As of this post, I've pulled 13 "push" doors and pushed 8 "pull" doors.

The shows Saturday night were excellent! Oliver Future headlined The Mercury in Austin, Texas and played a set with 80% new material. As is always the case, they were a little shakey on new legs, but the crowd screamed approval the entire set. Endochine was purely amazing! This was the first show I'd had a chance to "listen" and "hear" them...I certainly now a fan.

Three discoveries from 2:45 am till 1 pm the next day:
1) White shirts attract Red wine
2) Swedish gum tastes awful
3) No matter what time you get in from the night before, "12:00 Noon check out means 12:00 Noon check out, sir"
