Saturday 3/6/2010

On Saturday I drove to Baltimore to see CRO MAGS!
Praise opened, they were awesome. Youth crew-esque, fast. I can't find a link for them but I will keep looking and update.
Set to Explode played so well. I was anticipating them the most after Cro Mags. I really like Set to Explode. I get to see them again April 17th in DC!
The Inmates played next. I've never heard this band but the singer seemed pretty pissed off only 10 people knew the words to their songs. I don't know. They sounded good to me.
Killing Time played. I was in the back behind 200 people. I missed a lot of their set because I was stupid drunk. From what I saw, it was awesome.
CRO MAGS! Ugh, words cannot describe how amazing they were. Totally blew me out of the water. I expected songs to be half assed and sloppy, they were not. They covered REGULATORS and I lost my mind.. The set was perfect.
After the show Tony & I ate at Dennys in Dundulk(sp?). It was drunk fuck central and because I was incredibly sober after Killing Time's set, this sucked a lot.
I really like Baltimore. The city is very pretty. I threatened to beat the shit out of some bum if he broke into my car.. "REMEMEBER THIS FACE BECAUSE IF MY SHIT GETS BROKEN INTO, I'M GOING TO BE FINDING YOU AND BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF YOU" The shit I say when I'm drunk dude.
I also met Joanna! She is so cute and sweet. I like her. I saw a lot of people I use to know but don't talk to anymore. It was awkward. I often wonder why people just stop talking to me.. It's usually dudes and it's usually because I'm not going to fuck them.


Mary & Nick let me sleep on their new couch. They are so awesome. Sunday, Mary, Nick, and their friend Brian and I went to eat brunch at Fells Point. We went to a few places. It was so nice outside every things was really crowded. We ended up eating at Koopers. I ate a pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw. It was pretty good! Than we walked around Fells Point for a bit, went to Sound Garden, and stood on a corner and talked for a bit.

I was very excited about going to Celebrated Summer in Towson. Tony finally came to meet me and we went there. I picked up 3 LPs and 1 7"(i'll post about them in a separate entry). I really like that record store. They always have awesome shit and it's priced fairly. If you're ever in the Baltimore, make the 15 minute drive to Towson to check it out.

It was a nice trip. I think the next time I'll be out that way will be for the Mindset record release. What an innnnnnsane show that will be.

This is so fucking good.

Learn their songs, sing along, book them in your city. Mosh.

This is so fucking good.
ps. if you miss that show, you're a dope!

Baltimore Vday

Picked these up (minus the 3 Blacklisted 7"s) at a record store in Towson, Maryland before the Blacklisted/Ruiner show in Baltimore. I don't remember the name of the store. It was a very awesome record store. I would like to return when I have more money. They had so many records I wanted.
Tony, Mary, Nick, and I enjoyed sushi at a rotating sushi bar in Towson. It was cute! The sushi was decent! It was also cheap..that's always a plus.
The show was a lot of fun! Ruiner played a love song set and it was great! I wish I could see them play more. Once I get the funds, I will take more trips to Baltimore to see them. Blacklisted was perfect, as usual. They only played like 3 new songs. I was hoping for more. Both sets made me happy I chose Baltimore for Valentine's Day over a little boy. Hardcore > boys. I didn't really watch Pulling Teeth or Strike Anywhere. I like Pulling Teeth but the preaching kills me. I wasn't about to stand near the stinkyness of Strike Anywhere's fans.
After the show we met up with some of their friends to eat at a shitty diner that I will never go to again. It was an experience though.
I like Baltimore. I've never hanged out in the city itself before, just passed through. Driving home at 5:30am on no sleep really sucked though. The drive was awful. I couldn't keep my eyes open for longer than 30 minutes. I made it 2 1/2hrs in before I had to stop and sleep for another hour, haha. In the end, I didn't mind as much. I enjoyed "hanging out" more than sleeping. ;)

2/14

spending Valentine's Day seeing two of my favorite bands, Blacklisted&Ruiner, well i don't mind if I do!

The future..

I am looking forward to so many things!! This is kind of a first in a long time.

1. Blacklisted & Ruiner for Valentine's day! Hopefully seeing Mary and meeting her husband, Nick, Hannah, and Tony!
2. Turning 23 (ups&downs I guess)! I don't know why I'm excited about this. Just sort of am. I hope to spend my birthday eating sushi and drinking massive amounts of alcohol. I don't know where that will be yet because I have class from 1-10pm. Weekend will be good I hope.
3. United Blood! Seeing awesome bands, in a city I've grown to love, with the best of my friends. I am so excited to see everyone! <3
4. Closer to getting my degree. Another semester closer to getting my degree.
5. NYC with my brother! in May Bryan and I are going to New York City (my first time!) to see Jon Stewart doing taping of The Daily Show. I hope to eat some good food.
6. Summer days spent at the beach with Ashhates! Weekends will be spent on the beach hopefully on Chincoteague with Ashley. Getting tan, swimming, and moshing to Mental.
7. Road trips! Enough said.
8. Sound & Fury-Cali! Buying a plane ticket soon for S&F in Cali. I haven't been to California since I was like 3. I am very freaking excited.
