Battle Wrap Up

Keep on rockin in the free world
Update: The other bands didn't suck quite enough. We lost out to Postlude and Unknown Reason. Considering we had the marketability of a wet rock, I'm not too surprised. ;)

We came, we saw, we left early cuz the other bands sucked. More Pics Here

Well, that's not totally true. We only stayed for the next two bands and then split. It was a fun first time out for this crew as a whole and hope to play again. In a way not having a soundcheck and plugging in to an amp I'd never seen before tonight was a bit refreshing and we knew, aside from how we played, we had very little control over what we ended up sounding like.

You can check out a video clip here. The distortion is from the mic on the camera, not your speakers so don't worry.

Now begins our 'eastern mysticism period' where we experiment with drugs and use lots of sitars.

    What's going on?

    Just in case you're wondering why all these old entries are showing up - thanks to the internet archive I can go and grab a bunch of my old entries. It's actually a neat way to remember what you're site once looked like if you're into frequent redesigns like I am.

    Since I'm nerdy about being complete I'll be trying to grab as much of my old entries as possible. I didn't realize I had started this version of the blog back in May of 2002. Coming up on 2 years now. That's a lot of blabbing.

    Rebuilding

    Just to update anyone wondering, the server my blog was hosted on crashed and lost everything I had put up in the last year or so. Don't feel sorry for me though, I should've been doing backups. It's the same thing as opening an email that says "Here's a sweet screensaver!" with an attachment titled "annakornikova.exe".

    So since I have to rebuild, I'm going to start from the ground up and redesign and incorporate a photo section now that we've got a digital camera.

    In the meantime, go get a song sung for you and play a game of smack the penguin.
