Notes From Great Northern

2 comments | posted Jul 20

GreatnorthernashleyHey! Your ol' pal Ashley here to tell you that last night was another smashing round of rock awesomeness. The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Michigan is littered in history with its wall to wall resume of rock n' roll royalty; everyone from Nirvana to Jimi Hendrix has played this venue. It's so historical, in fact, that the self-proclaimed "World's Oldest Clown" made an appearance during our set. This man was so hardcore that he even claimed to have invented the world's first balloon animal.

On a more serious note, I took the time out to really reflect on what makes these individual clubs so special...and came to the conclusion that it was simply the community. And at the root of every burgeoning community is one certain hidden treasure trove of knowledge. And where might one find this sea of enlightenment? Why, behind any door of nearly every girl's bathroom stall. Within these doors lie so many secrets and morsels of wisdom that one can hardly take them all in in one "sitting." For your convenience I have documented just a few of my Sharpie-inscribed favorites:

the aspiring poet who uses time on the pot to quote T.S. Eliot:

"Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."

the outgoing cheerleader we ladies all could use a little more of:

"Ladies get your bleed on!"

and the angst-ridden teen inside all of us who writes hostile messages like:

"Renee Vector has a set of nipples that smell like spinach."

well, folks...that's all we have for tonight's round of genius ideas brought to you by America's finest. Always remember to keep those markers handy and the drinks flowing.

-Ashley
