WIUX is located at 815 E 8th St. in Bloomington, IN.
This show will be very cool. Point Dume is the surf band that I am lucky to be a member of. High Dive is only the coolest of cool punks. Sourpatch might well be the best thing on tour right now. I’ve seen Sourpatch a few times. Here is my review: You see Sourpatch and all of sudden you realize that you are not cool and that you need to rethink everything about everything because these kids just show up and look great and sound great and say awesome things and you are just this loser that has to start from scratch. You’ll be like Usher, “Oh My Gosh!” So many ways to love this band.

We are very excited to play this show!

“I usually don’t talk about stuff like this on my show but I really want to thank everyone who is supporting me. If you don’t know me very well. If you’re just watching maybe for the first time or you’re just getting to know me. I want to be clear. Here are the values I stand for. I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you’d want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values. That’s what I stand for. I also believe in dance.”

Ellen DeGeneres responding to the hate group that is pressuring JC Penney to fire DeGeneres from a spokesperson gig, saying the store will “lose customers with traditional values.”  (via jessicavalenti)

A woman after my own heart!
