where the fuck is that?

BDx13 - 11-6-2009 at 01:44 PM

Fish Flat in Fishtown.
308 Belgrade Avenue
Zoom out on the map - it's not far from Johnny Brenda's on Girard and Frankford

Not sure if it's a proper venue or a house that has shows.

used to be a dance hall.
has a big ladder to jump off of into the people.
supposed to be kinda cool from what someone mentioned to me last weekend.

JawnDiablo - 11-6-2009 at 01:57 PM

can't go though.
too bad cuz i'd be up for checking it

M.Alki - 11-6-2009 at 01:59 PM

Fishtown is where Paddys Well is at right?!
I have some bizarre yet fond memories of that area!

gavin - 11-6-2009 at 02:06 PM

gotta work

ShawnRefuse - 11-6-2009 at 06:33 PM

I'll be there BD.

Good to meet you finally. Other than sleeping on a freezing cold floor, it was a great time.

BDx13 - 11-8-2009 at 11:43 PM

the venue was awfully punk rock, and my man jack and i definitely stood out as the biggest, oldest and cleanest people in attendance, but i still had a blast. good to meet everyone in Refuse Resist and Razors In The Night - the bands kept the mohawks in circle pit mode all night.

grabbed a couple beers at kung fu necktie after the show (beer peeps note i went with a pair of the stone smoked porter big bottles. delicious.) did you guys find the diner ok? i fucked up two steaks at tony luke's afterward. also delicious.

hope john made it home alive.
post up that photo if you get it from troy!

The diner was pretty cool. A bunch of trannies, that's always fun to watch. Squatter's life is not one for me though. Slept on the drum rug freezing.

We all got some kind of horrible cough and I was barely able to do the last show last night, but I gargled some whiskey and fought through it. All the shows were awesome, and the bands didn't kill each other by the end of the 4 days... Success.

Once we get some sleep for a few days I am sure I can get the pics from Troy.

It was great to meet you BD. Definitely had a great time on this little tour. Shawn, should have spent the night in the van with John and myself, it was just as cold as that floor, but at least it was a cushion.

3rdDistrict - 11-9-2009 at 02:35 PM

SO BUMMED i didnt make it out to baltimore
forgive me guys

ShawnRefuse - 11-9-2009 at 02:39 PM

No worries man, we got there late and pretty much jumped right in. It was a weird place and I think the kid there is the one who got the whole van sick ha.

It was a good time. I'll see if I can get pics of any of the shows.

3rdDistrict - 11-9-2009 at 02:40 PM

there was a show at the sidebar that night that i heard sold out. shook ones was the band. never heard them. no care.

ShawnRefuse - 11-10-2009 at 02:54 PM

Left to right:

Mike, Duane, Shawn, Troy, Ian, Jamie, John, Jack

Good times!!!!

ShawnRefuse - 11-10-2009 at 02:55 PM

a lot of "slimming" black going on in this pic. hahahhahaha.

XHonusWagnerX - 11-10-2009 at 04:19 PM

BD looks like 'the enforcer' of the group!

3rdDistrict - 11-11-2009 at 10:45 AM

how many members of RR can duane bench?

BDx13 - 11-11-2009 at 11:12 AM

bench press RR? maybe the little one. (sorry, john!)

i love refuse resist because like me, everyone wears glasses. don better get a pair if he doesn't yet.

this photo is awesome. aside from the slimming black, troy doesn't even look like he was meant to be in this photo. like, he was walking down the street, saw a bunch of people getting their picture taken and just stood between them and the camera. either that or he's got seven guys as a back up band for his new solo project and this is the glossy. love it.

BDx13 - 11-11-2009 at 11:13 AM

for those that haven't, check out Razors In The Night.
some of you will dig: http://www.myspace.com/razorsboston

Dude is like 5 feet tall so he has to stand in front to look bigger.
