Break it up, kids!
The following conversation took place while driving through Mom’s town, Petaluma, on Sunday:
Beth: Look, there’s a movie theater.
Me: There are no movie theaters in Petaluma.
(This is completely true. The closest one is in Santa Rosa).
Beth: But it’s right there. And there are names on the sign.
Me: It’s a club.
Beth: But there are names on the sign. “The Dead Kennedys.”
Me: The Dead Kennedys are a band. Like for 25 years.
(Granted, not the same since Jello Biafra left, and I still can’t believe they replaced him with that kid from The Courtship of Eddie’s Father.)
Beth: How on earth do you know that?!
Me: Because I live in the world.
Mom: Girls, stop it.

The Dead Kennedys are still performing??? Holy cow! A friend of mine in SF claims to know Jello Biafra.

Oh man, the Phoenix is such a cool place. I’ve seen many a concert there, and it’s one of the few places with enough space that even when they sell out, you don’t feel like you are going to die by stampeding punk rockers.
Oh my, I’m becoming verklempt.
