TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT! Open Mike Eagle and Baron Vaughn are bringing the live stage version of The New Negroes (which I’ve written about quite a bit on this site) right here to the Freemont Abbey in Seattle. It’s gonna be a night full of standup comedy and music.
Aaagh, It’s been over two years since I’ve seen Mike! I miss him, but I can’t make it to this show due to just the sheer power of logistics and distance.
But that just means that YOU should go, especially my friends who live nearby!
That’s “live” as in “happening right now” not “live” as in “They Live.” But you probably got that…

Remember on Wednesday when I mentioned that Warren Dunes was having a show tonight (Friday), but I wasn’t going to go to it because I was going to a different musics show? No? Oh, well, this is the show that I’m a-gonna go to instead:

Oddly enough, I will not be seeing you at this show. I’m going to be going to a different show in a different part of Seattle that very night! More on that tomorrow…
Hey, gang, the supergroup Warren Dunes (Julia Massey plus Electric NoNo) is performing in Seattle tomorrow (Saturday)! Let’s all make the trek out to Columbia City and see them at the Royal Room, a venue to which I’ve never been before!
There are also some other performers.

Chris is sorry he’s late, but he didn’t want to come.
I recorded this back towards the end of August at the excellent SandCave Session VII in Seattle. Voila:
If you’d like to hear more Chris Blount, you can pick up his album I Win at Bandcamp. He also guested on the most recent Julia Massey and The Five Finger Discount album.
If you’d like to see more Chris Blount, he’ll be performing with the Gentlemen of Leisure… it looks like their next show is November 24th (the day after Thanksgiving) at the Skylark Café in West Seattle. I’ll likely post more about that show as it grows nearer.
Last night I went to see my pal Open Mike Eagle at Barboza in Seattle. I don’t know that I’d ever been to Barboza before. It’s a little bar underneath Neumos. Anyhoo, it was a great show. Mike killed it as always. Here’s the obligatory animated .GIF that I made of the performance:
Animated Eagle 2017.
The place was plenty packed. My pal Travis was even there! And after the show there was a line of like 50 people waiting to get to Mike’s merch table. I had to go on account of a long drive back down to Tacoma on a school night, but Mike was nice enough to give me big ol’ hugs and chat for a minute, and take a selfie:
These guys.
I missed him on his last tour (when he became the mayor of Ferndale), so it was good to see him again! He’s a <wypipo voice>real class act and just a swell fellow.</wypipo voice>
But enough about Mike. Something amazing happened to me that got me super hyped. I got to meet none other than the one and only…
VIDEO DAVE!
Check it:
That ain’t Photoshopped. That’s really Video Dave!!!
Look how excited I am in that photo to be meeting such a celebrity! You might even say I’m “giddy.” It was so cool to meet him after admiring his work. Scroll back up and look at the animated .GIF of Mike, and look at the projections splashed across him and the background. That’s all Video Dave! Didn’t he do an amazing job!? I think Mike & Prolific & Sammus were way too hard on him before last night:
Oh, hey, yeah, sorry I haven’t been doing much bliggity-blog-blogging lately. I have a three-year-old. Keeps me kinda busy. Also I own a Nintendo Switch. Y’know. So I kinda missed a few things in the last couple of weeks, like how there were two Fools Play Improvs last weekend.
But I did wanna jump on here real quick to say that my wife and I will be heading up to Seattle tonight to see Julia, Jared, Dom, and Matt as Warren Dunes plays Conor Byrne Pub! You shouldst join us all up in there!
Oh, also, I guess this is going to be Matt’s last show as the bass player (for quite a while at the very least), because he suddenly got a job on a cruise that’s gonna last at least six months! Surprise!
