BETHLEHEM THIS SATURDAY / AUSTIN LAST SATURDAY
the reading in austin was fucking great. end of an ear is a cool shop. i read something from the record with DRAGON TURTLE, then jon vance read from Tulip Has A Room. and tonie played some drones during both our readings. met a bunch of cool people. (like colin seven who took that photo of me). and some kids drove 24 hours straight from california to make the reading ahead of the show. then MOSS ICON played like an american Joy Division. for the first time in years and years. and then those kids from cali got crushed by a kid from the upper balcony.
see the kid jump:
