So Paul, I've been wondering - do you ask a friend who came with you to snap photos of you all the time, or do you trust strangers enough to take your photo and not run off with your camera?

Because I have a severe distrust of strangers, especially since there's no way I could catch them if they ran off (not without my heart/lungs exploding anyway).

Oh, that's right.  I forget that you're a Texan.

Yeah, I'd trust people more down South, or in the great sovereign state of Texas.  It's one of my favourite places in the country.

Up here in the north people are unfriendly and untrusting.  In fact, it seems the higher you go the less friendly people become - people in Delaware are nicer than those in Philly, who are in turn nicer than New Yorkers, who are friendlier than people in Boston, etc.

By the time you get to Maine you'd better mind your own business or you'll end up with an ass full of buckshot.

I'm way further west and south of all y'all and my experience is a little jaded since there is so much property crime out here....but, most of the time, I would hand my camera to someone to snap a shot.

Property crimes would be crimes against property rather than people.  Theft, vandalism or arson for instance.

Precisely, as opposed to rape, assault and murder.

I'm sorry, but Hawaii and California do not count as "The North".

The North begins in lower Delaware and extends up the East Coast to Maine.

It goes as far west as West Virginia.  The far reaches of Pennsylvania is really the farthest west The North extends.

Generally the opposite rule is true for the West Coast - the farther north you go the friendlier people are (think of the difference between L.A. and San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Canada).

The mid-west is just... unfortunate.  Outside of Chicago, I'm not sure why we need a large expanse between the coasts.

That's so true.  Maybe that's why I love Canadians so much.  Another band that played Thursday night was Black Mountain from Vancouver and they were very nice friendly people.

I'd never heard of these guys, but was impressed enough to buy their CD.  There's is a retro sound, 60's-70's psych rock.

They were playing when I was in Seattle last, but I couldn't make that show or the Vancouver show, unfortunately.  I've heard their most recent album, and it's pretty good.

since no one else has for whatever reason bothered to say it, let me just mention i think it's really bad ass that you have a picture of yourself with john darnielle and that john darnielle looks pretty concerned about it.
