they talked about Ryley like he was a God at this show. Dino was headlining, but we all knew we were there to see Ryley. J Mascis was there in the crowd handing space dabs to people. Robert Pollard showed up and kept talking about how Ryley had "dunked on him at b-ball" weeks ago like it was a rite of passage. soon enough, they descended upon the stage like guitar angels. we all transcended that night. if you listen close enough on a clear night through bandcamp, you can hear it, too.
