Dude, you're absolutely spot on about this. The only band that really impressed me the whole night was Dynamite Club. The others were okay. Not bad, not great, just sort of...mediocre.
And the fact that most of the punk kids left when the most interesting band went on stage, well...it's not surprising. It's indicative of our society as a whole. I know that you and I both have gotten angered over some of our favorite TV shows having been canceled because they were too creative or too daring or too different for anything more than a very narrow audience to appreciate. I used to blame the networks for not giving them a chance...but maybe it really IS the audience at fault. Perhaps the majority really DO simply want their boring safe stories that are just like everything else.
Anyway, it's been a while since we've done a random roadtrip. You doing anything Saturday evening/night? I think I got plans with my parents during the day, but after that I'd be up for going SOMEWHERE.

I'm in. Any destination in mind, or is this a quick food run to the El Taco?
