King Tuff
First time in the @philauu basement in a decade (to see @KINGTUFFY) and it feels as familiar as ever, like no time has passed at all.

Generate New York 2018
My takeaways from two days of talks on all things web design
The Generate conference made its annual visit to New York at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea from April 25–27. This was my second Generate, and unlike my first one (in 2014), it was a single track, which I much prefer.

SND NYC 2018
My takeaways from two days of talks about news design and more.
I spent the past few days at the 2018 edition of SND’s annual conference, held this year at the New School in New York City. Along with my colleagues Hannah Fresques, Lucas Waldron, and Sisi Wei, I helped lead a workshop called Visualizing Complicated Investigations, and I spent the rest of the conference taking in 17 sessions of various shapes and sizes. Here are my takeaways.

2017 Ottawa International Animation Festival
I’ve just returned from my ninth Ottawa International Animation Festival since 1998, and my first since 2010. I only got a weekend pass this time, rather than doing the full five days, but I still managed to cram in 10 screenings. This is also the first time I’ve attended the fest by myself, which enabled me to document it in greater detail than I have in the past. What follows are my notes on nearly… See more →

Iron Maiden
Tonight I’m finally seeing @IronMaiden for the first time. All it took was for them to play two blocks from my apartment.
Night Birds
Palm
Pissed Jeans
Skepta
White Reaper
Whores
Metallica
A Metallica concert in 2017 is pretty unnecessary but I went anyway and my main takeaway was that Lars’s drums were purple and sparkly.
The Revolution
Wall-to-wall joy at the Revolution show tonight. I never got to witness the man himself, but I’m so glad I got to at least do this.
Tortoise
Creepoid
Megadeth
Tonight I got to see Megadeth play in a room a little bigger than my apartment and it was very very great.
Shellac
Shellac and Shannon Wright at the Bell House tonight. It was really really good.

Riot Fest
Tonight I saw the actual Misfits play a whole bunch of Misfits songs. My voice may never come back from this one.
Riot Fest
I wanted to share with y’all a video of The Hold Steady playing all of Boys and Girls in America front to back, but I was too busy dancing.

Wolves in the Throne Room
Written documentation of last night’s Wolves in the Throne Room fan who solemnly held aloft a single invisible orange for several minutes.
Baroness
“Dude, you have orange earplugs! I hate orange. I like green!” says the smiling guy at this show with a novel approach to making friends.
The Muffs
Yeah, so @TheActualMuffs kicked all of the asses tonight, so wherever you are, if your ass is hurting, there it is.
