The show date is determined by when the bands are on tour. The US bands are playing Vancouver on the 16th and Portland on the 18th. The venue is also incredibly expensive on weekends, and if it weren't for the low rates for Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, this show wouldn't have been happening at all.
The show will be over by 10:30, plenty of time to get home and get your shut-eye. - Sun, 2 Oct 2005 1:25pm

Touring bands have to play every day. Do you think they just play shows Friday and Saturday nights then sit around all week with their thumbs up their asses? DOI!!!!! - Mon, 3 Oct 2005 1:30pm

The show went really well, with the minor exceptions of dealing with a few rowdies at the door and the vomit in the girls' washroom (this seems to be a trend when I put on shows downtown), oh and the girl passing out and then leaving right before the paramedics showed up. Surprisingly without incident considering the police showed up to do a cordial walkthrough and the ambulance coming around for that dozey girl. ha ha
I paid both out of town bands well and even the locals got paid something. I'd really like this venue to continue to be viable for weekday shows (it's fairly inexpensive for Monday-Wednesday).
Also left behind and not claimed by the out of town bands were a power cord for an amp, a mic stand, and the round seat for a drummer's stool. - Tue, 18 Oct 2005 11:31am

Thanks Brian for putting us on this bill. Good mix of bands and we had a great time despite almost breaking a nail with my lone drunk heckler. Thats alot of booze in a little teenage body to stand angry in front of a combined 500lbs Eazy - Paulverizer Samich. haha. We were feelin pretty tight after finishing recording our demo the day before. Great venue too. Dont fuck it up folks!!! - Tue, 18 Oct 2005 12:24pm

So I talked to the venue director/owner guy, he said everything was cool, so luckily there was no actual damage to the venue. Unfortunately though unless someone wants to only do a Monday show, all the other days of the week are booked by Atomic Vaudeville and Salsa Dancing.
Oddly enough it turns out I'm one of the few people who's ever done a succesful (ie breaking even) music show there. Woohoo for scene unity!
PS. No one has claimed any of the stuff left behind! A mic stand, power cord and drummer stool's seat! - Tue, 18 Oct 2005 5:08pm

The guy that was spouting his mouth off at Easy A was fuckin' retarded. Definately not my highlights of the night, and definately a reason why I only stayed for Friday Night Murder and AWT. Both bands have up-ed their game since the last time I saw them and it was definately a fun way of spending my monday night.

Cheers to Brian for putting on another good show. - Tue, 18 Oct 2005 9:23pm

The show went really well. Friday Night Murder sounded really good! The eyepatch guy incident was very funny. I am glad that he didn't throw a tantrum and fuck the venue up. I was glad to see such a mix of kids! More people being comfortable going to hardcore shows means more money for the bands and venue. That is a bonus of putting punk and metal bands on a hardcore bill.

Lose None and In The Crosshairs were great! The pit was fun! Good memories. Like Hunter said, one of the guys had his own large distro of LPs and 7s, I picked up a couple. Cool stuff.

The venue is so awesome. It sucks that it's only available on Mondays. Well, we could show up to the salsa dancing and dance salsa against the invisible ninjas. Seriously though, a huge venue with good sound, a stage, couches, a bar, a smoking patio, a coat check, nice washrooms... what more could you ask for?

I will be doing a review for the zine REK, largely because the last time a hardcore show was reviewed it was from the perspective of someone who is not used to attending hardcore shows; I want to set things straight.

Pictures are expected to be uploaded on xtylerx.tk sometime in early 2008. - Wed, 19 Oct 2005 12:22am

yeah, I noticed there is now a banner ad at the front of my page. I can't help it, this is the price I pay for a conveniently short url. but if you really...want to make friends.. on the internet.. then it's a worthwhile ad? ahahaha.

yah. its sort of funny that because schools out and the kids had no where to be the next day, their parents let them stay out late that night. Where the fuck did clowney-mcclownpants and the rest of the lost boys come from anyways? i havent even seen them infront of chapters yet.
The show was rad. it kind of sucks every time there's a bill with hardcore bands and punk bands, there always seems to be some sort of clash with the kids and a lost respect for each others music and shit. - Thu, 20 Oct 2005 9:53am

I don't care how anybody is dressed or what "group" they want to fit themselves into, all I care about is when some fool threatens my friends, tries to start fights, or trashes the venue.

Bwahahahahah ya purse boy was an idiot in the biggest of ways. fuck he would of died at a punk show fifteen years ago. I hate that people like that make punks look like idiots. While I do understand that it is fairly easy for punks and hardcore kids to not necessarily see eye to eye on everything you gotta know that guy aint a punk in anyones books. Take a page from me and Tony goluza's book. I ask him if he wants to go for a drink. He tell's me he would love to play in the reformed alcoholic white trash. Then we laugh and cuddle..... - Sun, 23 Oct 2005 2:25pm
