“Hey, Fred!” (It’s the Fourth of July…) Nights Out 06/30-07/06/14

He said, ‘Steve, it’s because people leave And no highway will bring them back.’” -Silver Jews, “Random Rules” If I had to pick one reason I go to see art it’s because I want to be set on fire.  Sure, I don’t want it every night – I’m a big proponent of Kafka’s only looking for books that crack you like an ice axe, but I like popcorn...
