With the world the way it is, it can be hard (at least for me) to see much of a future. So, for something positive for a change, what’s happening in your personal life, what are you getting, or what ever else is meaningful right now - what’s going on that you’re looking forward to?

A number of artists I like have had/will have shows here around Seattle this year, and I decided to combat the inertia by splurging and buying tickets to most of them. I always did love live shows (but damn, have they gotten more expensive). I’m
I’ve already seen Eddie/Suzy Izzard, who was as delightful as always. Soon will be seeing Pixies, The Offspring, Josh Johnson, Demetri Martin… I think I’m forgetting somebody.
Donald Trump’s death. Really gonna enjoy that whenever it comes
This! I’m not a drinker but the day Donny dies I’m gonna get fucking trashed and celebrate.
we gotta make sure Vance dies first
I’m not concerned about Vance as much as I am Trump. We’ll worry about Vance next.
I was just thinking of that. I imagined the US military actually serves it’s purpose to defend the constitution, attempts to arrest trump, he resists and then he dies.
Is just wishful thinking tho…
Getting out of Texas! As of Wednesday I’ll be heading north and leaving the southern US completely.
After ten years keeping bees as part of a charity project, next year I’m leaving that and getting my very own bees. I’m very excited at the prospect!
Also, at the end of this year I’m going on a trip abroad for the first time since 2019. I’m quite apprehensive but still looking forward to it.
Building a fence. It’s really going to improve my life.
It’ll be fun to build. Look good. Contain my dog. Keep deer away from some stuff. Be a trellis for climbing flowers.
I’ve built a lot of fences.
Figuring out why I’m sick! I saw a new doctor today. The staff was nice. Every single time I step foot in the office, my blood will be stolen. Exciting!
Good luck! I hope the docs come up with solutions as well as a diagnosis, and you recover.
Hopefully! Today was just intake. They took all my blood. Okay, a lot of blood.
I have the same problem… um I guess the resurgence of 80s style things again? Seems like a lot of people love the designs (I always have) and more and more stuff is trying to mimic that style. Also the resurgence of records and tapes is good, we need to own our media again and stop streaming. Also VR improving will be fun if we can keep corpo shit out of it
Going to the UK in October, looking forward to it!
A future wave and welcome, bring your brolly! Whereabouts will you be visiting?
London, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and Liverpool. 10 days total. I’ve always been a bit of an Anglophile, a big history nerd, and a huge Beatles fan. I can’t wait!
Liverpool? My condolences, at least it’s not Birkenhead on the other side of the mersey.
Awesome, still never made it to Stonehenge yet. You’ll have a blase! Annoyingly, I’m London for a few gigs next weekend or Saturday for the Solstice would be ideal
Retirement
Music is central to my life, so upcoming releases, gigs, clubnights and festivals are my escapism drugs. That and uh, the actual drugs
Going to the wedding of some close friends too in July, they’re great people so I’m sure it’ll be a blast!
Finally, slowly but surely making progress on my house which I bought three years(!) ago, both in terms of much needed maintenance and filling out with furniture. Still lots to be done!
Exciting! Enjoy the ride, my friend!
I’m working on a freelancing project for a company that’s going to be paying me over $5k for the work I’ve done. I don’t know what I’m going to be using the money for but it’ll be nice to not have to worry about money for a while.
The sweet oblivion of death. No seriously, oblivion sounds awesome. Like that time I had surgery, but without the waking up afterwards part at the end.
Same. Everyday my eyes open its the first bad thing to happen to me that day.
Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it’s hard to see much of a future - there isn’t one here for me. It’s unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I’m paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I’m out this summer.
Good for you. First thing when you land in a place you like and can afford is to build a strong and reliable support system. Good luck to you!
Thank you. I’m a mega-loner hermit and where I’m going is a very small town. If there’s a place for me in the community there I’ll give it a shot, but even if not, I still think I’ll be a lot better off than I am now.
My Rollerblades should be here Wednesday! Last I had a pair I was probably 17, but I started playing Bomb Rush Cyberpunk (spiritual successor to Jet Grind Radio) and was instantly hit with the urge to get back out there.
Eventually not living anymore.
Yup.
