July 31

Last night @ Chestnut I saw Cornered. I've been jamming their demo for about a year now and had no idea they were doing stuff until Alex & Tyler brought them to the house. Their set was fucking perfect. I picked up their 7". I missed Cheap Thrills set. Another Mistake has played better sets. New Morality was cool. I've never seen them before. They offered to cover Warzone but covered Crown of Thorns instead. That bummed me out.

Take Offense was awesome. Pit was very violent. I stayed in a corner and covered my head most of their set, hahaha. They played the house not too long ago. I think this set was better. I watched a few songs form Downpresser until Tyler got hurt and I went to tend to him. What I watched was cool. Never disappointed seeing Downpresser.

After the show, Alex and Josh brought out a lot, A LOT, of fireworks. It was pretty cool.

The show was a great time. Ate some Taco Bell after the show with Jim & watched True Blood.

I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE IT'S AUGUST.

I'm lonely on a Saturday night. Jim's on tour and it seems like everyone else has plans or sorta kinda has bailed.
Naps during the day kill my sleep patterns.
Expect some [cool] updates.

Philadelphia & Syracuse...

Friday Jim, Josh, Ethan, and I will embark on a road trip to Philadelphia, PA to mosh at Six Feet Under Showcase on Saturday. Floorpunch, Bitter End, The Rival Mob, the Mongoloids and one TBA at 3pm! I hope to get a good cheesesteak while in the city.

After SFU Showcase we will head towards Syracuse, NY for Forfeit's last show-Terror, Gravemaker, Foundation, Naysayer will be moshed too.




I've never been to New York. I am so excited I could explode. I get to spend the weekend with three amazing friends (not to mention one of them is the best kisser and the sweetest boy in the world), visit a new city, visit a city I'm already in love with, and see some of the BEST hardcore bands.
