Probably not worth a billion dollars or anything, but it’s nice to know there’s someone like the EFF willing to step up for fair use.
More important than either of these, two excellent shows were had this weekend in Ardmore and Annapolis. Thanks to both audiences for coming out and making even the afternoon show really fun and rocktastic. This Thursday I’ll be at the 8×10 in Baltimore, and then Friday at the Cutting Room in NYC.
