Craftsmen Of Intensity

The DJ night at Funhouse was a let down. There was a good turnout about evenly divided between regulars and friends/acquaintances, but it was spoiled for me by a terrible soundsystem that was never allowed to be louder than a blasting clock radio. No volume, no bass, no movement of any kind. Eh.

Pierced Girl: You should play some Mr. Bungle.

Me: (silent exasperation)
