We Lost a Lot of Good Men That Day


"I lost my virginity to this song"
-Chris Modeen, during "Black Hole Sun"

We received word that the "head bouncer" from the last Boru's show had since resigned from his post.  Coincidentally, no noise complaints were voiced last night.  Fuck his ass, indeed.

  2. i really slept on that one. Show notes have been amended. While there was a faint odor, no actual bass fires were reported at this show. My sincere apologies.
