Do you know how many people on “Facebook” have “St. Louis,” “Gay,” and “The Fiery Furnaces” in their self-description? One! Did that make Eric’s odds good or bad?

Good, it turned out. Eric drove the 4 hours from his forest by the lake in God-knows-where, Missouri, to have a date with “St. Louis/Gay/The Fiery Furnaces”: Tommy. The date of the date was on 4-20. The date took place in Tommy’s apartment. Eric and Tommy now live together. Tommy’s surprise birthday present to Eric was a trip to Chicago to see the Fiery Furnaces on 6-21. They told their story to the band at their show in St. Louis on 10-29. Moral of the story: the Fiery Furnaces Lead to Love!
