9/21 Atlanta, GA
Totally cannonballed up to Madeline of Cults and gushed to her, convo went like this:
Me: OMG, you guys were amazing in..
Her: Oh thanks so much
Me: No no not tonight, in Austin
Her: Uh oh um, thanks?
Me: I love you.
Lessons:
#1. I’m an idiot. I mean they were amazing (I’m sure) in ATL, but I missed them because I was late like a…well see above self proclamation. Anyway, I probably shouldn’t have cut her off to imply that she wasn’t as good as they were in Austin, but it wasn’t true, I am just still on an ACL high that can’t quit.
#2. The merch guy doesn’t want to hear what a magical time you had raging face in Austin because he wasn’t doing that. He was shucking T-shirts and watching drunk people have the fun that he wasn’t. Don’t reminisce with him because even if you’re not an idiot, you’ll become one quickly in his eyes. He’s way cooler than you will ever be.
