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.
