sometimes your mind has to expand in a different direction. put down the russian literature. the didion. whatever it is you flash ppl with at the boutique coffee shop. pick up the Ice Planet Barbarians. the colleen hoover. i dare you
Fuck the classics, unless that's what you ACTUALLY want to read. Read erotic novels, books only written by Real Housewives or just the paper. Just read, your aging brain will thank you.
as always, moderation is key — but you can learn a lot from a bad book. Pacing, structure, character, dialogue... Just make sure you have a chaser, even if it’s something you’ve read a million times.
people who aren’t physically here or don’t have an open mind won’t get it. some people even live here and refuse to understand it. beneath the tech mist is a burgeoning art/music/creative scene reminiscent of the early days. it’s the place to be and it’s gorgeous! you can surf, skate, snowboard, hike all in the same day then catch your buddies band at kilowatt! i love it here!!
yeah sometimes it’s $10-$15 for three bands you’ve never heard of but mostly it’s a night of new music, fun experiences, and cool people you would've never met otherwise. My band is playing at Arthouse Gallery in Berkeley.
