my friends call me 5 @sj5@witches.live

so I gotta say,

even tho he's someone I've known for a long time

(& even tho we haven't spoken since I um cut him out of my life back in 2015)

having a city councilperson call my wife to ask her to tell me to stop talking about him on the internet

is a new experience for me!!!

#Seattle #CityCouncil

k that was SUPER fun

magical shenanigans & oddball 'coincidences' & sweet dancing grooves & charisma & weirdness start to finish

geese, for some reason, were a theme

afterwards our usual late night burrito stop was closed (!?!?)
so we ventured into Seattle's U-District
(one of the few remaining Gibsonian/Cyberpunkian pockets of this existentially ailing city)

... & found a place called PIZZA TWIST.

they also sell tacos, noodles, rice.

all with toppings like chicken tikka, marsala, tandoori.

plant-based versions available so we got the medium spicy plant-based chicken tikka pizza.

delicious!!!
(good cold too! for morning after)

Sunset Tavern has one of the best green rooms in the city, I am fairly certain—certainly among smaller venues.

but the coffee maker?

that hellish device produces only pure nightmare fuel.

#Seattle

opened for a band called RAT PAWS last night.

they rock.

between them, FAUNIX, and NEGATIVE PASSENGERS
(not to mention so many others)
I've heard/met more genuinely awesome local bands this year than in maybe any other that I can recall.

opened up the bill at a 4-band rock&roll party yesterday.

this group played 4th of 4 —

whole crowd (100 or so?) sang along w/ the chorus:

"DON'T
TELL ME TO SMILE!
I don't owe you anything at all!"

...
perhaps it is correct to add that the band is called PEG,

our fearless leader is Sheridan Riley (aka "the drummer for Alvvays")

& we will be playing a FREE SHOW in Fremont, Seattle, at the place called Add-A-Ball on Sunday night at 7pm !!! 💕

I have just received last-minutely word

that my band with @CuratorOfCosmicDust — TRASH PANDA GO KART — will be playing in #Seattle tomorrow night at the Substation,

opening for the great GREEN MILK FROM THE PLANET ORANGE, here all the way from Japan!

they're always fun & it's an honor to share a stage

pretty sure we start at 9pm
(haven't personally seen the deets yet it's chaos over here!)
🤘 😂 💕

for those keeping track at home...

my partner @CuratorOfCosmicDust (Zinnia Su) is quoted in this article expressing her lack of confidence in Fran Drescher as head SAG-AFTRA.

https://www.thenation.com/article/society/fran-drescher-sag-aftra/

Drescher was put in her leadership position by a faction of highly-paid lawyers which spends its time—in its role as union staff—taking power away from the members of this member-run union.

So Drescher's poor response to the #WGAstrike should come as no surprise! (alas!)

(Z was on the Seattle SAG board for a couple years & ohhhh what a shitshow) #SagAftra #Seattle #PNW #ActorsOfMastodon

Anyone in the greater Seattle area who likes spaced-out rock music,

I'll be playing at the new TIM'S TAVERN in White Center tonight, on bass with Jack Endino's epic improv trio BEYOND CAPTAIN ORCA!

Check us out here if you need a preview & maybe we'll see you 💕
