I went to see Lords of Acid and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult Tuesday July 13 at Studio 7 in Georgetown. I listened to them when I was a teenager and it was cool to see them live. The venue sucked and I gave them a bad yelp but both bands were good. […]

It was advertised as a series of lectures on environmentalism, vegetarianism, sports fitness, and family fun on paper and on […]
