Yeah, T-Rich. What's up with the snub?
I love Top Shelf. I really do, and I'll keep going. But it seems like there's just a repeated cycle of names sometimes.
Also because the lineup is almost never what's announced.
You should just ask Nick or something, in case someone drops out. I mean, if you look at the list, all that's left is like, you, me and Atif. (And Larry Poon! Where is Tony in all this commotion?)
Anti-blogger bias?
Me thinks it might be because I stink, you're young and Atif... well without a beard he's just a shell. I'm sure Nick would be cool if asked. Ask Justin, I want to see your name on that list. And Bigfoot's but, well, that's just a pipe dream...
I tried to ask Nick, via the book of Faces and at Solly's, but it was a really awkward answer. I can tell that scheduling the show's really a massive responsibility and probably pretty nerve-racking. I did insist that I do want to impress Nick Turner before he gets out of town and if anything opens on the 20th to consider it and he seemed more comfortable there.
That's a real plus right there. I mean, I do a lot of open mics and it's always just trying out new stuff with no pressure so sometimes I feel like I never really get a chance to show how good I am (cockiness? somewhat), at least to the DC...ers.
But, you. You've been around a while. Stinking or not, the scene has grown accustomed to your stench and the Top Shelf audience deserves to bask in your odor.
(The word verificaton here was "evbkuzgm"...which is particularly ambitious, I think)
