The Growlers
Chinese Fountain

Weirdly nostalgic and forward-thinking pretty boys holding hands in the present.
The Growlers are a band I FUCKING LOVE but am too old to properly support. The one time I went to Beach Goth (Beach Goth is the Growlers' namesake style, and the name of their rave/concert/carnival thingie.), I stepped on a kid sitting in the middle of a walkway snorting drugs and for the first time in my life I didn't think, join him. I actually thought, you stupid little fucksquash, go sit and do your drugs off to the side where PEOPLE AREN'T TRYING TO WALK.
If that ain't some old man shit, I don't know what is.
I ended up giving my backstage passes to another kid I ran into that I taught 4th grade. Best teacher ever. And then I went home.
