a little late, but still reminiscing!
HIGHS: a lot of great great sets! quite a bite of shite too, but didn't pay much attention. Chronologically, these were my faves...Jeff & the Brotherhood at the Longbranch, Thursday day at Beerland Mickey & Shannon & the Clams, over at the Grande Serious Tracers were good, that night at Trailer space Happy Birthday, Ty Segall, Barreracudas, and Barreracudas with Personal!! Whipping the chain! the Spits at Jaimies!!! the bridge show that night Home Blitz and Oh Sees, Friday day Trouble in Mind showcase was really good, Cococoma knocked me out, then every band after them was really good, started withTyler Jon Tyler, the Hollows, Ty, Fresh & Onlys, Charlie & the Moonhearts, Shite Wires, Hex Dispensers...totally unreal, perfect afternoon!!!!!! go TIMR!!!!!!! that night, Beerland knocked me out, I was kinda there, but too wasted to remember. I know I saw Davilla, Kid Congo, Cheap Time, the Spits, Wounded Lion...was fun. My hotel party had good promise, I gathered everybody I met on the way home, got back to the hotel at about 3, everybody in the room was asleep, hardly any beer, and the security guy was a dick. Whatever. Saturday Goner show was great! I loved Sector Zero. That was so entertaining! Ran around trying to catch So Cow. Caught the Blind SHake! Back to Beerland, caught Cococoma killin it! Trailer Space, finally found So Cow! Great set! 1808, watched some band I don't know who...but were pretty rad, then Barreracudas ripped it up righteously! Back to Trailer Space, Happy Birthday, and Brimstone Howl...LOVED it! Then to the ultimate fuckin classic house party! That night show fugged me up bad! BAD SPORTS!!!! so fuckin good!! Shannon and the Clams were great....Shite Wires were the shite-iest...I got WAY too fugged, playing Daniel's free flying V, fell over, knocked Allie's drum kit over. Played a 3 song set...1 of those songs got played 3 times. Then watched Audacity rule! Then caught a ride out with some friends, and that was the end of my story.
other highs included: first time in Texas, vagabond trunk riding in the taxi, great food, lots of great people, the Canadian contingent, getting a tablespoon of hot salsa in my eye, a new 45 for the WW's, rockers in the airport, leather pants.
LOWS: missing Terrible Twos, River City Tanlines, Predator, Earthmen, Digital Leather. Wednesday night show getting canned...also disappointed I missed the Bare Wires, and Harlan T Bobo.
Disappointments aside, the only shitty thing for me was getting gang banged by the fucking quadrouple connecting quadrouple airline shit show, and stranded in the DC airport for 18 hours on the way home.
