It’s a slow, sleepy day here at the Mercury office. After a punishing weekend of MusicfestNW and TBA immediately on top of it, I admit I’m a bit worn out at this point. So, in the interest of exerting as little effort as possible, I’m going to post a few random Facebook friend status updates. Sure, it’s a cop-out, but right now I can’t think of any better way to succinctly discuss all the tons of shit that have been happening. (I’ve removed the names of my friends because I’m not asking permission to do this, but I bet they’ll be pissed I’m repeating their clever, pithy remarks without giving them credit. Oh well!)
