- Soft Circle & No Age at AV-aerie [11.18.08]
After failing to get tickets to the free No Age and Titus Andronicus show Tuesday night at Reggies, I was pleasantly surprised when my roommate came home the next day announcing that No Age was hitching on to a show at AV-aerie that night.

As usual, we’re impressed with Google Earth. It’s gone from being a sometimes-useful program to an invaluable once since the release of it’s GPS-based iPhone application.
