Atomic Brains, Three Trojans, Overnight Lows, Martin’s, March 16, 2003.

faked by Monday, January 29th, 2007



At least I think this is 2003. Okay, whoa: I tried to Google something related to this, and found a post I did referencing the show. Meta! And: gross. That was old catoptric, pre-scanner, and my writing style is—how you say—weak game.

Notice the requirement of a date amendment on this flier, and the fact that I got the name of one of the bands wrong. I love this flier because I think the lettering in “Atomic Brain” [sic] and “Martin’s” is among the best I’ve ever done.

I cashed in a PBR bucket full of change, running it through a Coinstar, a lot of the money dating to old Musiquarium tips. I got $182.25. Yes: you read that right. And nestled in between the strata of nickels and Sacajawa dollars (I had nine??) were various notes and stuff I’d stuff in my pocket as I left the bar. My favorite: one from Woodroe that said

Dear Gorjus,

I’m going to punch you so hard in your [expletive for female parts] that you’re going to vomit.

Love,

Woodroe

So, years after retirement, MQ pays my bills yet again! Thanks, guys.

Update: Ted Leo does a great solo version of “Dancing in the Dark.”

  1. Well, now I have to go see Ted when he comes here in April.

    I think I dig the flaming horse most of all.

    This is one of your best! There’s so much going on.

    I have this flyer, but I can’t figure out why: I didn’t live in Jaxxon in March of 2003. Huh.
