->MIKE<- ya im up late and bored so i might as well do something useful. how bout a sum up how the GOR ska show went, sounds good? alright.

well after every1 got inside, the black eye jacks opened. they were pretty good, crowd took a few mins to get into it tho. but then their set was over cuz they ran out of songs? watever.

then the hoochy girls played. and it was basically like a ska orgy. everyone loved em (like always). and ya they basically fuckin rocked. they had a long ass set and after they were done everyone left for about 15mins to cool down outside.

ya so next was los furios. which translates to the furios. tough one i know. they were also fuckin awesome. whatever the hell it was called but that song about how the radio sucks, rocked. hate to break it to ya, but a few friends and i left early. so i didnt catch the finale. but i assume awesomness based on how the show went.

los furios is a vancouver based band so they dont play here that often. but u should definately check em out whenever they show up again. and black eye jakcs and hoochy girls, well theyre all over the place around victoria. hope u all loved it. later. - Sun, 13 Oct 2002 3:06am

A great show and a great turnout. All the bands played extremely well for the 200+ people that showed up. No shit happened and everyone had a good time! Ska's not dead, that's proof. - Sun, 13 Oct 2002 4:18pm
nannyGwing Well last night was awesome!!!! Black eye jack was awesome, but it wasn't really there crwod. Hoochy girls were fun! There bass player is soooooo hot, I wanna have his babies. I also love Crispy, I heard he's hung like a horse. Anyways....the furios were soooooo awesome it hurt. They are the best ska band on the main land by far. I love Pedro, he's one funny mo-fo. All in all one hell of a show!!!!! - Sun, 13 Oct 2002 8:18pm
Carl too late that show:

hoochy girls played the best show ive ever seen em play, not nesserarilly showsmanship wise, but they sounded rad...

los furios, amazing, very cool band, sweet unique sound...

not that i cared, and i know it makes money.... but could there have been anymore twinky poser, avril lavigne wanna-bee's there.... ugh.. i know they'll move on to some other "new big thing" eventually... so it didnt bother me, so aslong as you can make money off of them, more power too ya.... anywho, still a rad show!! - Sun, 13 Oct 2002 9:23pm
