Amherst Pandemonium (Part 2)
WOW WHAT A FUCKING WEEKEND YAH KNOW? THURSDAY - MONDAY PARTY!
Thursday night I hung out with Jessica(the ex).. what a mistake that turned out to be. Dan Bonez knows what I'm talking about. Anyway at 11pm I went over Catherine's house and I chilled there(aka watched softcore porn and freddy vs jason) until it was 3:30am and dola/steve showed up and we departed for Amherst, Mass. We got there around 9am. It was a decent trip.. Catherine and I made a stop at Roy Boy's.. but not the truckstop version. So we got to Amherst, chilled a little bit because we couldn't start recording until 10am when most of the people left the house. So recording started which meant I couldn't do anything for like 4 hours so I sat there and chilled. Will(the dude who recorded us.. ex orchid, member of ampere.. stoked) is a nice fella. After awhile it seems that he took a likin' to us and started to trade jokes and shit. Saying stuff like 'slam dunk'. I kinda lost my voice doing the vocals but it worked in the end. After that we went to some freezing cold, packed burrito place. Then we drove 2 hours to Manchester, NH. Did I mention Darryl played second guitar on two songs and did vox on 3 songs? HE DID! We went to bed at his house.
Saturday then began. We got up and went to the city part of Manchester looking for a good time/food. We ended up at this cute pizza place. It was sweet. Then we went to the Mall and took pictures in a photobooth for or cd insert. Then they were put together at Office Max. Dola and I went back to darryl's to burn the cds. Then flan, darryl, and mcdoo showed up because they were done practicing and we all hung out until people showed up and it was time to go to our show. So we drive to Salem, NH and after awhile we realize nobody has a key to get so we wait around the show starts a little after 7. The lineup was et tu brute, daniel striped tiger, bravo fucking bravo, ten and two, and the critic. The show was pretty good, bands had to play on a stage though but oh well. It was punk. During the show I called Jessica and she informed me she made out with this 22 year old bro. Fucking shit yah know? The day after she got with me. Whatever.. I cried, Bonez hugged me. It was sweet. Then we finally played and it was weird.. dola played in the crowd. People seemed to enjoy it. After the show we went to Dennys where I ate other people's food and then we went to Jocelyn's house for some sort of party. The party was watching videos. I layed in like the kitchen. It was a good relax moment. Then we went back to Darryl's where we put kids on the edge breaklist website.. kids like steve and then 5 kids slept on Darryl's floor. Shit was packed!
Sunday came and it didn't leave for awhile. I woke up real early and showered and shit and then everyone got up and by the time we were all up it was time to leave for Vermont. We stopped at this store so the kids could buy fake mustaches, Ralph Gannon was running the register. Then we headed for Vermont. We got to this place in Vermont where Mike Richard lives. Dude is 19, lives with his girlfriend in a log cabin in the hills, doesn't even have plumming. THEY HAVE AN OUTHOUSE! Damn. We chilled there and then went to the show, we brought him with us. We also had to wait for the keys to get into this venue too.. haha. We ate at a pizza place, it was sweet. Then the show started. Tuck's band Minamata opened. They were pretty good. Then Call It Arson played some mellow rock stuff and that was good. Then we played and we had one of our best sets. The crowd got into it and it was just good times. The Critic followed that up with an amazing performance. After the show we said our goodbyes and headed home but..
WE GOT CAUGHT IN A SNOWSTORM IN CONNETICUIT AND HAD TO GET A HOTEL. Damn.. it was fun though. I was throwing soap against the wall and shit. Dola and Steve shared a bed, steve said some creepy shit because he didn't know who Gary Coleman was exactly. I got to share a bed with Catherine, she must have been scared of me because she slept in a sleeping bed on top of the bed sheets. haha. We watched Angels in the Outfield and everyone then fell asleep.
Monday afternoon we got up and made the drive to Jersey. Only 4 hours so it wasn't bad. I stole a huge cheeseburger from a Burger King buffet thing, it was cool. And to sum up the weekend:
-ten and two recorded an ep and 2 songs for a split with the critic
-we made some new friends
-played two shows
-chilled with cool people
-i personally spent about 14+ hours in a car with catherine park.. it had its ups and downs
-steve almost got into a few accidents
-lots of fun was had
-punk!
