Since I've been gone

To continue the theme of blogging like I haven't left town, allow me a minute of your time to encourage attendance at Bluestate. The new, apparently goth-ier, two-person act appears at Saint-Ex tomorrow. I know how hard it is to get out of the house on a Tuesday night, but it's totally worth it in terms of free drinks and Swedish bands you've never heard of.

As an egotistical jerk who spends too much time writing in the first person, I fully understand how much my absence impacts the Bluestate experience for many of you. For this reason, I have taken the liberty of offering a handy replacement conversation you can print out and read at Saint-Ex, filling in your own responses to my witty banter.

Generic Bluestate Coversation

Me: Hey, what's up? Thanks for coming out tonight!

You: ________________________

Me: Well, I think some more people will come a little later. You know, _____ is playing at the Black Cat and ______ is at 9:30, so a lot of people will come here after the show is over.

You: ________________________

Me: Well, just the usual, with a few new adds. Have you hear the Hard-Fi album? It's hot - like Maximo Park meets The Libertines, only less dance-y. Except the song I'm playing. Have you heard it?

You:___________________________

Me: Oh, I'll email you a copy of the single.

You:___________________________

Me: Yeah, I think the bartender is the one who is the drummer in Monopoli, or the bassist or something.

You:___________________________

Me: Well anyway, thanks again for showing up, I know you have work Wednesday morning. I need to say hi to the DCist posse - they just walked in. I'll swing by later - do you want a free poster?
