Shows,magical bus journey, and racoons. alot of pictures.
Saturday night, I went to gilman with foffle to see the show, it was pretty fun. I wore a pink shirt. I think it was opened by coldera, who is really good, low toned hardcore with melodic elements. I liked it. Then I think it was the ultimate event of a godstomper and machine gun romantics split set, which was cool. They both set up on the floor side by side, and one would play a song, then the other would. I was on the godstomper side, which sorta sucked that I wasn't in the middle so I could see both, but I got some pictures:
The drummer is fucking fast, his hands were like humming birds or something, like you could tell they were moving but looked like one shape.
Then I think dog assasin played in the store but it was crowded and foffle wanted a sandwhich from happy donuts. I got a crossiant and there was this fat hair sticking out of it which I tried pulling out but it was wedged in their pretty good. Gross.
Then we went back for scurvy dogs, and I guess they were cool, fast punk stuff. Then was born/dead and they were good as usual. Last was the almighty brain oil. I got a couple pictures of them too. They are redicously good live.
The next day, after waking up(thanks to greg), I take the bus to santa cruz, and wait for said greg. We then walked across the street(s) to street light which is like the best record store ever. Way better then the san jose one too. I got the I accuse! ep, because I never followed through on getting it and I didn't get it for xmas. Then from street light we just walked around...got pizza...walked...finally when to the show when it was near time and sat around for a while. It started, with this band I got a demo for at the slaughterhouse which are a bunch of kids who play like really fast punk with either hard to understand or some mexican lyrics. I wasn't feeling it that much, but they did not suck and they covered los crudos. Then was dog assasin, from reno,political fast punk, good stuff, took pics.
Im pretty passive taking pictures, I don't like moving around. Also, I used my digital cause I didn't wanna use film and it worked allright at gilman, but MANNNNNNNNN at the santa cruz show, I got fucked over so many times by my digital, where it would take a minute and a half to take a picture or sometimes wouldn't at all. Few were way blurry. So annoying, I had to be really lucky to get anything good. But uh, dog assasin pics:
Then coldera graced the stage again and I thought their set was so good. coldera:
then dun dun dun, MGR. I fucking love this band.
I have a few more but they aren't that good.
Then uzi suicide played, and was really good, less nudity then last time I saw them. I need to buy their records, I don't know why I haven't. I bought a tour shirt from MGR, and their split, and a coldera 7 and was out of money except for what I needed to take the bus(s) home. Next time...
there was total matress mosh chaos there, as there always is when you throw in cushions at a show, which has happened a few times at gilman or other shows, this time was no different...haha the MGR and coldera singers tried to kick ass but really after the song started they fell pretty quickly haha.
dogpile
Afterward I asked the uzi suicide singer how to get shows at 418...I fellt arogant for some reason. I hope I didn't come off that way. Oh well.
I had a lot of fun, and then we went back to campus. On the bus there there was girls who had that OMGZZZZZ voice, and talking about getting drunk and shit. Jesus christ. We ate...went back to his room...went on myspace and gossiped cause were fucking dumb. Then went walking...went to a lounge..watched mtv...walked..we saw a racoon! I love racoons.
Then I took artistic shots.
