Tonight: Don’t Be Me; Go See Reptar

Y’all might recall that back in September I ranted & raved about Asheville/Athens band Reptar, quite possibly comparing them to the invention of the wheel, sliced bread, etc. Heck, I was even able to chat a bit with Ross Brubeck, visual-effects/video guy for the band, over here.

Unfortunately, I missed their show here back then, and had to console myself with the fact that they’d be coming back through town soon enough — namely, tonight (Thurs., Nov. 10th) up at Fitzgerald’s, where they’ll be playing with Phantogram (who I hear are also damn good).

And yet, it ain’t happening. Previous plans, previous commitments, all that, plus a late-night conference call with India I can’t escape from…I’ll be homebound this evening after all. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

So here’s my admonition of the day, gentle readers: don’t be me. Seriously; I like to think I’ve got a pretty sweet deal over here, but for one night, at least, don’t try to emulate yours truly and stay home like a lame loser. Get your ass on up to the Heights and get crazy and funky and whatever else with Reptar.

This is why:

You see? See? I’m serious about this. Balance the cosmic scales for my black hole-like suckiness tonight and go. Go. (Start getting ready now.)
