| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | What a venue this is going to be!!! Looking forward to playing at this place again. Thanks Scott for making it happen this time. The sound was good and the crowd was fuckin great! Gallows End opened up this all ages fiesta. Brentwood muthafuckas and Gallows regular crew were there creating mayhem in the mosh. You guys rip! No Dice got up there and....you guys are fuckin noisy!!!Energetic set. Witness Protection Program then took over and played a cranked up, hard spaztic Fugazi-ish type of set. Crowd loved these guys and I could see there were some people that had seen them before and were very pleased to have this last minute show dropped in there laps. Check these guys out for sure when the come back!!!! - Sun, 16 Feb 2003 2:40pm | ||
| Matt D. User Info... | Wicked show. The sound's decent, better than some of the all-ages venues. I hope things work out and they can get enough money to keep putting on shows there. Gallows End were really good, seen you guys three times now. I really like your song "Spirit Mocking Flesh" good stuff. No Dice were sloppy rhythmically but entertaining, I heard they got together recently, definite potential. I hadn't seen Witness Protection Program for quite some time and was pleasantly surprised. They're quite complex with time-changes and all, and have a very unique sound which I thoroughly enjoyed. Worth checking out next time they're around for sure. Good to be at an all-ages show for the first time in a while. Much thanks to Scott for arranging this gig in such a hurry, it worked out well. Hope to see more shows at the indoor park. - Sun, 16 Feb 2003 9:19pm | ||
| youngpunk | Ya..great show!! coulda been a few more kids in there though. I counted about 60, but i'm not very smart-so there coulda been more,just hangin outside. Awesome venue,if i had one little piece of constructive critasism, i would ditch the fluorescent lights to the left of the stage and get some fancy colored pot lights(i've seen shows where these were just old coffee tins with red/blue spotlights mounted inside) and mount them from the ceiling, otherwise it makes you feel like your watching bands play in your classroom....other than that i can't wait to see others play in this spot! sound was good and the bands really impressed me (i wish the metal band that opened had some back up vocals) otherwise they blew me away....and witness protection program...crap these guys were running and jumping all over the place ...even up the ramp on one side...well worth the five bucks i scammed from mom. - Sun, 16 Feb 2003 9:30pm | ||
| lily_liquor User Info... | Wow...i really enjoyed this show, haven't seen the WPP since 2000. they were good then but now...watch the fuck out!! their new drummer, alan, fucking rips!! he's only been with them for a few months but you'd never guess. ryan ran up the ramp my comrade and i were sittin on (while playing)to give us high-fives, only to knock my 'coffee' outta my hand...i'm so ashamed. check out http://www.teenagerampagerecords.com .. no dice were decent spazz-core. gallow's end, you're a much tighter team since the last time i saw you (i think that was your first show, though)...good stuff...keeping metal evil!! great venue...i like how you can hop up on the ramps and see the band clearly from anywhere...the sound was a bit echoey, but whadya expect from such a big room...too bad there weren't more people to absorb the noise...i hope the bands at least broke even on ferry expenses...all in all, rad show...i left smiling...thanx scott!! - Sun, 16 Feb 2003 11:52pm | ||

| Josh Nails User Info... | GReat show. The venue was rad. Im looking forwards to seeing more shows there. Gallows End are better everytime I see them... Looking forward to that at the gates cover and buying some merch. NO Dice have a lot of potential, they are pretty new I think and I dug what they were doing. Witness Protection Program ripped shit up. - Mon, 17 Feb 2003 3:19pm | ||

| Gallow Drummer | Not that that show sucked or anything, but I have to start streching or running or skipping or some shit like that so that my muscles don't lock. Thanks to all spectators who came and to Scott. We had a sweet jam last night and our 2 new songs (numbers 7&8), are so close to done. Won't tell you guys the names of them yeat but I'll tell you this..................................................................THEY FUCKING RULE!!! - Mon, 17 Feb 2003 4:04pm | ||

| tony hawk | hey I was just wondering what people thought of the new indoor skate park. (I saw the all ager there the other day and was quite impressed with it.) But apart from it being a cool venue for shows, how is it for skating? do they draw a decent crowd? are people generally happy with the layout/design? Hope these guys can make a go of it...hey maybe they should open the back end to skaters while gigs are going on...ahh...maybe not. whatever - Tue, 18 Feb 2003 5:40am | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | Yes I hate to agree. there was a big band brawl after the show......Who would have known WPP knew Kung fu......Even my mastered tecnique of "bob, weave, and run" was useless against this attack. - Tue, 18 Feb 2003 10:15am | ||
| tooscaredtopostmyrealname | ya...more like kneel & bob, then leave and run.. - Tue, 18 Feb 2003 10:55am | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | More like tooembarrassedtopostyourrealname. That was weak.... - Tue, 18 Feb 2003 12:45pm | ||
