Do you like The Rolling Stones? My friend Angie does. Every year she has the Stones play her birthday party, and everyone’s invited. This year, I get to be Mick, Keith, and a little Bill, I guess? Come to the Carousel Saturday @ 7. I guarantee that you’ll get some satisfaction.

It’s a poster for the above-described show that shows an illustration of a pouty Veronica Lodge wearing a plum-colored longsleeve T-shirt that says “Star Star.” It lists the bands: Bruised Sinatra, Larry Seaman, Texacala Jones, Nick Ferrari, Cheap Fix, The Eric Hisaw Band, Street Fighting Man, Lisa Gamache, The Midnight Ramblers, The Differentials, Cocksucker Blues. There is a costume contest.

I just sent a bunch of emails. Sorry to be so impressive.

Chad Nichols @chadlowtel.bsky.social · 6d

Ha. Same.

I keep hitting ~ instead of ! in my messages, and I think it's a nice touch. E.g., "Wow~" Might start doing so intentionally.

Chad Nichols @chadlowtel.bsky.social · 7d

Wow!

I had a good sandwich yesterday, but I forgot to take a picture, so I guess it didn't happen.

You can read an excerpt of my novel that releases tomorrow here, at TheNerdDaily! thenerddaily.com/the-night-th...

A Facebook post with the following text and a link: Tomorrow, my novel THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL releases in the US. You can find it in almost any Barnes & Noble and many indie bookstores. I don't know how many libraries will have it but almost every library has a form where you can request that they buy a copy. There is also an audiobook you can purchase at whatever vendor you prefer, B&N, Audible, etc. Also, the Libby app carries ebooks and audiobooks and more than likely you'll be able to find it there within the next week or so. This has been both a personal and public service announcement.

If you'd like to read an excerpt, you can find one here.

There are still those scenarios you mention first. We played a free afternoon show yesterday with two young bands, and it was packed. It’s just the bands we used to see that way are now only playing those annoyingly expensive shows now.
