I believe in dark venues and loud music. I generally dis-believe in nature. That is, when I plant a seed in the earth, I have about as much confidence that it will open as I do that the Posies will stop playing reunion shows.

But ever the cautious optimist, back in the Fall I stuck some tulip bulbs in the ground. Then with SXSW and with relaunching the TIG website, I somehow forgot to notice that winter ended… until today. I stepped outside my house and, in the one-day-to-be-immortal words of Night Canopy… BOOM, It's Spring! I MADE NATURE WORK!!!!

I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the actual final Posies show, however. They have an acoustic show at the Triple Door in Seattle on May 11th.
