love physical media! I live down the street from @bestvid an amazing video store that's been granted well-deserved cultural non-profit status like a library. Every time in there is just pure joy. They have so much International stuff, movies organized by director, it's a Xanadu

What a treat it was to host a show by Damon (@dada_drummer) & Naomi last night at Best Video. Wonderful music by delightful (& funny!) people before an appreciative crowd. Thx to promoter Fernando Pinto for bringing that show to our venue.
We just completed a run of all independent venues in the northeast and it was a great boost to see the solid music communities each has around them - thank you @ColumbusTheatre @CrystalSville Tubby’s @UnionPool Jerry’s on Front & @bestvid. There is oxygen outside Live Nation/AEG
