This past weekend I learned an important lesson. Riding a bicycle while hungover HURTS...

This will be short and sweet. The NYC Haunted House is LAME. A lot of work is put into it, and the people doing the parts are decent, but the setup and scenes are not planned very well...

IIIIII'm forever blowing bubbles! Pretty bubble in the air! They fly so high, they reach the sky, and like my dreams they fade and die!

Elijah Wood plays a harvard student unfairly expelled for taking a cocaine wrap for the admission president's son 2 months before graduation. In his dispair, he goes to england, originally to see his sister, but due to getting mixed up...

Jesus come and pushed him off the stage...

Channel 3, 45 Grave, D.I., Circle Jerks, Adolescents.

After the stress of the week, and losing a friend, I had to take myself off the clock for this one, because I just needed to enjoy a show.

I still helped schlep things to the stage, etc, but I couldn't handle being in charge of entries, etc. I...

A Blog to Who...

OK so I passed out on my couch, and only made it in time to see Conflict's set. God they are awesome live. They played an encore, then left, then played anotehr encore to the 20 people who hadn't actually left yet after the first encore just because they enjoyed playing so much!

I just (9:30 am) got home from helping...

The unmissable force

So Conflict played. CONFLICT. FUCKING. PLAYED.

Honestly I was impressed that they still play so well, but not all that into their set, as I was overtired and wanted to hear Declaration of Independance.

Verbal Assault was surprisingly good.

Lost Cherees flew all the way from fucking england to learn that they were playing first, to like 7 people. They were really...

Getting too old to break out

Sunday, August 29th, Sham 69 show...

1> I got there late. I got there during Flipper. See previous blog for details of their suckitude.

2> Sham 69 went on at midnight. This means work today will suck donkey ass. That said, it was worth it. The energy, talent, stamina, and general feel was still there. Jimmy still looks like...

Dead Boys: OK, here's where things get...

I walked over to CBGBs on Friday to see Living Colour, and ended up getting paid to work the back door for the show. The crowd was pretty mellow, and had I not been overly tired and hungry I would have enjoyed the conversations. I DID however, love the set. Living Colour are STILL amazing, and such incredibly friendly guys to boot. I really hope...

Friday, I worked security for the "Misfits" show at CBGBs. Despite being saddened at seeing Jerry try to ressurect the legend status of the band by himself, it was pretty enjoyable. Jerry is a surprisingly friendly guy, and his kids are pretty reasonable, as well. The show was only them, so it went quickly, and I got to go home earlier than I expected (though...
