And while we're on the topic of gaming

Let us count the number of things wrong with this... no, is too long. Let's sum up. Gay != trans. Neither has anything to do with gaming. Gah. We know all this.

Also, for the language nerds like me "pro-gaming" is not the same as "pro gaming." The former indicates someone is in favor of gaming; the latter indicates someone is a professional gamers. Apparently the "pro-journalists" at the Guardian failed to notice this.

THAT all said, Current Genital Load-Out is totally my new band name.

I'm breaking my rule against going to The Paradise

For those not Boston-local I should explain. The Paradise is a very popular show venue in town. Lots of acts come there. It's a horrid place to see a show - sightlines are bad, acoustics are awful, and the floor squelches. No, I'm not making that up. But still, they book a lot of acts, including Bob Mould.

I'm going to see him there on May 1 - if anyone wants to join me (us) please do. He's that good.
