BUT FOR HOW LONG?

Really? Another one of these? Honestly, how long will I keep this up? I'm going to try and write something here every single day...even if it's just one sentence. Or one word. Sure I am...

Well, Sunday I returned from the 2008 Insubordination Fest. I saw (or could've seen...I had to sit a few of them out) close to 60 poppunk bands from around the country/world. I enjoyed the hell out of it. The only things that could have made this a better experience were:

1) More money. I'm almost always broke, but this weekend I was especially strapped.
2) More booze. See #1.
3) Comfier shoes. Those Adidas shelltops weren't cutting it. I wished I had some big poofy vans or even some of those old school Reebok Pumps!

Fun story: Our hotel was about four blocks from Saturday's venue (the Fest was a three-day event in Baltimore, with a pre-show at the Ottobar on thurs, "day 1" at the Recher Theatre in Towson on fri, and "day 2" [the eliminator!] at a place called Sonar in Baltimore) so after a set by The Steinways one of my new favorite bands I was naturally sweaty and sweat upon from a good bout of mosh pitting, I decided to walk back to the room, change, chill, and maybe pour myself some scotch. So I get back, towel off, change, have a drink, flip through the channels, take off my shoes, and generally unwind. Then I notice the storm clouds and lightning outside. I then decide to head back, before the storm breaks. I get about a block away from the hotel before it starts to pour down rain. I arrive at the club, therefore, in nearly the same condition I left it. Hot, moist, and not in the fun sense of either of those adjectives.

I CAN'T WAIT TILL FEST 2009!!!
