Drug Church Live in Dublin!!!

In 2001 I saw one of my favorite shows ever at Whelans, possibly because I had just flown in to Dublin that morning and was running on adrenaline and lust for the Irish girl I'd flown across the world to visit. Not everything worked out great, but I got to see Damien Frost, New Prayer Breakfast, and another band I'm blanking on at the moment at one of the coolest venues I've been to. To find this Drug Church show posted from there was a blast, and it really just made me remember, A) how much I want to go back to Ireland and, B) how much I want to see Drug Church live.

Watch:

Last night, K and I got to see John Carpenter's The Thing on the big screen for the second time. This is a film that never fails to fill me with inspiration, to blow me away, to remind me just how amazing cinema can be. Also, how the greatest works of art are often not appreciated at first. The Thing bombed upon release; reflecting on that now, it seems unbelievable, but it's a fact. Kinda gives me a little hope. 

Anyway, whenever I watch The Thing, I follow it up with Simon Gesrel's video for Zombie Zombie's Driving This Road Until Death Sets You Free. It's almost as impressive as Carpenter's film (in a totally different way).

Card:

From Jonathan Grimm's Hand of Doom Tarot, which you can buy HERE. Grimm's newest deck looks maybe even more awesome than The Hand of Doom (hard to believe, but I said it). Head over to his Kickstarter page for the upcoming The Eldritch Lace Tarot Deck and hit "Notify me upon launch." This looks amazing!

Lots of Will being distracted by a perfect earthly set up. Seems like money getting in the way, like it always does.

Interesting. I found out yesterday the yahoos in the payroll department of the corporation that I work for neglected to set up the health care benefits I signed up for in 2025. Correction - they started taking the money out in January, then stopped in February. Now I owe over 1500. This fact has destabilized me with anger, and I'm fairly cetain that's what this pull is referencing.
