Did you have a good weekend? Me too! Nursing a sick friend is always it's own reward. ;-) Plus the drunken Hookers trying to get back to Boulder Highway are always fun to see.

The Show Review for Day 1 of the Shake Down, featuring the Zeros and the Rip Offs and the Lords Of Altamont, is up and live, so click here to give it a read if you're so inclined. It's not as good as what Laura Davis wrote, but then again, I ain't no 'Professional Journalist', so yeah... hee hee hee. Day 2 Show Review is right around the corner. I just gotta get all the Pictures done. The Flexx Bronco photos are done as you can see, leaving only the Dragons ones to finish. Oh, and the Clorox Girls. They were so rad. I'm gonna post up those 2 songs I recorded by them soon. This video of the Rip Offs in action from that weekend just makes me smile. All the videos I've seen on YouTube for the gig are all shot at the beginning, before cameras got damaged and soaked with flying liquids, nothing from the end. Fucking pussies. Shane White spit a mouthful of vodka all over me and my camera, and I didn't even blink... hahaha
Yeah, things are going good on every front imaginable. Hello to all the Perpetrators and the Haters who still read this website and then pass along what's written on here in a personally biased and slanted view. It's great that you people waste so much time on me - I'm flattered, really, but come on - don't you have anything better to do? Oh, that's right, you don't. I forgot, sorry. Well, I got lots and lots of better things to do, like enjoy the absolutely gorgeous weather we've been having here in Vegas, and having fun. TheCore and The Anchor are playing @ the Divebar tonight, but I won't be there. You should be though. Both bands are great, but it's just a shame that it's happening at such a shitty, shitty place. ::sigh:: Everything's updated! See ya at the Gigs. :-)

Betting On Tomorrow is unfortunately, not playing...

OK, I'm coming out of the coma that the Shake Down put me into, and looking back on the Pictures I took and listening to the Recordings I made and suffering through the bumps and the bruises and the black eyes I received, I can honestly say that it was all worth it. Shame a few of you out there missed it, or only bothered to show up on the last day, when everything was winding out, and people were more about Recovering than Rocking. If I hear one more person referring to the Shake Down as a Rockabilly event I may puke. Yeah, some ghey ass Rockabilly bands played, and that fact was definitely more advertised in the papers and the websites more than anything else, but still, Punk Bands ruled the land. Did you see the Humpers? Fucking life affirming. The Clorox Girls? Mind blowing. The Rip Offs? Historical. The Dragons? Rocking like fuck. The Zodiac Killers? Face melting. Add to that the Mau Maus and Flexx Bronco and the Bourbon Saints and you got an ass kicking infusion of Punk Rock and Roll of the highest accord. I mean, look, it's days later and I'm still raving about it. This shit was great! It couldn't of been more fun. A lot of Local faces were definitely missing though. Like Hank. Hank, I hate you. :-)

This weekend has Unfair Fight playing @ the LVCS, a gig that NJ Pete promises will be a sloppy, mistake filled fun time! LOL Sic Waiting and End Reverse are playing too, so come on out Saturday night and count Pete's mistakes. The Over-Under is 10. ;-) Dead Lazlo's Place are playing at the Double Down Sat., and of course, the Ataris @ the Cheyenne Saloon is gonna be pretty fun that night too. Holding On To Sound and Battle Born are @ the Bunkhouse Saturday night as well, so choose wisely. Why are all the gigs happening on Saturday night? Bad planning or what?

Everything is updated. The Squeeze / Beat / Skooners Show Review is up and running, and you can click here to read it if you're so inclined. The 1/2 Ast photos from the LVCS are up, as well as the Black Jetts @ the Brass Lounge pictures too. I saw that Roy found them already, as he shared them on the bands Facebook page, giving me and 'Shitty Bob' credit for them... hee hee hee I wish it would rain already. The humidity is reminding me of FLA., and I'm missing that 'I'm in Miami, BITCH' mentality. Pretty Lady, come and save me! :-)
