Chain Reaction

It's an all ages venue in Anaheim, CA. 

And it's closing. 

I saw about 10 shows there, most of them in the early 2000s when I was neck deep in wanting to be a regularly gigging musician. 

And then I became a regularly gigging musician and it was fun and it was the best and I was so young and didn't know what I had but isn't that the way things go sometimes?

You don't know what you have until it's gone. 

Chain Reaction will be gone in 8 days. 

Present me is bummed, but will survive. 

22 years ago me is gutted, but already survived and is now present me, which is a good thing. 

Here's to great memories and knowing that a building is not what actually contains them. 

Writing

I enjoy it. 

Sometimes, I feel like I accomplish something through it. 

But I've always been more of a documenter than a conscious creator/writer. 

Maybe that's because I don't have strong opinions on most things. 

And maybe that would change if I started writing about the opposite of most things. 

Not having a strong opinion and standing up for it is such a waste. 

You're too aware of being aware of wanting attention and accolades. 

You're also not great at multitasking. 

...

Get your shit together.
