Absolutely. There's a lot about our child support system that's pretty fucked up. Family court in the US needs a massive overhaul. I've got horror stories from people on all sides. It's obviously no reason not to support your kids. I just understand why some people try to go around the system in any way they can.

And once you've finished:

It's not like the old days, but you can still find high energy local acts out at places like BFE. Just keep an eye on their roster. I'll likely see you there someday!

I get it. We played Fitzgerald's a lot for the last few years before it closed. My buddy was sitting in the lighting booth watching the last show.

I don't think there's anything that's going to capture that vibe anymore. BFE is cool. Numbers, for whatever reason, was never really my scene. I've played there but I don't go out of my way to do it. Even The Farm isn't really what it used to be. I wish I could remember what the name of it was before because we played there a lot too. Wildcatters out in Katy is pretty cool on the right night. Brash has the arcade. Karbach usually has something cool going on (I've got a friend over there right now). But none of that is like what Fitzgerald's was back in the 00s (I was too young and hours away in the 90s, then I left for the military).

But you know what they say. You can never go home.

There are some cool places closer in but I try to avoid heading that way. We played White Oak Music Hall recently and it's pretty neat. Fitzgerald's closed a few years back and that place was amazing. On the other side of town is House of Blues which is always a good time.

I like The Farm and BFE, but those are two completely different vibes. I miss Acadia so much. That was my favorite place to be but they closed down last year.

I'm actually very happy with both, I just like to talk shit.

So a hair under 20 years ago I was offered a position similar to this after leaving the Navy. I'm so glad I went into private industry in another field entirely.

Just to answer the question, tonight I was with a hard rock band. We did our thing then got hammered again.

You're goddamn right.

My therapist just asks if I drank less than last week. Then we have a staring contest for 26 minutes.

I got a coach at the gym and we do the same thing.

Now I need to figure out which one to fire because that's almost an hour of me not admitting shit. I only really need it from one of them.

I'm for anyone that will pull left and less authoritarian than the way things currently stand. We can fight it out once things start getting better.
