week ###272727
hi, email was delayed due to illness that i had contracted earlier in the week but! i'm back and better than ever. happy leap day to all!!!
last week we happily played a RIPPER of a show at trans pecos, helping tetchy kick off their sxsw tour. (yes sxsw rejected us, but whatcha gonna do? gonna get them next year. not that they pay artists anything, check out UMAW's (united musician and allied workers) fight for fair pay at sxsw here.) we made so many friends we may even play a few shows in connecticut! i have never been... so would be so excited for my first introduction to be a rock show (as it was with, boston, for example, last may).

last week what did i do?
on friday sam and i saw lair of the white worm, an amazing bad horror movie about pagan worship in rural england directed by ken russell starring hugh grant. on saturday autumn and i saw french-caribbean bassist and singer adi oasis rip up le poisson rouge, a tradition of ours dating back to 2019.... on sunday as i lay sick i watched 20th century women which was meh in the middle but made me cry a lot at the end starring young greta gerwig and elle fanning, and most importantly this week, on tuesday starbucks workers united won an agreement with starbucks for a collective bargaining agreement!!! if you know me (pag) you know for my day job i am a labor union strategist that has been working on the starbucks campaign for over two years so.... :D i made the black pepper tofu recipe that i had once at cg's place in burlington vermont to celebrate and that dinner WAS INCREDIBLE.
i'm getting healthy and will be ready to rip again on friday. until then,
