"I went to powerblock and I was like five minutes away from asking Colin if he wanted to go, but Rory comes in and asks him first. Holy shit! Same movie!" -Abomb's Blog (refering to Dogtown and the Z-boys)

well i dont really update this anymore... a few people have been saying "what's up with your 'blog'..." and well nothing thats the whole point. But it's late and I'm bored and not tired, so here goes...

Today was a half day. I went to colleens w/ cristin and colin, I was so hungry, we ordered from Mario's and it took forever. I nearly ate my forearm. When it finally did get there, I ate my soggy steak and cheese sub in delight (although i will never order from Marios again, ever).

I think I wanna go see "Dogtown and Z-Boys" Friday or whenever... so yeah that'd be sweet.

Current Mood: mmmmmop
Current Music: Piebald - "We Are The Only Friends We Have" = great cd

Saturday Ioanis, Soon, Shawn, and I were going to go to the show in Tewksbury, so we piled into the Toyota and we were off. Little did we know, the show would end up being canceled. When we got there Marcel (Preston) who booked the show was in the middle of an arguement with one of the head guys at the country club. Ends up that the Cpuntry Club thought that Marcel wanted the place for the night before and they had already booked it for that night, for a batchelor party i believe. Marcel was absolutely ripped and rightfully so. We went back outside and we waited around to talk to some people... after that we had no reason to be there so we were back on the road with no place to go.

At this point I cant even tell you where we went, we ended up going to literally 20 places including... we went to Cummings house and found that he was at the church for a spaggetti supper... cheap food we had to stop by. When we got there we saw Mike, James, Joey, Tim, Dan, Stafford... but unfortunately the food had already been put away : ( James wanted somthing from Dunkin Donuts so we said we would go and get it for him. When we got over there Soon went to Kitty's and we told him if he did we would leave... so we did just that. We went back to the church and put James drink down in the parking lot and as he walked out we drove away with his money, we came back around and did give his money back... but oh lord we forgot about Soon. So we jet back to Kittys and Soon is walking up the street.

Now we head all around town until we get to Douty's house finally. Douty and Jill were there. We went downstairs to play some pool. Ioanis and Soon have a bright idea lets play strip pool... Ioanis ended up hitting the 8 ball in... end of story! We didnt know what to do next so we drove around this time with two cars full of goobish kids. We end up going all the way to Hollywood Hits and when we get there we decide there is nothing good and we dont even end up seeing anything.

We went over to Wendy's to eat. It was so funny... i cant even tell the stuff that happend. But in the end when we were leaving someone came up with the bright idea of Soon going up and ordering in Korean so Soon went up to do so. When he got up there he really didnt end up doing it but these two little kids on roller blades cut him in line. The kids end up saying some negative racial comments, so we all start saying stuff to them.. and this guy who was in line before them starts yelling at them too. Foolish little kids thought they were so tuff, they start saying stuff like "were from boston" "we rollerbladed here".... stop it.

crazy.

Current Mood: tired

The Dedication, The Hope Conspiracy, There Were Wires, Suicide File and Say Goodbye
Friday O'neil, Cummings and myself went to Worchester to witness the final dedication show ever, and boy was it ever worth it. When we got there at about 5:15 we got some pizza and then we went to wait outside because we thought the doors opened at 6:00 but we ended up waiting outside for almost 2 hours... we talked to a few kids outside, which is always cool at a hardcore show because all the kids are generally cool to each other (theres always the occasional asshole tho). Outside we just constantly made MotorHead jokes because they were playing downstairs at the sametime. When we first got there I heard them playing Triple H's Theme Music which was quite funny...

When we did get in at alittle past seven we were the first ones in... so we went upstairs to check out some merch and ditch our gear behind a speaker (hey, it worked). The first band was Say Goodbye, they were ok but didnt seem to be anything to special... Then we thought we were gonna see All Hell who I've never heard of but instead Suicide File played because All Hell couldn't make it. Suicide File was really good, I had heard of them but had never actually seen them before. Next up was There Were Wires, they were also real good and did get the crowd going, Suicide File did as well.

Then came The Hope Conspiracy and just as I expected they were really amazing. Everyone was dancing and diving... someone jumped on my head and my neck still kills from it. During the set I also mangled my hand but it was all well worth it. Lastly was of course The Dedication. They started off with "Thanks for Last Night" and ended with "...Of You". Oh my god, every single person in that building was singing along to every word of every song (except the 2 new ones). Even when the mic Rich (the singer) had broke, everyone was still singing along... it was intense.
