Good, Good Things
Do you know what it’s like to go to see your friend’s band play, or to go to their art opening, or some such thing, and to see their amazing work, and be so proud and happy you want to explode? To know what they’ve done is so, so good, and not feel like you have to explain anything to anyone who might have tagged along or make any excuses, but to just stand there, with your shoulders back and a big grin on your face, feeling it all hit you just where it counts and feeling happy and lucky and true.
That’s what the Manikin do for me, every single time. My favorite band in town, for at least three years. They’re fucking fantastic. They played tonight to six of the most grateful, lucky late Wednesday night denizens in town.
You know, sometimes, I just want to gather up everyone, all the truly amazing people I know, and gather them all together in the same place, so I can give them the biggest, sweetest hug and share with them the most sincere thanks and glee. I’m lucky. I know a lot of really amazing people. I just wish they could all be nearer to one another sometimes.

I was happy just reading about that show, remembering the recent times they made me and 6 lucky others smile too.
Thanks!

They haven’t played a bad show yet, and it’s a shame that hardly anyone was around to see it, but Wednesday nights are tough on old folks. More Manikin for me!
