Last night I went with folk musician extrodinaire/ my wonderful roommate Samantha Crain to see her perform at the Sober Grounds Coffee House in Oklahoma City on 31st and May. It was an open mic kind of thing so she played three songs. She started out with Devils In Boston (of course). Then she played Hold Each Other Up, which I loved…a lot. The she ended with 400 Blows. Good show. I love her.

Then burning theory, which i don't remeber…

Last night was john vanderslice in norman at the opolis. it was a great great show. emperor x was the first opening band and this guy was amazing. like seriously blew my mind. he was pretty crazy, or in the words of the guitarist for minus story
