That is one powerful poster, right in the feels.

It sure is…reminds me of the last time I spoke with him, in front of the club. It really captures a powerful mood.

strange…don't think this was available at the 930 show?

I'm pretty sure I'm going next Tuesday and would be willing to pick up a few copies for those interested.

Now Available from Xtra Mile Recordings at a name your price option.

All the profits from the sale of this 7"will go to the AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION CHARITY, in memory of Josh.

Still.

every time I go to the club and don't see him sucks .. to me the club can't help but feel different.. he was literally a towering figure…it was nice to see many pictures of him at the 930 event at the beginning of the year…

I love that he's still the face on the 9:30 app.

All the time and Paul too…it is hard for me to go there and think of the club without them.

Confession: I haven't been to the club since he passed.  Part of it has been scheduling (the artists haven't been all that good during my trips to DC), but I also used to go to the club regardless of who was playing just to visit him before 2013.

I've been to Duffy's easily 10 times since and I get out of the cab and just stare over there but can't walk over.

Someday.

I can totally understand that…

yeah I took a long while….I just didn't want to deal with it cause I knew it would suck.. and it did.. but to be fair it probably coincided with a period where there wasn't anything I felt was really must see…

I don't know..its been beaten to death but for me seeing That Guy (I did not know his name was Josh) always made me smile and feel my safety was guaranteed, and more importantly maybe, there would be no bullshit/no hassle/no issues…. it also made me feel welcome when I'd get "the nod"….

for me there is definitely a before and after.. although its hard to separate completely other issues and how they may also impact (aging, less frequency of going to shows, less frequency there are shows I am interested in, etc.)

so… I didn't know Josh…other than this
I got 'the nod' a few times and and honestly, I'll never forget it.  I can just see it now as I write this
it's odd how that connection is something unrelated to the music that I'll always remember some of my shows at the 9:30

Not here.  Somewhere else you two…

Thanks for remembering and re-posting. That was an awful day in a lot of ways.

As someone, who has battled mental problems in my life, and have come close three times myself, this is awesome.
