OK, here's my scene report (i'm pissed)..

Got there around 9:30, grabbed a beer and chilled. Then people from bands I knew showed up. BTW: Thumbs down to the City of Victoria, there gunning for Logans to go under, and that's not fair. There's this Improving the City conference happening in the city, and it annoys me that Logans gets a heat score, over some moron flinging a full beer can at a cop vehicle, which happened to be passing/driving down Cook street at the time?!? But alas, I babble...

OK, so Ingrates start the set, they ROCKED!!! but I missed half the set, anyhow. Then Hoosgow take the stage, Ty in his prison uniform, and knocking back a shot of Tequila half way thru the set (BTW: Thx to whoever did that), funniest moment of the night, apparently the guitar amp hums, and it knocks whatever is on the speaker down to the floor, so kiss Ty's Sleemens goodbye, but that's a good thing cause Sleeman's SUCKS COCK!!! :), other then that, what can I say about their set, it rocked too. I still don't get why they haven't released a demo CD, cause there always good, not a disappointment here.

At this point, I was getting loaded, and running into a ton of people I haven't seen for awhile, hell even Jesus from the Dayglo's showed up. I was totally impresed, it was THAT good a turnout.

Next up... Mr. Plow, which I ignored, but I did buy a CD from him and it ROX!!!, nuff respect...

Last up, AWT!!! And man, these guys ROCKED!!! Such a fun set, even the pit was full. Needless to say, I'm always impressed.

BTW Jason, yeah that message, it's pathetic, but go figure... that msg was from the heart!!!

Anyhow, thumbs up, this gig ROCKED!!! - Fri, 21 Nov 2003 11:04pm

The show was great fun, good times, and overall serene happiness, but the line up to get in was retarded and discouraging.

Overall, my fun count would be an 8 out of ten. - Sat, 22 Nov 2003 7:16am

The show itself was dopeness, except for the fact that Victoria ppl are not the kind to move around a lot in front of the stage. I bumpped into a couple people and got yelled at for spilling their drinks... but regardless......"Plow or never!!" Good times indeed!! - Sat, 22 Nov 2003 9:14pm

Had a blast, drank a lot, hung with a lot of friends, watched Ty get just stupid drunk, nice to finally see the Ingrates been waiting for that one for a while. Mr. Plow always rules, so fuckin funny. The other two, well I play in them and we all had a blast on stage so I guess we did all right. All in all I think it was a great show, had a bunch of friends that couldnt get in cause of the lineup, so that sucked, but theres not much we could do about that. Fucking city has a stick up it's ass about some things. At least with the way the patio is now nobody will be throwing anything at cop cars anymore. I'd have to say thats probably for the best anyways. Anywho.... great show had a wicked time, it's sunday today, and that means that it actually is Tyler's birthday now, so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY FUCKER!!! - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 8:09am

Happy Birthday Ty!

I had such a great time at that show! Mr. Plow completely blew me away. His set was probably the best set that I have seen in a LONG time. Golden Shower Girls is a song that goes straight to my heart!

It's really too bad that we don't have a bigger venue to avoid problems like that line-up. I have never seen anything like that for a local show at Thursdays but I hope everyone had a good night regardless.

cheers. - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 10:24am

I want to thank everyone again for coming out on my behalf. Sorry to those who couldn't get in... The Shitty Of Victoria Bylaw Police really could be spending their time better than busting local businesses like Logan's for being successful.

Best birthday party EVER!!!!!

I was one of the unfortunates who arrived too late. Over 25 people were lined up outside by the time I arrived, so I quickly bailed. Too freaking cold to hang outside praying enough people would leave before all the bands had finished playing.

So Logans'...what are the chances of increasing your capacity any time soon? If I have to arrive by 9:00 to ensure I'll get in, I'm afraid I won't be stopping in there much anymore. :(

Hope you had a good B-Day Ty. - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 1:51pm

Yeah I also had to wait in the line up. On the good side about 10 - 15 people got sick of waiting and left so I got bumped to the front and got in after like 10 mins. That show was fun and did anyone notice the abundance of hotties there? - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 3:10pm

It seems strange, there's the back area (where the pool tables used to be) they could set a stage up in, which would greatly improve the max. capacity of Logan's, but apparently they have to re-apply to the City of Victoria to get the licence changed (has to do with dimensions of the establishment, or something odd like that). The smoking patio thing (only 20 people max) is another enigma, apparently the city wants it closed by 10 pm.

When I got there around 9:30 pm, it wasn't too full, I think it started filling up just after the first band started (just after 10pm). So that seems to be the best time to show up if ya wanna see bands. - Sun, 23 Nov 2003 4:37pm

Our capacity issue is a little fucked up right now, but we're getting things fixed. We are supposed to close the patio at ten, which is retarded, if only for the smokers. To get that rule changed we'd have to make an application to city council, much like we had to do to be able to stay open till one. It's a pain in the ass, and brings out a lot of freaks you don't know hate you, but do. - Mon, 24 Nov 2003 7:56am
