ok, so im pissed cuz i just spent like 20 minutes writing an email and then it didnt
go through because the network here sux and it wouldnt give me my text back. changed
computers and im off again, but itll prolly be shorter and not as good.
first off, i went to the weezer / no doubt show in may '97 at the gorge. it was
awesome because weezer tore it up, but i left the pit when no doubt came on stage (all
that coke she does just makes her a little too energetic for me, you know?). so that
was a good show and well worth the money! They came back (weezer that is) in July '97
too, that was a great show @ DV8. With Ridell High and someone else. oh yeah, and
they were there in nov '96 too, or maybe it was oct, i dunno, but i missed the show
cuz it sold out too fast, but they played that acoustic show in the cafeteria at
shorecrest hs, that was broadcast live on the end (kndd) that is on the good life
single and elsewhere. that was cool. so, weezer's been friendly to the NW, its too
bad they wont be there on July 4, but ill still be here in cali at the show in SF
watching weezer. everyone should go check out stunt monkey too, they're awesome.
good guys too.
ok, to the mouse. this isnt really about the mouse exactly, but yet another rant
about santa cruz. so i was back down there for a show tonite, and i was outraged.
for reasons you might not realize though. I went down for the stroke 9 show cuz ive
met them a few times and they're good guys, yet people were moshing to stroke 9, how
ridiculous... it got violent too, a circle, a fist fight. how can you mosh to them
yet not mosh to the mouse? i guess all those 15 year old girls are just more
rambunctious, cuz they all wanted to oggle the band. it was pretty bad. any how, ill
leav santa cruz alone until i see another show doen there, but who knows when that
will be, no good shows are linep up at this point.
and, now to all those folks in the bay area, heres a message for you...
on this Saturday, the 24th, theres another KSCU listeners appreciation party, and
since we seem to switch off indie, punk, indie, punk... its time for indie again. Its
at 6pm @ Channel One (763 The Alameda / SJ/ 408-280-1001) and the bands playing are
Creeper Lagoon, Fiver, The Contrail, Mates of State. and Bunkbed. and its FREE!!! so
go, itll be great. youll all be able to up your indie cred. and the last indie show
we had, bright eyes played, and they werent all that big then, so think of who you
might see here thatll blow up all big and whatnot. so, im done pluggin, adios.
