  fun performance
     age peers
        tips
       drinks
     accolades

   that was then

    this is now

       foggy
       groggy
digestive ambiguity
grasping at selfhood
    random urls
      may this
        soon
         be
        over

"We now return to the part of The Internet Story(TM) where Inquiry re-re-realizes that yes, live music and human interaction is, indeed, more pleasurable and fulfilling than URL linking and opinionated correspondences"

Hope you're good, Inquiry! :)

I was never in to the local band scene, despite living in a city that was full of them. It seemed like you just go to a pub on a Friday night, listen to what was going on, and bristle up against the true fans who have been religiously following the band for several years. The band would have a facebook page or a random url scribbled above a urinal.

Basically, I found the whole thing fun as an outsider, stumbling from pub to pub, but really damn hard to get into as a regular follower because of how much it relied on the internet for promotion. That being said, I've never seen a band live due to word of mouth, so I guess internet is the best option for this kind of thing.
