ya know tinobeat, i feel like the only reason you included a letdown section was to counter my enthusiasm for the slint tour.

its possible, its possible...

to be fair, so it doesn't seem like I'm picking on you, alex (you know I'm nothin but luv), the Slint reunion show was easily the biggest letdown of a concert I went to this year. However, I wouldn't have mentioned it if it hadn't been in your post, so I am just a *little* bit mean.

haha, dude it's cool, i was just joking. we talked about this, remember?

i forgot to add -- drinking with earl grey!!

that sounds far more interesting than any slint concert.

(though i did enjoy them live)
