smokes up dustbraska
here's a recap:
we left mid afternoonish on saturday april 9th for the long haul up I-87. eric broke the seal pretty early in the journey so we all stopped for a pee break and celebatory roy rogers at one of the rest stops. as soon as we got to albany we were greeted by the birthday boy and girl themselves, mike and monika. ant booze and co. killed the 30 rack on the ride up so i made them buy another one. we cleaned up the basement for the show and then headed to the pub for some more food and beverages.
after that it was time to set up our instruments. we played probably our sloppiest sober set in a while but who cares? NOW IT WAS TIME TO PARTY! we chugged some beers and decided to get 'mystical' that night thanks to a purchase earlier in the day. the marine electric killed it as usual. i love those dudes. fumblerooski and half hearted were awesome as well. then it came down to caleb lionheart who absolutely destroyed that basement with their sexyness. by that time there was a thick haze in the air from all the dust that had gotten kicked up. needless to say it was getting hard to breathe.
once the show was over we headed back inside for some more brew-has and card games. 5 card poker and an intense game of go fish were played. now that there were no more beers and my lock-jaw was wearing off we decided it was time to retire to the van. we had a few drunken sing-alongs to the bee gees, got irie, and called it a night.
the next morning was a sweaty wake up. we gotta remember to open the windows at night. once everyone was awake we took a journey around the area. found a sick skate spot and took some photos. then we went to the bbq spot around the corner we had been smelling since the night before. pulled pork sandwiches bay-bay!
now it was time to say our good byes and visit our friends tara and mark who lived only ten minutes away. they cooked us more food and coffee and we pieced together the parts of the night that got lost in inebriation. we got funny over some ganja plant and played zombie video games. now it was time to hit the road back home. said thanks to our gracious hosts and we were on our way. we all had way too much fun for our own good and cant wait to be back in albany!
got some shows coming up next week!

ponytail booze
we had all sorts of unhealthy fun on our weekend trip to philly. shouts to no service project and our new friends, and to the homeys that came along in the van with us.everyone who came out to the meatlocker and bought a shirt is fucking rad!
MUSTACHIOED ASSASSINS UNITE!
this is what i remember:
we left for philly in the late afternoon after we woke up from the hangover that friday night gave us. once we arrived, we were greeted by joe's culinary expertise, a stir fry dish that was absolutely incredible. we hung out for a bit, indulged in a few cervezas and then made the journey to the house show on syndenham. i still cant pronounce the name of that street. drank. danced. sang our songs. did someone else's laundry. ya know, the usual. stumbled to the van and somehow made it home with minimal damage to only one mans toyota due to a faulty parallel park job. i remember being so stoked on eating the box of ellios pizza and curly fries we had in the van but by the time it was done cooking i was already nestled in the coziest spot on the couch. oh, well.
woke up the next morning to joe slaving away in the kitchen again, making omlettes for everyone. we recalled stories from the night prior while playing goldeneye and nba hang time on N64. after that it was cheesesteaks from ishkibibbles and a look around an abandoned warehouse we found. from there we made our way to the danger danger house for the black kites/algernon show. i never been to that space before so i was pumped. we all had a blast. black kites is fucking gnarly! after the show, we stopped by a party at kayla's house for a bit. sobered up by playing beer pong and drinking henney before the long drive home. no journey on the new jersey turnpike is complete without a stop at roy rogers, naturally. by the time we got there they had no more gold rushes left so i settled with the breakfast sandwich with extra toppins on the side. couldn't have asked for a better end to an epic weekend.
if you ain't got shit to do this weekend, go to the GENERIC INSIGHT RADIO FEST at the party expo in bushwick. there are some rad bands playing and our friend barrie is running it.
and after the first day of GIR FEST(friday night) come party with us at emerald city along with the most handsomest band around - the marine electric! were doing a split set at their house so expect some crazy shit to go down.
we're also super stoked to be playing in albany with living room and other awesome bands saturday, april 2nd. gonna try and make that into another weekend thing ill get at you when i get more details. until then, stop slackin' and take more prison-style photos.

"how are they still a band??"
dayumm its been a long time since we wrote one of these things. alot has been happenin' since the last post. in a nutshell, we played a bunch of shows and ate unhealthy amounts pizza and gummy bears while taking knife hits off the kitchen stove. oh yeah, and we like to dress up as naughty sailor girls for nautical themed parties sometimes.
