I was at a ton of these; you booked some rad shows. And I found myself in one of your photos from this HWM show, which was a landmark night for me. Came here looking for flyers for Baldwin Hall - I lived behind it - but I'm staying for the feels.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605167525447690227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351746708752892673.post-84888006120254523582010-04-01T11:44:29.329-04:002010-04-01T11:44:29.329-04:00The area around the Chop Shop/Supreme Imperial def...The area around the Chop Shop/Supreme Imperial definitely had some of the biggest rats I've ever seen. Definitely saw some running around upstairs during shows from time to time. Not often.<br /><br />Also, Jim's been teaching for as long as I've been booking shows!Mike Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395044590828021064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351746708752892673.post-45251682463032237502010-03-31T15:04:27.281-04:002010-03-31T15:04:27.281-04:002 fairly vivid memories from that show.

HWM kept replying in a way that made it seem like they knew what he was talking about. Then halfway through the set, they asked "What do you mean by 'the breakdance song?'" And it he meant 220 years but he was substituting "I wanna see you breakdance" blah blah. Funny to me, funny at the time. <br /><br />2nd. <br />Sitting outside on the curb, grading papers (it was my first year teaching) when I saw a DOG SIZED RAT run across the street from just behind me. I jumped.Kyle from Grade was about to tap me on a shoulder to tell me that the rat was smelling the inside of the bag I had sitting on the ground.jvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223599994031374334noreply@blogger.com
