I saw sum rly cool bands ovr th weeknd!
I went 2 a show on fri th 25th, and sat th 26th, both @ Ashbary Coffee House.
Th first wuz, Spleen, Too Tall To Ride, and The Simsons. Th show wuz EPIC but I ddnt get any pics.
Spleen and Too Tall To Ride both contain memberz of muh old band, The Heathenz, so it wuz so nice seein them again. :D
I had seen Simsons b4, but I hd nvr th othr 2 bands. Honestly??? I lovd the whole set, it wuz so gud! I got dancin an had a gr8 tiem! ^-^
Here r som links to the mentioned bands, Too Tall To Ride, Spleen, and The Simsons.
Th 2nd show I went 2 wuz Con?usion, Rigid, Sattva Dog, and Gelatinous Cube and the Ambiguous Wrecks!
Thiz show alzo RIPPED!! XD
I hav a picy of Sattva dog here, dressed as Jesus and a Monk. Wich I thought wuz funny 4 the halloween vibez of the nite.
Con?usion ruled, az usual, but they ddnt play Salamanders, which Im still upsett abt lol.
Gelatinous Cube and the Ambiguous Wrecks (which Ill b shortenin 2 GCxAW) had their drummer dressed up az Princess Leia in th slave outfit, which he informd meh he did bcuz I told him 2 last halloween LMFAO!!
Id seen Con?usion and GCxAW b4, but nvr Sattva Dog and Rigid, the former Id been lookin forward 2 seein an the latter I had nvr seen b4, but MAN... they fkn BLEW ME AWAY!
Rigid iz made up of some fomer members of Liminal Space, Deary, an some other experimental musicians frum th Chi burbs scene.
They had such a unique sound tht wuz kinda Kraftwerk inspird with a lot mor post punk an psyche influence. It felt v much like a fresh, new take on th space rock movement.
Plus, they perfromd wit a CRT which iz an ez way 2 my heart. <3
Here r links 2 all the bands! Sattva Dog, GCxAW, Con?usion, and Rigid.
Finlly, on sundy I went 2 Microcenter 2 get a computr case, and I bumpd into Shaq.

Second blog post!
The last like... 4 days hav been WILD!!
Scar and I went to California for 2 days, but took a full day to fly there with a 6hr 45 min layovr in Las Vegas.
We flew frum Ohare, which had not 1, but 2 airport Chili's...
We saw the Vegas Sphere and h8ed it, lol.
I ddn't end up takin pics of anythin in Vegas bc that whole city makes me kinda dpressd.
The ammount of advertizments n ppl gambling away money they dnt hav is rlly hard 2 stomach.
We touched down at Hollywood Burbank airport, which is rly rly small but kinda neat.
Then we took an Uber 2 LA, which was wher we wer stayin.
Scar got 2 see th Hollywood sign! She'd nevr been 2 the west coast b4 so it was rad!
We wanderd aroun Hollywood Blvd 4 a while, w8ing 4 our motel 2 hav an available room.
We ate sum yummy ice cream frum a Ben and Jerry's scoop shop, which I ddn't kno evn existd!
When our motel wuz ready, we slep 4 like 6 hrs, which wuz the only sleep we had in like 26 hrs at that point. (˶ᴗ_ᴗ˵) ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁
Thn we got rdy 4 the whol rzn we took ths trip.
We went 2 the Hollywood Bowl 2 see Porter Robinson! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-
Porter is Scar's favorite artist, an we had tix 2 see his Chicago show.
Howevr, du 2 wind, the Chicago show got canceled.
We usd th refund money 2 get Hollywood Tix, and it wuz awesom!!
In th bck of my mind, tho, all I culd think abt wuz Tom and Jerry lololol.
Porter played a lot of Smile :D, which iz my fav record by him, and Worlds, which iz Scar's fav record by him.
Th set wuz rly nice, and the opener wuz Eric DOA.
Honstly?!?!?! I am supr supr inspird by his set...
Especlly th vizualz he usd!
Porter's set wuz also supr inspiring, but mor in terms of presence.
Basiclly reminded meh I can jus fuck aroun on stage.
Aftr th show, we went 2 the motel 2 sleep.
Th nxt day, we had sum tiem b4 our flight, so we checkd out Knott's Berry Farm! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Th park wuz rly rly neat, albeit a lil small.
We rode ghost riders, which is a rly rly neato burrito woody coaster.
I rly liked the aura an theming of th ride, as well as the whole ghosttown area.
Scar rode on Xcelerator, which I wantd 2 go on but my stomach felt supr not gud so I stayd behind. (𖦹﹏𖦹;)
Lastly, we rode Jaguar! which wuz p cool, I rly likd the themeing, and there wuz a faux fire element which wuz neato, but the ride wuz just okay. (Even 4 a family coaster) Also, it had no bag cubby, so we had 2 take our bags on the ride, which left us wit no legroom.
All in all, we had a great time at Knotts!
We thn lft, went 2 Del Taco, an flew home (this tiem wif only a 2 hr layovr in Vegas, lol)
I'm writin this after a long az hell like 12 hr nap aftr gettin home!
N yea, that wuz my long weekend!!
Wishin u all well! <3

This is uhhh my first blog post here!
I wanna use ths pg 2 share semi-recent events, thoughts, & jus kinna share my lif wit y'all!
Rathr thn jus explain wut a blog is in yr of our lords 2024, Imma jus share sum kewl I did recently!
I went 2 th Tally Hall place! :D
It wuz pretty fkn rad! X3
Me & my wife, edm producer Scarlett Autumn aka utopicangel, drove liek 4 hrs to Michigan jus 2 go!
I had a gr8 tiem, but I du hav sum complaints...
Ther wer multiple Israeli flags in the arcade tht I didn't notice till aftr I alrdy spent money at the quarter machine and concession stand.
This felt incredibly yucky, especially bc Marvin's is a place tht 1 wuld think iz all abt preservation an archival, for them 2 support the genocidal regime of Netanyahu is frankly sickening. Couple tht with th fact I culdnt find anythin abt this on the interweb, I felt especially gross being there.
Howevr, the money wuz alrdy spent, not liek I can un-pay the coin machine. So we set off 2 mak th best of it all.
We playd hella rhythm games, mostly DDR n Guitr Hero, but th highlight 4 meh wuz smthn I nvr tht I'd see irl.
>TAIKO NO TATSUJIN!!!!<
(๑*ᗜ*)
I wuz so excitd! Scar & I playd sum co-op & had a blast!
Theez r hella uncommon in th States, & if memry serves this wuz a Japanese import originlly headed 4 Brazil.
Taiko Drum Master 4 th PS2 is a huge point ov nostalgia 4 meh, so this wuz liek makin muh childhood self squeak wif joy.
Marvin's also haz many coin op animatronicz, which iz SUPER RAD!
Az far az I can tell, this iz unique 2 Marvin's, but u can correct meh if I'm wrong using muh contact page.
Lotz of these r super cool n rly historical (4 bettr & 4 worse)
Muh fav wuz The Brain!
Nywayz, I'l wrap stuf up now. Marvin's was rad, 7/10 on the fun scale, but since they r Zionist ownd, I hav can't in good concious recommend ny1 go ther.
Ttyl!
