Slick:
My friends' band is playing a gig at the hip bar here, and their bass player can't make it so they asked me if I could play with them that night. As amusing as that would be, I was planning on skipping town that night for New Brunswick and I am pretty out-of-practice. It is not that big of a deal to push my departure back but I am out of practice and am not sure if I can perform with them since I'll not have a lot of time to practice.
This is them, they are originally from Labrador like me. They are called the Silver Wolf Band, their manager was like "there have been a lot of wolf bands, maybe you should swap it up?" and they were like "really?" and the moral of the story is they've never heard of Wolf Parade which I found hilarious. The music isn't too complicated so basically I think I'd just be picking the root of the chord all night, so it'd be doable but not exciting.
p.s. man their music sounds real fucking dull next to wolf parade

I really don't see the problem with this! It's not actually unfair to mention that someone is gay because it's not really that unfair to assume a person is straight unless otherwise nominated. Most people seem to agree that 10% of people are gay, and just based on personal experience I would say even that is a stretch. Basically, it's a bit dumb to imagine that someone is a white male unless otherwise mentioned because half of the world is female and the majority of the world isn't white but when at most 1 in 10 people are gay is it that big a deal to point it out? Especially because there are a lot of gay people who consider being gay to be an integral and central part of their personality (why, you might even say they have Gay Pride oh my god).
I uh just realised that this is pretty condescending and I'm not sure if you personally identify as queer Emaline but that was a bit of a kneejerk reaction there.
