Bostonist has been tangentially aware and thoroughly admiring of Jessica Hopper's writing since college and discovered that, among other things, Hopper was publishing the funny-as-hell Hit It Or Quit It music zine and writing a column in Punk Planet, alongside reading tour-mate Al Burian. Hopper's on the up and up and last year, her fantastic essay "Emo: Where The Girls Aren't" was featured in Da Capo's Best Music Writing 2004. Her byline is featured in a bunch of publications, and when she's not writing about The Mountain Goats and The Hold Steady, she's summing it all up on her hilarious blog. Hopper and Burian--Bostonist is, admittedly, less familiar with his work--are touring around New England today and tomorrow and tonight you can find them at The Dirt Palace in Providence at 7:30 PM, whereas tomorrow they'll be reading at Flywheel in Easthampton at 8PM. They promise that it will be a battle of good vs. evil and it's going to kick ass.

jessica hopper is good, but she's not coming to boston.
i saw a great movie - me, you, and everyone we know, last night. i totally went into it thinking i would hate it and bearing some irrational grudge against miranda july, but the movie was completely awesome and won me over even though it already had 2 strikes against it. the characters were so nicely developed, and july was so sincere seeming and perfect. it caught me completely off guard how good it was. you should see it.
Yo, when there's good shit going on less than 40 minutes from the greater Boston area, I'll cover it. One should feel free to write about the cape and such. Isn't Miranda July's film good? I was pleasantly surprised myself.
you can report on people less than 3 hours away from boston for all i care. i was just using it as an excuse to talk about something completely unrelated.
Damn - I'd hit that!
