Yesterday, sat bitch the whole ride down to DC. It was cool though. Jersey sucks so bad it's completely unbelievable. I'm sorry, but that smell is like FICTIONAL! passed 2 of my favorite cities, baltimore and philadelphia, and get into maryland, which i just like as a state in general. But anyway, the road we drove into DC was really really beautiful. we saw joe lally, antelope, and the evens. they were all pretty good, i'm definitely going to get the joe lally album when it comes out. antelope was also good, but i wasn't that into the vocals. then the evens, who i saw about a year ago. their new songs were great, they performed well. Ian yelled at us a little bit. i know i recently swore i would never talk shit about Ian, but really, EVERYONE at that show was about 22-50. there were like, NO teenagers there. and we really don't need to be told what punk is about again. i was talking to my roommate tommy this morning, about how punk is about creating your own ideology, and i think Ian would agree with that, but then sometimes he really does seem to feel this automatic need to tell us what punk is! If i were him, someone who accidently created what one could easily consider a religion (straight edge, i would be very very very adament about telling people to think for themselves. he contradicts himself sometimes in that way. i KNOW he wants us to think for ourselves, but him telling us to wake up IS in a sense telling us what to do. Although, me saying punk is about NOT having an ideology is kind of an ideology.
Also, mark, that guy who wrote dance of days, was working the door. he had a weird stain on his shirt, and we made fun of him for it, then will said we should leave DC because we're poison and he's right. new yorkers are terrible.
