You know, earlier this year I was thinking about Rock Lotto (OK, it was
while I was watching Fluff Chick). Are there any other bands besides
Fluff Chick who trace their lineage back to Rock Lotto?
Not that it would be a slight on Rock Lotto if there weren't; it truly
*was* the best party/spectacle/rockshow Of All Time. Every time.

Yeah, it was a drag: here's a year's worth of good local music distilled
down to a week's worth of shows, including all the compromises &
annoyances and scheduling impossibilities that characterize the damn
thing the *rest* of the year. Still, there wasn't much else scheduled up
against that last night at 305 South, and it really was one of those
Hallmark Moments.

Oh, we're arguing over whether the "scene" (wait, was I supposed to
capitalize that? I can't ever remember) can/should be defined again?
He's welcome to that one, then. Dictionary, though? More like Wikipedia.
See you & Todd at the Minutemen thing at 506?
