"Well, we cross the river once. And we'll do it once again."
The sun came back today. Our high was 68˚F, and it's still 67˚F.
I finished reading Destination Casablanca: Exile, Espionage, and the Battle for North Africa in World War II by Meredith Hindley and began The Last Tasmanian Tiger: The History and Extinction of the Thylacine by Robert Paddle.
I watched the first half of a two-part, four-hour documentary about William Randolph Hearst.
Happy fucking Halloween.
Please have a look at the current eBay auctions. Thanks.

Tonight marks the 25th anniversary of the first Death's Little Sister show. I wish there were any photos from that show, but to my knowledge, there are are not. I have this bit from the old DLS page at my website (a page I think was done in late 90s):
In October, DLS recorded a three-song cassette, Three Regrets and a Curse, and on Halloween night, they played their first live show at an Athens art gallery, Galaxy 500."That first show was utterly bizarre," Caitlín recalls. "The place didn't have a stage. They didn't even have a sound tech. They literally built the stage between our sound check and the time the opening band went on. I think we were the only goth band Athens had ever seen, at least since the eighties, and there were a lot of confused faces in the crowd. We had these two huge jack-o'-lanterns burning on stage and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari playing on a big screen behind us. People actually seemed scared of us. But at least nobody booed."
I was 32 years old.
And here's a previously uncirculated photograph of me at band rehearsal, making a silly face.
1996, Athens, Georgia
