Four Enclosed Walls

Mary Beth and I got our taxes done yesterday, but we made a mistake and had to mail in a check right after I got home from work for an amendment or whatever. Yikes! But should be all good. In the afternoon I went up to the pandh to see Martin Atkins do a little talk about his time in Public Image Ltd.! I was there a little bit and everyone was still setting up and Martin realized he'd lost a cable so I volunteered to run home and get a replacement. Then Jack Alberson played a set. Then Martin did his talk. It was just wonderful. He was endlessly entertaining and very, very, very funny. And he even had drums and did a few bits of samples of some of the PIL drums, especially from The Flowers of Romance. And that was just fucking awesome getting to see him playing those drum parts! Anyway, really awesome event. The turnout wasn't very good but it was St. Patrick's Day so there was a lot going on in town (and I didn't even realize til later that Elizabeth Warren was here in town at a thing at the same time). Later at night Mary Beth and I got around to playing the new board game she got Fog of Love. It was a lot of fun. It's a card-driven euro-style board game with role playing elements (each player makes up a character based on cards and you're dating and stuff). Mary Beth was a wedding planner named Bridey Whitt and I was a criminal named Vivian Stryke. We both blew our main objective towards the very end but generally we had a pretty successful "relationship."
