...that has a domain name because it used to be a music site, but not for the alt-rock band from Ohio.

Good show tonight.
I was a little worried at first because of the crazy storm that came out of nowhere, but about 20 people wound up showing up. I had to work the gate the whole time, and only saw a little bit of each band, but I really, really liked The Big House. Hopefully I can do some more shows there! Thanks to everyone who played / showed up!

Latterman - This Basement Gives Me A Fucking Headache

Tonight’s show was fun. Austin Miller, Tim & Kate, Dylan Gilbert, and Northern Howl. Everyone did really well, but I was especially into Northern Howl. Crazy good live show.
Anyway, this flyer is for tomorrow night’s show at The Big House. It’s gonna rule! Be there?

"My point is this: the end of the story isn’t always the most important. It might not even be part of the story at all, depending on how you choose to tell it. I’m sick of walking around with friends talking about ends — the ends of relationships, friendships, feelings, and hope. We all know how things end, and that’s badly. But just because it came last, it need not overshadow everything else. If you lived it, it’s all part of the story of your life — or in this case, the story of your band — and it can be added up and remembered in many different ways. We could trade in all our hopeful beginnings and buy a yacht and a summer home. We could trade in all our bitter ends for a warm bottle of beer. Either way, I’m thankful that most of us are still here."

"
We laugh. That’s life — ironic, unfair. But in our world it’s rarely bad luck or lack of support that brings on the doom. Riding through the wreckage of my friends’ lives, I can see well-placed wrenches stuck in the works. Perhaps even glimpse someone shooting themselves in the foot. Everyone likes to know they tried, and usually that they failed and can stop trying now.
I call it the ninety-nine percent success story. The noble failure. Hundreds of novels lie around completed but not published, albums recorded but not pressed, tours booked then hastily cancelled, articles written but never sent. Vast and impressive castles are build, but they’re not inhabitable. Just one (small) nail in the right place and we could move in, but I show up with a hammer and they block my way. “No,” they say. “Not yet.”
Why is everyone so scared to put in that last one percent? Having gone through the pains of labor, can they not bear to see their child leave the nest? Having sown the seed and plowed the field, how can they stand by and let the fruit rot on the tree?
…
As a community, it’s our duty to try to bring everyone’s creativity and ambitious plans to the fore, and to fruition, instead of passively watching and encouraging that potential to be wasted. To keep laughing, but keep the hard work and the hope that comes with it from becoming a joke. As a friend, it’s my duty to be that one percent.
