p.s. i was thinking oh HA! i will get tix for steely dan for mary jeys and james and if i have to i will come with them, but for smurf’s sake they are a billion dollars, alright, $85-$135! but for reals
i would just be buying them, and potentially going for smurfs+giggles, and yacht rock.
so no dice steely dan, no dice.
(sorry mary and james)
let me know if anyone is coming out to montclair to see these bands, or just walking over from your lovely home in montclair, and musicsnobbery, whats your deal? i just found your blog today. i am surprised i havent come across it before.
p.s.s i also learned in my research today that montclair is known in some circles as “park slope west” and it is cracking me up!
