Welcome to Know Your Own: Choose Your Own Adventure Edition!

You’ve just moved to the beautiful city of Lexington, Kentucky - it’s Friday afternoon and you’re looking to cut loose on the town tonight, take in some local music and maybe meet some cool new people. Walking around downtown, you see a flyer for a show that looks promising. Getting closer, you see the name Idiot Glee emblazoned across the top, right above “Life without Jazz EP Release Party”.
* “Oh yes! I love Idiot Glee!” you exclaim, recalling that time your friend sent his album, Paddywhack, to you while you were on vacation and you couldn’t stop listening to it. You already know what’s up and need no convincing - there you go, your plans for the evening have been set! (Turn to page 3)
- or -
* “What’s this?” you think. ”This is curious. Maybe I should check it out but I really wish I knew whether it will be cool or not.” You fish your phone out of your pocket and check out http://idiotglee.com (Turn to page 2)

After browsing around the site and listening to some samples of his music, you’re really digging what you hear. ”Damn, these are some fine tunes - just what I need to unwind after this long week!” Just some nice, laid-back and catchy pop - the kind that makes you forget about all those petty things that have been vexing you lately. ”Whoa!” you say, looking at the list of shows he’s performed. ”He’s played all over the world - this dude must be legit! I’m sold!” You check around Facebook to find the event page for the show (https://www.facebook.com/events/416356615120976) and click “join” to let everybody know that you’ll be there. You call up your friends to make sure that they’re going as well and they all say “duh - of course!” You hit up an ATM to grab some cash and head home to get ready for the evening. (Turn to page 3)

You and your friends magically arrive at Cosmic Charlie’s at the same time. You all hug and exchange pleasantries before heading in to catch what everyone will later go on to remember fondly as one of the best shows they’d seen in a long time. On the way in, your friend Turbo asks if you’d heard Idiot Glee’s new EP. Sadly, you haven’t yet and good ol’ Turbs tells you that you’re in for a treat and that you shouldn’t forget to grab a copy since it just came out. Soft Vision, Three Legged Race, and The Fabled Canelands all kill it and gradually get everyone increasingly ready to party before James goes on at midnight. You’re getting pleasantly drunk and are having a fantastic time. Just as James starts to play, your crush winks at you with those big eyelashes and the butterflies in your stomach threaten to lift you off of the dance floor. You wish that the night would never end and it doesn’t. Lexington rules forever.
