    Escondido’s Team Cretins put together this show with a number of other mutual aid organizations to raise funds for the AIDS/LifeCycle ride from SF to LA.

    Ryan asked me to play this show and the very next day had to back out upon realizing he’d double-booked himself to sit in with Swing Kids in LA the same night. Obviously I wasn’t going to begrudge him taking the bigger gig, but it did leave the question: how the hell do you play Read more
