What is this facebook thing I keep hearing about?
Does Bob Dylan use it? Because I only do what Bob Dylan does.

Overthrow the totalitarian regime of the chickpea and join the dip/spread movement of the future. Chutney. Chutney's where it's at. Chutney > hummus in every way. Bland homogeneity no longer! Chutney lovers of the world, unite!

10:08: I'm actually fully expecting that since I was at the show last October when they came on around that time. I prefer it. Gives me plenty of time to get fucked up enough to get sucked into the vortex of a pit. PSYCH!

In case anyone's interested, Down goes on at 10:00 until 11:15 (per the box office).
