂂 🇵🇸 @RAWD0GGY]

this is what a sibling rivalry is all about @LosCampesinos :3

[stella jo (updates only) @stelllajo]

i love you @LosCampesinos band of the universe

[experiri @experiri]

When you go to a @LosCampesinos show, you know that they’re going to bring it every time. And you know the crowd will, too. “Yeah this is so fucking fun! Fucking thank you we just love doing this!” Same, LC!, same.
