Heavy Metal Sunday has had this band intravenously.

Evans Blue is an alternative/hard rock act out of Toronto, Canada. It's also the name of a dye used to measure blood volume. Found them while cruising various online radio stations, and while they skirt the edges of heavy metal, I thought they were good enough to share with y'all.

So enjoy Evans Blue performing Erase My Scars, their current single of their self-titled third album.

Peoples of the universe please attend; the message that follows is vital to the future of you all

I am creating a Local Gamer filter. I now live only five minutes from a great game store with oodles of tables for play. No charge, you just need to schedule a time. So I am now going to start doing a series of polls to determine what people want, and how they want to do this.

In the past, such polls have always attracted several well-meaning people who are local only in that they live on the same planet. I understand wanting to contribute, but it gets frustrating.

So, let me know if you want to be on this filter. "Local" in this context means being able to make it to Santa Clara (specifically to Game Kastle) once or twice a month to spend a day gaming, probably with food after. "Gamer" means you are interested in playing a paper and pencil role-playing game with me as the GM (although I'd love to get a group going with other people taking the chair from time to time. I love having players who take an active role in building the game.

Everyone can comment, but please use the phrase Please add me to the filter in your reply if you meet the criteria. If you're not local, and want on just to see what I'm planning, go ahead, but please do not take part in any planning polls. I'm really kind of desperate to get a social life going again.

Again, we're not big on group photos. That me and my mom at Christmas, 2008.
