“This sounds like unjustly angry little men in cloaks.” @ChamberMonster is not a fan of Skeletonwitch.

Somehow I never knew Asia was a supergroup that included John Wetton, who sings on my favorite King Crimson album. Seems so obvious now!

In my dream, @trammell was wearing the Windhammer belt buckle.

Dreamed of a lively conversation between @leonardmaltin and @TheGeneOkerlund in a movie theater lobby. The two of them really hit it off.

Thank you, Iceland! You were amazing. We will be back.
