Most of those bands aren't good?  I wish we could get festivals like this in Minnesota. Instead we get jam band, classic rock and metal fests. Bah.

dr. dog puts on a good show.

[Petey]

maybe i spoke too soon. : O

i just listened to some clips of the people playing. ANYWAY, is anyone coming?

[jed]

I'm going to go down for at least a few hours during the day. My wife wants to see the Detroit Cobras. But she is pregnant so we probably won't stay for the whole night.

I want to see the Black Lips if only because I appreciate a band that rocks out with their you-know-whats out. Literally. I like rock and roll, but I also like watching boys make out, so it's a win/win situation for me.

I also understand that they have vomited on stage, the guitarist uses his own penis as a guitar pick, and at least one of the band members drank their own "Golden Fluid of Life." That's not what I call it. I saw a picture of someone doing this at the Church of Euthanasia website during the early years of the Internets, and it stuck with me. I also wish people would stop using the term "water sports," because that's seriously ruining water-skiing for me.

Waaaaaaaaah, someone tell these chuckleheads to come to Miami. We have more coke than those assholes in Williamsburg.

Don't get me started on Siren Music Festival or Coney Island (what a dump!). After Saturday I renounced all outdoor music festivals.

Did The Black Lips do an homage to Strotesick during their set?

Aw, that's not nice. There's no need to bring fowl into this. I'm having flashbacks to my junior year of high school, when the fuckwit seniors released chickens into the halls and the little sociopaths that roam said halls jammed ballpoint pens into the poor birds and plucked out their feathers. I adopted one of the survivors, who died three weeks later. Most of the chickens died the same day of the "prank," of shock, probably, and injuries incurred at the hands of brats and psychopaths. I hate kids.

I did as well, long ago. I find more than three bands in a day hard to take..

Good Lord, did you go to "Lord of the Flies" High School?

You'd think, right? I was kicked out of Gulliver Prep (don't ask -- it involved the headmistress's grandson, who was very LNS), so I attended public school. Miami Killian Senior High hosted The Killian Nine. To be fair, Principal Dawson was a total dickhead and had a forty-inch computer monitor in his office, which was paid for by my parents' taxes. WTF? Also, I got a pretty great education. The AP program was good, and I had my best teacher there. He died at a young age, unfortunately, of cancer. I tried finding his memorial page and came across this instead:

How can one not ask about getting kicked out because of incidents involving the headmaster's son?




Reading that Killian Nine article takes me back: I got censored - and censured - (not by name, so not too bad) in front of the whole school for implying that Jesse Helms was a closeted homosexual (and black, and a woman - so it was obviously a joke).

I never got strip searched or arrested, though.  Maybe I should have tried a little harder.

Get your facts straight, son. Headmistress's grandson.

Regarding your Jesse Helms anecdote: Where did you go to school? Huntsville, Alabama?
