    Summary

    Going places you wouldn't usually go (like a weekend long vintage convention) can be nerve wracking. But it's usually worth it for the people you meet (like a really cute cosplaying vendor).

    Summary

    The problem with playing arenas is that, from the stage, every arena looks basically the same. Metal frameworky bits, lots of lights overhead, big screaming crowd of people, not much else to see. The people tend to scream pretty much the same stuff every night, too. It's all, “Woooo, Blackbeard!” and “Yeahhh, Blackbeard!” and “Play Stop Or I'll Make You Eat Your Toe!”

    Over and over, all around the world, ad infinitum. If Blackbeard wasn’t a solo act, he would’ve broken up by now.

    Ed misses the stuff that makes rock real. The passion. The rabble-rousing.

    He’s got a couple of days between tours, and for once, just once, he wants to start a night without knowing how it'll end.

    Summary

    When the new tattoo shop opened down the street, REVENGE painted in the window in a gaudy script, Ed didn’t think much of it.

    Summary

    “Look - I don’t usually do this, but I am the food critic for The Anchor, and it’s imperative that I -”
    “Oh, a food critic! Well that changes things.”
    “Does it?”
    “Sure. What was that name again?”
    “Stede Bonnet. Food Critic, Stede Bonnet.”
    “Right. Well, fuck off, Food Critic Stede Bonnet. Blackbeard’s Bar and Grill is all booked up.”

    The manager at the new restaurant Stede is trying to review is being kind of a dick. A certain member of the waitstaff, however, takes a bit of a liking to him.
