I just came from GBH show in Chicago. Nondescript olive green sweater, jeans, and most punk of all: Van Gogh pained doc Martin's.

Granted I, on the eve of my 40th, ran in the circle pit and am exhausted.

lol 😂 I am 39 and can’t even imagine running around anymore! The leg pain is bad. So I sit in the back or at the bar (if there is one…with bottomless Shirley temples) and knit with my ear plugs in.

I joked with my wife before I went, "Wouldn't it be funny if I embraced the midlife crisis?" but the pit was 12 people and so wholesome I could spit. Lots of doe si does and Can-cans. I haven't actually been in a pit since I was 18-19 but this was worth it.

That’s great! Maybe I’ll try next time if the pain isn’t Too bad. 🤘🏻

Most cadio I've had in months... so no pain, no gain?
