When you invite Bethany and Abram of The Binary Marketing Show to your cocktail party, you secretly hope they’ll find a way to play something. And when they do, you have to remind yourself that inviting them over for cocktails every night will probably eventually start to get weird.

How about when you tell your poet friend that you’re going to be in town and he says it’s perfect timing because he’s going to have a show you should come to. And you think, yeah, I love his poetry, that will be fun.

We’re back in New Orleans for the weekend and got lucky enough to see Jonathan Brown, backed up by Loose Willis, perform some new stuff at Prytania Bar. Ridiculous talent on display and available to the public. Watch the video here.

We’re that table at Panera Bread that everyone else is keeping an eye on. Like we’re a cocked catapult and they don’t want to miss the impending display of destruction.
