This is photographic proof that my illness subsided sufficiently for me to see the Pixies last night. Damn it, if I pay $50 for tickets, I can will sickness away! Maybe that’s the solution for Third World illnesses. Force every cholera victim in Bolivia to buy $50 Pixies tickets, then tell them they’ll go to waste unless they feel better. Bingo: No more cholera.

Dude, doesn’t Frank Black look great in that photo? And I love the look on Kim Deal’s face.

So, if you had paid $50 to go to the W-H school board meeting, would you have been there, too?

If I'd had cholera, yes, absolutely.

Nice. The picture is so clear I feel like I'm there...I think I'll turn on the iTunes, crank the speakers, and rock out.
