i am playing in louisville next sunday at a suicide prevention event. i’m not sure this is such a great idea. all the songs that i know are so sad… i am having a hard time putting together a 40 minute set where i never really explicitly come out in favor of death. please come by if you can. i am a tremendous jackass and this will be a fundraiser for a very good cause.
