Absinthe!

[teaberryblue]

This really happened one night during Mardi Gras at Scott’s bar back when he was at the Green Goddess in NOLA. I meant to draw a comic about it then, but I sort of tapered off on my auto-bio comics and did more fictional ones at that point, so it never happened. Now I’ve been doing more real life stuff on account of the distillery, so I figured I’d get this one done too.

It's a little bit amazing how many times I've heard that reaction. And I don't even work in the industry.

What I want to know is what these people expect it to taste like. Or why they don't ASK what it tastes like,

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

They expect it to taste like POTENTIAL DEATH IN A BOTTLE probably.

And French Symbolists.

Toooootally.

LOOK AT HIS LOVELY LITTLE FACE.

LITTLE GUITAR MEANS PARTY.

Seriously though. I love him so hard.

Oh man I am so glad someone else has seen and appreciated the "little guitar means party" video... unless he's started saying that on tour all the time or something IDK HE NEVER PLAYS HERE. He played here in 2009 and it was amazing and was apparently the first time he'd played here since 2004. :(

He says it in shows now! Where is "here" for you? I live in NYC, and even here I feel like he doesn't play enough. I saw him once in 2010, and twice (back to back) in 2011, and I was so single-mindedly OBSESSED afterwards that I came THIS CLOSE to dropping everything and following him around on the rest of his tour.

I'm in Austin, which is weird because everyone likes playing Austin. It's an experience. And last time he did play here it was amazing. Some of my friends actually flew to New York to see him on his last tour since it had been so long already since he came down here. :/ Next time he announces in advance that he's playing a city where I have crash space, I might just buy a damn plane ticket.

... If he'd even play in Louisiana that would be better. I've driven to several cities there for shows before, but usually there's not even that option.

That IS weird that he wouldn't play Austin. Boo! Here's hoping for next tour, though.

Also, ooh, Louisiana. I almost said I've never been there for a concert or otherwise -- then I remembered New Orleans is in Louisiana. Um. Duh. I went to one concert there because Carbon Leaf (my faaavorite band) played a pre-cruise show the night before the Rock Boat left. :)
