King Tuff! King Tuff!

King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff! King Tuff!*
*Jaill was surprisingly good, too.  I can't believe that in the space of one week I saw Dominant Legs, the Fresh & Onlys, King Tuff and Sonny and the Sunsets (and also Magic Trick who are super good but are not named Magic Mike like  I thought)  It's like a dream come true.
I had an excellent lunch at Bows.  Isn't it rad that there's a restaurant with a Sac Treat on the menu?!?!?
Fart Face (I accidentally wrote this and Im keeping it in) got a major picture in Sunset mag!
The Cubano, my favorite.
Look at this super thoughtful gift! It's the logo for The Wind, this power pop band from the early 80s.  I really like their record label logo (it's red and white and looks like a candy cane) and Scott made me a silkscreen of it!  Go to the link to see them performing a song.  The song is called "some friend (you turned out to be)" which I think is a really funny use of parentheses.
Phono Select hooked up an in store (or out store) performance for the kids.  The turnout was really good.  This is Jaill.

Here's King Tuff, with Audacity as the backing band.  OK, this guy on the right, you can say he looks ridic or whatever, but I admire his commitment to the Hulkamaniac look.

Closeup so you can really see it.  Check out the homemade rainbow wristbands, which is more Ultimate Warrior than Hulk, right?
King Tuff looked so cool as the wind blew his hair.

Fuckkkkk! what a good birthday.

Most rippin Harlow's crowd I've seen perhaps ever. Hailey was cracking me up with Hulkamaniac last night. Great job, Sacto, great job!

Ha! I just remembered that I had put my purse down in front of the stage and I saw a woman messing with it and she was like "all your money is falling out" and I had all these ones and fives so I "made it rain" on King Tuff (as the kids say). I don't think there were any 20s in there.

Wow! Harlows was just like the 90's last night with King Tuff. Anyone who missed the 90's, but was at King Tuff last night, that was what it was like. Only difference was we had Ian MacKaye to kill our buzz, not that poor sad sack Harlow's bouncer.

I just remembered how Lee got thrown out by the bouncer and then the bouncer let him right back in and they were seemingly bros at that point. It's all coming back to me! Plus my shirt has been located. I think I may have lost the keys to my lab's storage facility though.

Such an awesome show! Wasn't around in the 90's, so I've never seen Harlows like that… not even close. Glad we got his voice in tact this time around. That Happy Birthday show at the Hub was great too, but looked a lil painful.

Speaking of… Happy Birthday! (and congratulations too!)
