i went to see the avett brothers the other night. the show was sold out so it was packed. there were a lot more dude bros there than expected. it was kind of sick. i hate it when bands that i like get big. granted i've only been listening to the gorgeous brothers for like ten months, but still. it's annoying. as i was sitting on the stairs watching the show i overheard a ridiculous convo between one of said dude bros and some girl who looked like she could be in a sorority. it went something like this:

dude bro: hi i'm [whatever his name is].
girl: i'm erin.
db: is that erin with an e or an a?
g: an e.
db: oh right, cause with an a would make you a dude and that would suck.
g: yeah. well, maybe it would be cool for like a week.
db: but then you'd be all hairy like a guy.
g: but i'd have a penis!

it was painful to listen to. i'm glad it didn't go on any longer than it did. the feisty tranny in me would've been forced to speak up and talk to them about what it's like to live in a different gender. for twenty years. that's a lie. i wouldn't have said anything. but i would've thought about it a lot. it amazes me the shit that straight guys come up with when trying to hit on girls. i'm surprised any of them get laid ever.

so back to the avett brothers. they were so damn good. it was definitely one of the best shows i've ever been to, which i think is saying a lot. i was tempted to drive up to philly the next day to see them again, but i really don't have the money for that kind of thing. they didn't play the two songs off of their most recent album that i think everyone was expecting them too, one of which is the title track. i would've loved to have heard them, but i appreciate that they didn't play just what people were expecting. i'm pretty sure this is my current favorite song from the new record:



i should really thank bf1/gf1 for introducing me to them. consider this me doing that now.

a bunch of my friends and i screen printed for three hours last night. it was pretty wonderful. we didn't fuck up the screen at all, which is always an accomplishment with us and produced somewhere around 75 patches and printed 10 or so tote bags that someone had made.



pardon the shitty picture. it says gender justice on it. anyway, we drank beer and got messy and it was wonderful. i'm totally ready to move, but i am going to miss baltimore. i'm trying to hang out with everyone as much as possible while still having me time and time to pack and whatnot. tucson will be a good chance for me to hang out with a lot of my friends but then there are those who aren't going. as it is right now, i get back from tucson next monday morning and move approximately 48 hours later. a lot of that time is going to be spent packing i think. who knows. i'll make it all work somehow.

there are probably more things that i could say right now, but they're not coming to me at the moment and i'm already late for my hot friend-date with remy. more later. probably re: moving with my cat since those are pretty much the biggest things in my life right now. who am i kidding? marx is ALWAYS the biggest thing in my life. the biggest and fluffiest.

ALSO! i just bid on this on ebay:



it's a wham! bandana. i better win it. i probably will. seriously, who else would bid on that?

okay NOW i'm done. tranny out.
