chis bday show
urtc/j@panther show at the smell/colin back in town
stab c!ty at alex's bar
lets start with the chis.
I got to the show late. i was in a mood because of work shit but my spirits were lifted when i saw that sylvie and teresa had been decorating the kibitz room for chissum's bday. There were photoshopped chissum pics and dick balloons everywhere.
they also had this cake made:
the ame were great as always. in the middle of our set, I presented chis with this certificate
which granted him official membership into our band. Chissum played it up by asking questions like, "does that mean i can come to your house now?"
It was a fun ass show.
urtc show at the smell
this show was fucking insane. colin was back in town and we were razzing him left and right. christie, colin, phil and I rode our bikes to the smell. the crappy ass band-the amazem3nts were playing but we saw members of URTC right away and reconnected. They were tired from touring. Todd told someone that he was hoping he'd get sick because then he would have an excuse for staying home after extensive touring
Shanty Cheryl was there taking pics. She told me the URTC would be playing punk rock. bowling. how rad is that?
so the show started and we made our way to the front. absolutely fucking nuts. the smell is long and narrow so there was no mosh pit. there was just a shitload of kids.
what was so refreshing was that the smell usually has stare at your feet bands with stare at your feet kids watching them. the exuberance in people's faces was enough to make you want to cry. this one chick kept doing FLIPS off Jimmy's drum kit and then landing on her head. then she'd do it again and again.
Toward the end of the set, Tall Jack had to stand in the back and christie and i were getting beaten up by the crowd. we were happy to see urtc but we were also happy it was over
here are some shanty cheryl pics (colin, phil, christie and i can be found in a lot of them):
then japanther played. i like them a lot from what i heard on their album. i had no idea they were a two piece. After the urtc rocked my ass off, i decided to watch them from afar. i have no idea how they make that much noise come out of their instruments but they do.
this is a pretty good band and they get the crowd moving in the same way urtc does.
after, we bought beer (shiner bock black lager) and rode home. My bike got fucked up so colin and i walked from kike's tacos back to my house and met the fast folks home.
good night
stab c!ty at alex's bar
skippy, christie, colin and i decided to go to alex's bar in long beach to see stab c!ty. originally, we supposed to take samantha with us since she had never been there but she broke her liver the night before.
we listened to the GWAR album, scumdogs of the universe, on the way up. it got we all pumped up in that 15 year old way.
Stab C!ty was opening for J0e Buck of hank III and Captain Seasn of Thr0wrag. In my opinion, stab blew all of them off the stage.
colin and skippy drank miller lite tall boys and spun around and around. we ran into a lot of people we knew that night. Chissum came out and he really enjoyed stab c!ty. I love seeing him on his home turf. We make him leave his fair city too often
I got nicely buzzed and skippy had to drive my stupid ass home.
ok
thanksgiving bs coming soon....maybe tomorrow
