HOLY CRAP I AM TIRED.

And this is why:

• [American Aquarium @ the Lincoln] 03.13.09. Raleigh, NC. Supported by Cary Ann Hearst and Bain Mattox. Still my favorites of favorites, still the band I love the best. A fantastic fantastic show, and now that they're on the road so much, it's always a particular joy when they come home and play here.
  
  
• [Holy Ghost Tent Revival @ JJ's Bohemia] 03.14.09. Chattanooga, Tennessee. ... look, sometimes you just have to drive to Tennessee to see a band.
  
  
• [the CH to the 'Noog] 20 hours in a car in the rain over the mountains -- but Chattanooga is actually a really adorable little city, and holy fuck are the mountains in Western NC and Eastern TN beautiful. Plus, Civil War battlefields! And angry anti-liberal bumper stickers! And road trips!

And so I am fucking exhausted, because we hardly slept this weekend and there was a lot of white-knuckle driving (all done by quicknow, who is one of my favorite people in the world ever and also the only person I would trust to drive me through the mountains in shitty weather) and two late shows over two days and SO TIRED.

SO SO SO TIRED.

*falls over*

OH HEY ALSO: raise your hand if you're interested in an NCAA basketball tournament pool this year; winner will get a print of one of my photos of their choosing, I think. I might actually get that done, unlike the last two years of prizes. I still owe herrgooch a music spam, I haven't forgotten. But I'm not going to run a pool unless I've got a bunch of people interested.
