#62 11/23/25 Marietta @ Black Cat, Washington, DC

Opener(s): pulses., Golden Apples

Important notes: Happy show everybody was happy happy to be here

#61 10/27/25 Sap @ Pie Shop, Washington, DC

Opener(s): Scoria, Erasergirl

Important notes: There were two brothers at this show, the younger one was celebrating his 21st birthday. They were both going crazy, especially the birthday boy. Room was pretty sparse, as it was a Monday night. During a song, I saw the older brother approach some stranger, and yell "IT'S HIS BIRTHDAY, HE WANTS TO CROWSURF!" gesturing at his younger brother, who was right there with him. The guy nervously sized up the room, he knew the crowd wasn't nearly dense enough. Then he turned to the older brother and said, "Alright, man, you and me, we'll crowdsurf him." And they did, they lifted up the younger brother and carried him to the front of the room on their shoulders. Hilarious, one of my favorite things I've seen at a show. Props to that guy for his creative problem solving.
