  1. It's times like these that I really regret living out of town. Hopefully, I can make it to some weeknight summer shows. But, man, what I would've given to hear Porno for Pyros covers the same night a grown man was shamed out of a bar after being told numerous times to fuck his own ass.

    Appreciate the video. Archive show recordings forthcoming, cp?

    P.S. Warp speed, Mr. Sulu.
