oh why must you be at an all-ages venue, shellac?

because they like to support that kind of thing whenever they can, Max. Even doing an all ages show at Berbati's Pan, which is a rarity.

Because I actually want to hear the band for once, not people chatting loudly and clinking glasses.

ok well i like to drink alcohol!

big black was so loud i couldn't think - i wouldn't worry about clinking glasses.

I think I still suffer from hearing loss after the firecrackers went off at the Big Black show. They killed it tonight.
