So, Tonight Should be Interesting

Wish me luck. I’m heading down to the protest/die in to take place immediate after the Eagles/Seahawks game in Philly. What could possibly go wrong?

Afterwards, providing everything goes well, I’ll be at Connie’s Ric Rac joining many other musicians to play Christmas songs, which, if you think about it, is fitting end to the evening. After all, Christmas celebrates the birth of the supposed Prince of Peace (if you believe in that sort of thing). Ol’ Jesus would definitely be protesting police brutality.
