Name: Circa Survive
Genre: Rock
Day: Friday

Wikipedia sez: “Circa Survive is an experimental rock band consisting of former Saosin vocalist Anthony Green and members of the now-defunct This Day Forward. Green cites Paul Simon, Dredg, and Björk among the artists who have influenced the vocal stylings and songwriting in Circa Survive, which is comparatively less aggressive than Saosin.”

If people read this blog chances are they’d say I’m wrong about what is coming next, but Circa Survive sound like that generic rock band you see in a movie or tv show when the main characters are going out to see a band. Not that this is bad by any means, but they have a sound that isn’t the most unique when it comes to rock. They remind me of The Mars Volta, if you are after a comparison. They do appear to put in an energenic live performance however, and may be worth seeing just for that.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: There’s a chance, especially since they play Friday.

Really, this doesn’t deserve ranting about, but I need to do it.

I get the button with

Folds to MP who makes it 60 to go. I decide to call, figuring I still have time if I miss.
SB calls the 50.

Flop comes

SB checks. MP bets 120. I re-raise to 480. SB re-raises to 800. MP calls, I shove instantly for everything. SB insta-calls, MP calls.

SB has for a set of sixes.
MP has for a pair of nines.

River:

All over in one hand, thanks to a one outer. While it isn’t the sickest beat I’ve had in the last few weeks (the guy who hit a runner runner 5% shot was worse), I guess my two re-raises meant I was on a flush draw with a pair?
