J Mascis at the Showbox tonight

Due to travel fatigue, I highly doubt I will be able to make it to this show. But if you ever liked Dinosaur Jr, I recommend you go to the Showbox tonight. J Mascis is the slacker rock god, let me tell ya. There are sure to be a plenty of former and current Seattle rock cognoscenti in attendance. The last time I saw J, it was at the old Weathered Wall, and I happened to see (and did a little hobnobbing with) members of Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Fastbacks, 7 Year Bitch, The Posies, Young Fresh Fellows, and Juned. If memory serves me, it was a record release show for a Gary Heffern/Carrie Akre project. Mike Johnson (J's former Dino Jr band mate) was also on the bill that night.
