if you're in the throes of cosmic despair i cannot recommend museums enough. art or science or history it doesn't matter. oh we're all connected, all of us and everything, throughout all time and space, and no one, no one, no one is alone? awesome. that's what i thought i just wanted to make sure.

feeling completely in shock after the news of brian's passing. i am not someone usually shaken by celebrity deaths, but i think its no exaggeration to say that brian wilson's music has left a indelible mark in my life. few musicians were able to touch my soul like him. i hope whatever is next for him is more peaceful than his past.

this has been a horrible day what do you mean brian wilson is gone. i feel i cant even say it

"backstage at a live event" is perhaps my favourite human collective emotion ive ever experienced. From running through the creepy empty school hallways before a theatre show, to the staff only breakroom at a convention or event where youre running a stall, to the bridal suite getting ready before your bestie walks down the isle.

Theres a little wall between the guys who are 'in on it' with you, whatever it is, and your audience or customers or guests or just all those people who are *not* in on it. Youve got a wallkie talkie, or a backstage pass, or an exhibitor badge, and youve never felt more alive
