So x-rays are negative, but boy do we feel like wusses being pushed around like that on Friday at The Smell (seen above) for a solid punk lineup of Okie Dokie, NASA Space Universe, God Equals Genocide, Sheeep, and Teen Beer. Things were much more mild-mannered last night at the club for the legend that is Calvin Johnson, but the damage had already been done (we were limping around like Hines Ward in the red zone). By the way, we narrowly lost the spread and the score by one touchdown but still made a nice chunk of change on a "ridiculous" side bet that Arizona would get a safety so we broke even (mostly). Anyway, we've pretty much healed in time for all the February happenings...

Looks like a good month.
