tuesday i woke up and got hoagies with nick and then watched a bunch of 30 rock with nick and andy/ then took the subway over to west philly and went to perrys house. hung out there for awhile and played with his cat. then we packed up the car and went and picked up jeff in fishtown and went to the subburbs for the show. everyone was really good. bearhug (paramedic) played first and were really good. better then paramedic even. after them lighten up played and were really great too. all the new songs were awesome, and so was the gorilla biscuits cover. then sidekicks played and were awesome. like legit great. played a few new songs that were all very awesome. then spraynard ended the show and were spraynard. good set but very short. after that perry drove me home and i ate and then rode over to laurens house to go to sleep. wednesday i worked truck and it was truck. god i hate that job. after that i went home and rested for a hot minute. then luther me tony and lauren went to brooklyn for a show. got there in pretty good time. luther played first. were ya know, luther. then timeshares played and were really great. they get better everytime i see them play. then the sidekicks played again and were so incredibly great. they played all the songs that i love that they didnt play the night before, including small, and the island, but didn't play looking.then the crappy ghost robot ninja band played last but i slept through there entire set. all in all brooklyn was great. got an entire pizza and saw some friends. it did suck cause it ended up being dans last show with the band. we drove home that night and i slept the entire way home.thursday i am not sure what i did during most of the day. i know that night i went to the diner with lauren and danielle and met nick greg andy phil and his girlfriend. had a pretty good time there. then me and lauren went to her house and watched What We Do Is Secret, which was absolutely great. so stoked on the whole thing and the bronx as black flag ruled. went to bed after that.
friday was the house boat show. not sure what i did earlier in the day but i know i went with nick andy and phil to the luther practice space and helped them get there stuff for the show. on the way back it was brought to my attention that the house didnt have a pa for the show. so i scrambled around to find a pa.
finally was able to borrow the one at the banana stand. but when we got it to the show space we discovered it did not work correctly. perry had to call someone to bring another one. i came very close to having a panic attack/heart attack that night. eventually everything ended up going great. luther played first, then omar then dry feet. i didnt watch any of the opening bands at all really. i was busy collecting money and making sure the cats that lived at the house wouldn't get out (not so much fun). finally got to watch house boat though. they were great. they played a bunch of new stuff but it was just great to finally see them live. after the show i got to talk to mikey erg for like a very long time and he told me 1."he recognized me from lots of shows and seeing me arund the country" 2. why the ergs! really don't play shows and 3. that he felt "honored" and "stoked" that he got to play the terrordome. so all in all, a VERY good night. after everything was wrapped up me and lauren walked to my house and went to bed.
saturday morning we had to wake up early and go to richmond. we left around eleven in the morning. made really good time getting down there. went to jeff riddles horse farm first. was so great to see him and dookie kong. we hung out there for awhile, drank some beer and i generally pissed off a bunch of horses. after that we took jeff and went to this dumb bro bar called the starlite. ate expensive bad food and drank expensive shitty beer and got the phone number from out slutty waitress. then we went to the show and it was all around just a terrible terrible show. this si your life played first and were pretty tight but just a hardcore band. then some other touring band played and were pretty terrible. like very very bad. i only watched it to avoid the cold outside, cause we weren't allowed in the house. terrible show. then luther played to a much smaller crowd then the first two bands did. then hold tight played and were tight was well but still just a hardcoreish band and sounded like a good lifetime rip off. after that we packed up pretty quickly and drove jeff back to his farm and then we made a very long and tiresome/crappy ride home back to philly. got home around 5 thirty am and went straight to bed. slept pretty late sunday. after that i went over to laurens and watched tv with her and danielle and then we went over to ava house for leo's birthday. had a lot of fun there and got very drunk. probably to drunk. went home around 3 am. today i slept until about noon. hung out with lauren for awhile and then came home. i then hung out with dan for awhile and watched 30 Rock with him for awhile, well until he fell asleep, which he is still doing right next to me. lets see how this holiday season goes. Lighten Up! - Same Shirt, Different Day
