for the Starkweather set... priceless.
Thanks to everyone for a great fucking night. It was worth every penny.

It was hell getting there time and moneywise, but I'd do it again.
I had so much fucking fun.
It was great meeting you guys.

Hey Big Duane, Sorry if I was a cock on Friday but man, that city brings out the worst in me. I had a nice time talking to you but I wish I met up
with some of the Thorper's that night. Show nights are weird for me to begin with but a Philly show night makes me fucking mental. Thanks to anyone
that stayed to see us play and sorry for the equipment failures.

That was the reoccuring question of the night "I know he said he was anti social but I want to meet that goon". I think we missed your last song
though because moron and I had to catch the 1:40 am bus back to nyc.
Seriously though Starkweather and The Bad Vibes slayed. Their sets were intense.
It was good throwing back the beers and chatting up a storm with you guys.

duane
i found your camera battery
BDx13 - 11-21-2005 at 03:54 AM
no shit?! i thought for sure that thing was gone.
so i guess kyle and chris got the 1:40 bus ok. i went outside to give 'em directions on how to get to the station when we realized they still had
stuff in my car. of course, that was like seven blocks away, so from there i just walked them over to the bus.
by then it wasgoing on 2 and i was freezing and blind. i decided that by the time i walked back down to the club, the place would be closed, and
there would be no one left to say goodbye to. and there was no way i was driving in that part of town without my glasses! they were bent to fuck and
one lense was missing. so on the drive back to my inlaws in west chester, i kept em on on the tip of my nose and went back and forth from the land of
blury obsticles to the ol' one eye squinter when i needed to read a street sign. it wasn;t as bad as i expected, but there was no way i was driving
back to brooklyn without em, so i bought a new pair the next day. good thing lassiter didnt charge me to get in, i needed every dime i could find!
like i said, totally worth it though. the best part was the bad vibes bass player (?) exiting the stage and the club and playing half of a song from
the sidewalk as dozens of well-dressed socialites scampered from bar to bar.

all i know is that there's video footage of both sets. what i don't know is who to talk to to get a dvd copy!
MBV - i'm fairly certain that my photos came out like crap, but i think there was someone else there shooting. if you get any decent photos, send 'em
over, and i'll get 'em up on the site. we could put a video clip up as well if we could get it. lemme know.

i dunno why philly would make you mental
maybe its cause im mental anyway and its really all ive ever known

doyles onstage antics are cool
thanx again Geoff for the goods

KyleOz - 11-21-2005 at 09:27 AM
Yeah Geoff thanks for the merch, that was super generous of you. I hope you enjoy those records.
moron - 11-21-2005 at 12:46 PM
I had a good time as well. I wish we could have stayed longer, but as it was we just made the last bus back to NYC that night. I definitely have to
thank you, Geoff, for the free shit. I really didnt expect that, and I'll get you back somehow.
JawnDiablo - 11-21-2005 at 01:10 PM
the bad vibes need to play there once a month so i have something cool to do once in awhile with this boring life i lead....
gavin - 11-21-2005 at 06:15 PM
