I Hate This started right on time at 7:30 which made the whole thing work out really well. I don't think I ever said anything to anyone in the band, and they left without talking to me or josh, so hopefully they talked to someone to let them know they were going to leave before anyone else played
obstruction played alright. I still can't stand up correctly, so I was balancing on one leg, propped behind the pa monitor, praying that no one moshed me over. yes, moshed me over.
One of the best shows all summer at lunchbox was the Mammoth Grinder show, so when they got added to the lineup for last night I was pretty excited. The fact that the only comparison anyone seemed to be able to pull up all night was coliseum was kind of disappointing, but I thought they played harder and faster than anyone else.
After Mammoth Grinder played Seasick threw their stuff up and played a set that was way too short, with guitar solos that were way too good to be jammed into such a short set. I've spent a bunch of time trying to convince people to go see seasick, because frankly, I don't think the recorded stuff is that great; but they just blew the door open last night. They seemed to be just as good as a 4 piece as they were as a 5 piece and they managed to be my favorite band of the night. oops.

The end of bash thing started last year when coke bust needed a show on their way back from this is for you fest, and it snowballed into this giant show with too many people and too many bands and was kind of a successful disaster. This year when coke bust asked for a show again on the same date, we said yes and booked the show around them.
Show ended up being a blast, now I'm going to go try to sleep some more because it's new years eve and mammoth grinder were here until way late keeping us all up waiting for the cable channels to disappear.
