Glasgow Story

[robs]

Just thought I'd share this one.  As I was leaving my house to catch the bus from Aberdeen to Glasgow, my eight year old boy hands me a loom band bracelet and says "Can you give this Craig Finn"?  So I tweeted Craig with my mission, and he favourites the tweet.  Five rows back and at the end of Killer Parties I gently lob this bracelet onto the stage, and it miraculously (given my questionable sobriety) lands at Craig's feet.  He looks a bit confused but picks it up and walks off stage.  Within fifteen minutes he has tweeted this:

Needless to say my son was and is still beside himself.  After an hour and a half (and what an hour and half it was) Craig didn't need to do that, but he did.  Another damned fine reason to be proud to be part of the Unified Scene.

We are all the Hold Steady.

That is so lovely.
How many other front-men would do that?

My son is a bit loom-band obsessed - he'll love this story!

Brilliant.

I saw Craig pick that up and then the photo popped up on Twitter, my first thought was "you wouldn't see Bono do that"

Just another reason that THS may be the best band out there.

craig asked me about the band my 7 year old made me. i spinned him a yarn about being part of a cult quickly followed by the truth when he looked a bit nervous. he thought its a great creative outlet for kids. which it is. except my house is full of the bloody things

Mine too.

Bracelets, key rings, even Disney figures made out of loom bands.
Still, it keeps em off the streets!
