You know it's a good Birthday when you get so wasted that you have to leave your own Birthday party because you're too drunk to party! hahahaha Yeah, Mel's B-Day @ the Bunkhouse this past Sat. was a fucking blast! Six Shooters To The Sky killed it, Stereohigh fucking played for about an hour and a half too long, and the Vegascendents thrashed our way through an almost impressive set. New songs were played, and old songs were forgotten - it was great! LOL And Kudos! to whoever kept screaming at me to get naked... LOL It was a ruff ride for me after what I had been through at Reggae In The Desert earlier that day though. Wowsers. Drinking in the bright sunshine sure is draining! First off, anyone who tells you that the Indians don't rule the front stage area of Reggae In The Desert is a bald faced liar! LOL It's getting so bad now that we all are starting to remember each others names. ;-) And how they're able to get full bottles of booze into the place undetected is beyond me - hahaha The searches this year were terrible - I almost didn't get all of my drugs in! LOL And, they served Guinness there this year! Woo Hoo! It was Heavenly! And the Music, oh the Music was glorious! Don Carlos was incredible, and Mykal Rose just fucking killed it, leading the crowd in a hair raising version of Natty Dreadlocks that was just awesome to see and hear. And Freddie McGregor, the King of Lover's Rock, just OWNED the place with a waaaaaay too short set of hits including Bobby Babylon, Just Don't Want To Be Lonely, Big Ship, Africa and If You Want To Go. He even did a few of his Brother Dennis Brown's songs mid-set, which was just sick as fuck. Ending the night with a couple of old school Ska songs, which had him High Steppin' and Skanking and out-dancing guys in his band who were 30 years younger than him! hahaha It was great to see. I tried to dance but my back and legs weren't having it... LOL Reggae In The Desert 2011 was the shit! Rastafari! Praise Jah! King of Kings! Lord of Lords! Lion of Judah! hahaha That was for Jeremy, because he loves that stuff. :-) Deadhand are my new favorite band. Seriously. They're fucking incredible. <3 I saw a tiny bit of video, heard some glowing reports from a few people who's musical opinion I value, and I used to share a rehearsal space with them, so I know about what I speak of! LOL Congrats on a spectacular CD release show. I fucking wish I could of been there. :-( Everything's updated. Butthole Surfers are coming to town. Go to the Gig Calendar page to read all about it. While uploading the videos I took this weekend, I found this S.F.T. video I never posted before, so I thought I would leave you with that. It was taken last month @ the Divebar, and I think the song is called D.U.I., but I'm not sure. Enjoy!

I forgot most of what I wanted to say. I thought I had posted about it earlier in the week, but when I realized I didn't, I just let it go. Something about Drama, the Hurricane wrecking the Mighty Diamonds gig, or Hank being a fag. Oh well. I'm sure it was shit. Per usual. ;-)
She told me about Gutterballs, and I wish that she hadn't, although watching a Tranny get face fucked with a bowling pin was interesting, to say the least. LOL Check it out if your a fan of Grade Z horror flicks. So let's talk about the weekend, shall we? In typical Vegas fashion there's tons of things going on this weekend, leaving you to either plan accordingly or just pick one place to go and blow it up. I mean, you got Reggae In The Desert with Freddie McGregor (who I last saw @ the Huntridge back in 1993), the Deadhand CD release party @ the Divebar, Mel's Birthday Party with the Vegascendents @ the Bunkhouse on Saturday, the Turbo A.C.'s @ Meatheads, Dead Neon's playing on Friday, and there's some other shit going on that I can't remember right now. Check out the Gig Calendar page for all the latest. It's a gorgeous day outside. I think I'm gonna make some cookies and go on an adventure. See you at the gigs. Hey! It's Friday! Lots of stuff going on this weekend, like that Holding On To Sound gig happening @ the Gypsy Den tonight. They're going to play their first album in it's entirety, but since I don't have it, I can't tell you if that's a good thing or not! LOL I'm sure it will be pretty cool. TheCore are opening. I love those guys. If that's not your cup of tea, then you can head over to Talk Of The Town to see the Seriouslys and the Fremonts play in the parking lot there. Tell Treasure and Troy that I said Hi! <3 And for some cool Thomas Miller comic book artwork, head over to Jason from the Mapes new comic book store called Hellpop Comic Studios, located in the Arts Factory. Suite 222. Bring him booze and/or narcotics please. :-)
Saturday it's all about the Mighty Diamonds and Haleamano @ the Silverton. Yeah!! Pass The Koutchie! Afterwards if I'm not too out of it I'm gonna head over to the Beauty Bar to see KRS-ONE spit wicked hot fire. It's not very Punk Rock, I know, but if you wanna get your Punk Rocked and Rolled, then head over to see the Black Jetts rip shit up at the Double Down. Yup! Everything's updated. Have a great weekend. I know I will. :-) So much for laying around and doing nothing. Tyson reminded me that I have some video stuff to post up, so here it is. Vegascendents Punk Rock Bowling 2011. Brad shot all 4 of them, because he's cool like that, and we love him for it. <3 The first one is Hurtin' Crue, played a bit faster than usual. Stupid drummers, I swear. And then there's Silly Girl, which everyone loves and always dances around to when it's played. Awwwww! Isn't that the cutest thing EVER! hahaha And then there's this one, Coolidge, which everyone REALLY loves. And here's the last one, Good Good Things, which I think you kind of gotta be a real fan of the Descendents to be into, I dunno. I don't think it's considered one of their better songs, but I love it. And there you have it. Yeah, it was a fun gig and I can't express properly what a great night it was. People were jumping around, slamming around, singing along, just having fun and stuff, it was great to watch. And that chick that did the intro to Suburban Home was just perfect! hahahaha Again, Thanks to Brad for taping this shit. Without it, you'd be unable to see what a fun time you missed out on. :-)
