Hey... is it safe to come out? Are the touristy dooshbag Punks gone yet? Are the Locals who support that farce not fatter and older and more content in their 'Punkiness'? LOL I certainly hope so. Seeing all the videos and photos of the event just go to certify what a snooze fest that thing was, for those of us on the outside who didn't drink the Kool-Aid like all the rest of you fools. Hank shared a post this morning that was so dead spot on that I have to repost it, even if it's just to show that someone else gets it, that someone else sees things for what they are. Click on the following link to read what I'm talking about. Dan Ozzi, fellow Punk Rock curmudgeon, I salute you! XOXO Punk Rock Bowling Is The Warped Tour For Lame Old Fucks Gawd, vindication feels great, especially after hearing everyone's BS justification of their attending of the event. For the shoddy way they treat Local bands, Punk Rock Posing should be run out of town on the rails, but instead, the Local bands fawn and gush over what an Honor it is to be a part of it, even if it means playing for 20 minutes to an empty parking lot in the middle of the afternoon to a bunch of sheep queuing up to get a good position to view whatever Punk rock cover band is limping it's way through a set of songs they've long forgotten the meaning behind, and that they can barely play with the speed of youthful exuberance they used to, or with the power in which they originally recorded their hit musical opus back in the day. Le sigh. And the way Squid Hat Records was crowing about 'dominating' the festival this past weekend left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I got news for you guys over there at that label - you didn't Dominate, what you did was Perpetrate. Big difference.
And speaking of perpetrating, whatever happened to bands working for what they wanted? When did virtual begging become the raison d'être for lazy bands who don't wanna do their part to further their 'career'? If it's not 'buy us a tour van', it's 'help us record our album', and now, it's 'help send us to Japan'... WTF? Yeah, hugely disappointed by the Dirty Panties whoring themselves out on the Interwebz to pay for their trip to Japan. Click here to check it out, and if you got some cash you have with nothing better to do with it, then support them and buy something or donate or whatever. The Black Jetts went to Japan twice on their own dime. I don't know why the Dirty Panties can't do the same. Everything's updated. The Seriouslys @ the Double Clown tomorrow night, with Agent 86 and a few others. Sat. if you're not at the Doom In June fest checking out Demon Lung playing songs from their amazing upcoming release The Hundredth Name (click here to read my Review of it), go to the Poker's Tattoo Party with Unfair Fight, Mersa, and No One Listens, whoever they are. A skate ramp is being provided by Blue Tile Lounge, naturally, and BBQ and Booze and BJ's will be given out for free around there somewhere, guaranteed. Later that night Authority Zero and Shotguns N Gasoline are playing at the Time Out Sports Lounge, which used to be known as Jimmy Murphy's (I think) when they were having gigs there back in the day. Might be interesting. Aluminum Falcon is playing with TheCore @ The Dive on Weds. night. I know, right? LOL Is it me or has this month seemed to drag on forever? Come on June. I'm so sick of May... heh heh See ya around somewhere... hopefully by the BBQ grill or poolside. ;-)

I don't think that's the reason, but maybe? I think the fact that the band crows about having fans over there, and a website devoted to them, is the most funniest thing ever, especially considering how creepy the Orientals are about chicks in bands - the Runaways anyone? ;-)

my favorite part of Punk Rock Bowling is when everyone is offended and writes a bunch of nasty shit about how thew want to shove a plunger up your butt. Sure, I don't want you to be a part of Guilaani time, but I would be a liar if I didn't admit to beating off to the nasty comments, then proceeding to lap up the cum from my hand... Is it it just me or is my sperm rather salty for an old duffer on a low sodium diet?

I certainly respect your opinion and your comments regarding our PRB press campaign and the Dirty Panties IndieGogo program. For what it's worth, I'd like to address your issues - not to change any minds - but to add perspective. First, "the dominate PRB" press release was a national release. As you are aware, in the sea of white noise that passes for news these days you need to be a little louder and say something in the headlines that at least gets someone to read it. Whether you like or dislike PRB is irrelevant, we had the opportunity to let a larger audience know that there is something going on here and it took a brash headline to to do it. I can see where it might have rubbed you the wrong way but I certainly don't apologize for it. We are doing what we can to get our bands heard. Maybe PRB is contrived. Maybe it's intentions are misguided, but it's here and it exists and if we can use it to promote our scene the way they use Vegas to hold their festival then, fuck it. We should infect it in every way that they'll let us.
