That's awesome. Taylor, I'm happy to hear that you liked my intro to art rock, and I'm excited to hear more about the Mastodon poster and also your experience with Amoeba music, because that is, is the epicenter of all things music and art and rock. I'm curious as to if it was the Berkeley, San Francisco or Los Angeles store. And when. Thanks, man. Bye

We were literally standing in the aisles where you're shopping for your music as we're watching them play. It was just fantastic.
