am i going to be going to detroit in august or even at the end of july?

there's a couple of reasons why it might not happen any time soon, and it doesn't have anything to do with smelly canadian nationalism. gross.

i have lots of things to do down here. they might have got me when i was less busy, but now i'm busy. they kind of missed their chance.

however, there's also the cold reality that we're in a shitty 80s phase again and that, due to that reality, i might not be able to find many things i'd want to do.

i'm a 90s kid, but i like the 70s, and i liked the 10s. i did not like the 00s, the 80s, the 60s or, it's increasingly clear, the 20s. it's just how it works out.

something that happens in the even numbered decades is that the culture gets overwhelmingly bourgeois. the music in the even numbered decades tends to suck. more interesting music gets driven underground.

i was probably going to need to start from scratch anyways because a lot of the places i used to go to got shut down since the pandemic. there's been a campaign to get rid of all of the fun places in detroit and replace them with upper class boringsvilles. more than a few places got hit, and i'll have to see what's left.

so, it's kind of a perfect storm of shittiness anyways and at this point it might be better to wait until next year, if for no reason than that things look a little slow right now anyways.

i'll find some things. but i'm too busy working at home right now.
