THE MOPERY IS DEAD......

Saturday...

When I first moved here years ago, my now ex-girlfriend was buying a phone at the US Cellular on the corner. I went out to smoke, and a man approached with beer. "Oh, you bought me beer!" I said sarcastically. "No, but what are you doing later tonight? I'm having a show". He invited me up to his house where they "all live in tents". His house meaning, a giant warehouse with art and madness everywhere.

From then on, never have I seen so many great bands, sense of community, selflessness, and just a general feeling of people not giving a shit what clothes you have on, who you're with, or any of that bullshit. You could walk in alone and leave with 3 new friends. This was a place where they let me put my beer in the fridge, and NOBODY TOOK IT. EVER. Well, you know how good this was...
