I love hardcore but that seems lame.

Just to make sure everything is understood, nobody in BloodMoney was/is upset with you in anyway. We invited you out to take pictures, hang out, and have a good time, its extremely unfortunate that things didn't go that way. If any of us seemed to be upset with you, it was more then likely do to the fact that fighting had occured during our set (no matter how it started and who started it). We all as a band become extremely discouraged when our music turns into the soundtrack to violence (like the Civ song). When the "incident" occured, the first thing I saw, as well as Mike was an out of towner who had been causing problems the entire night, our anger was toward him. That whole situation is history though, it sucks that it happened but its over. The scene has changed a lot, hell I've been going to shows for about 5 years and its changed a lot in that amount of time. Violence has become a trend, and its difficult not to become jaded. Once again, thank you very much for taking time out to come take pictures, we really appreciate it. I

Huggie-
Thanks so much comment. I did have an awesome time besides the 5 to 10 minute span that the mishap took out of the night. I hate to be so repeditive with my apoligies but I'm just upset with myself. I go on and on about how fighting, violence, and hate has no home in hardcore, then my actions reflected the exact emotions that I'm against. Moreover I upset that it happened while you guys played. I can't tell you how excitied I am to see/hear a true hardcore band and to have it be made up of kids who came from the same scene I remember.
I have my own opinion of how things were and how things are, as well as how things should be, but I shouldn't be so bigheaded to think my opinion is all that matters.
Anyway, it was a shitty thing to have happened, and it's shitty that I was part of it. I look forward to hearing more XBxMX.

Dude, i'm glad you came out and i'm glad you liked it. I understand why you were mad because we came into punk rock and hardcore at the same time. Things are shitty now, but its my memories that keep me coming back. I was here the whole time to watch Lancaster change, and you were not. If i were in your shoes, I would have acted the same way. I appreciate you coming out and taking pictures.
When I hit kids (its a very rare occasion, always by accident) I still apologize. Hardcore isn't supposed to be fighting a war against other kids who like music. Its supposed to be fun for everyone. I don't understand how people can feel good about hurting other people. I know I don't. If I hit someone, I try to make it up to them, cuz no one desrves to have their night ruined cuz some douche needs to prove how big his dick is.
I've been a fan of the Fritz family for years. Something this dumb isn't gonna change that. <3

If you're reading this Hank, you probably already noticed the latest entry. Whether you read it or not, it stemmed from our conversation. Thanks for hanging out dude, I always get something out of a good discussion with you.
