Caught up with an old friend recently, a great guy I used to hang out with at hardcore shows. He's in a new band, Hoist the Colors, doing the Flogging Molly/Pogues Irish folk-punk thing.

Those of you in the South Bay, looks like they play a lot locally. You SFers, they're coming to town 3/13. Show 'em a little love. As if you need an excuse to get out for a Guinness...
