it’s been awhile since I’ve played a daytime gig, and this will be the first time I’m playing at an indie/art festival thingy :p
So do come and support the local scene, and me if you’re a fan of my stuff. haha

I’ve got more gigs lined up in December and even one in NBT in January, so stay tuned for more info!

Why people don’t hold the poles in trains.

by

So this post was supposed to be accompanied by a drawing of an old lady with sagging tits sandwiching the metal pole, but I couldn’t come up with anything as tasteful as circus granny (lol)

Anyway, I just had a thought about why some people don’t hold onto the pole on the trains- maybe they’re afraid of the things the pole has come into contact with before. Then I started thinking about what could touch those poles, and instantly the idea of a grandma came to my head. I swear, I don’t know why. Haha

How about the butt cheeks of some over sized person or just someone with dirty hands?

Cleanest part of the LRT to hold on to? Probably the ceiling of the train. Though not everybody is tall enough to reach it comfortably.

Okay this post was a pointless introduction to the promotion of my next performance:
