@wess@social.lol We were probably at his last Cat's Cradle show together then! I think it was an anniversary tour, right? It's really a fantastic book, but it's left me a bit of a wreck as I try to determine how much it throws a wrench in how I want to live. I think it'll be worth it long term though. I'll absolutely try to keep this in mind! I used to frequent the Green Bean a bit, which I think may have been renamed now. My pals were in a group called The Collection, which is slightly renamed now that it's a solo project: https://davidwimbishandthecollection.bandcamp.com. I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard of them before. They used to play around Greensboro all the time.

@joshuagrady@social.lol Yes, we probably were. We used to tune in most Fridays (?) when he'd do his living rooms shows over zoom during Covid. We did it enough that he got to know my son's name! haha... If you're looking for another good book dealing with attention I'd recommend "Attensity! by the Friends of Attention" and "Stand out of Our Light by James Williams" those are two texts I'm using my my class on silence. Yes, Green Bean has changed hands a couple times. There's a really good shop here now called "the Burrough" and I run a small local roasting company but we only work out of a Saturday farmer's market and online. I'll look into the band - it's new to me.
