Tardy to the Party

I was invited to the very first "Nudedragons" show in over 10 years last night. It was a secret show. Only the coolest and the most informed were invited. Its a shame that I couldn't go. The Showbox is in Seattle, WA. I am 3000 miles away without a babysitter or a plane ticket. Nudedragons are Soundgarden, people. This was their very first show in a long, long time.  I could have been part of history, but instead, I fell asleep on the couch with my almost 4 year old huddled next to me, within a halo of cracker crumbs and a snore that kept the pesky cats away.  I dreamed of flannel sheep.

Here is the email the band sent me: 

Hello Nudedragon faithful,

Your loyalty has not been forgotten, we would like to invite you to the
Showbox tonight for a chance to see us for the first time in a long while.

 Hurts me down to the grunge marrow, yes it does.
