Hope you enjoy?

Update: amherstpunk.com now works

Holy crap!

Some of my videos at archive.org have over 1k downloads. I'm averaging about 1k unique users per month.

What the hell? I thought I was talking to my self/small groups of friends most of the time. There are a hell lot of you lurkers and I've written some straight stupid shit (most of it is me complaining about growing up + wanting to be a kid again).

I suppose i should apologize at this point. So uh, sorry?

West Mass Kids Stay tuned in the next few days, there may or may not be a tasty treat coming...

And by tasty treat I mean I'm having eric install a message board on mega-fucking-homieville.net that will focus on Amherst Punk primarily, West Mass secondary complete with a little calendar and stuff. It'll be your one stop shop for punk round-these-parts.

Hopefully it'll help bolster the little community we have building, if it turns into a stupid mess of drama and shit talk, I'm shutting it down.

There may also be the fact that eric isn't able to install the board to norman's server (who i've been leeching on, also the reason sometimes ilovescifi sends you to sensitivetolight) and then you'll want to forget everything I just said.

Right.

Huge fuck you to the Cashin Hall UMass Amherst RA on duty at midnight on 1/27/08 who refuses to check me in even though I'm an out of state student who only could manage to get in at midnight (CA is 3,000 miles away you dumb fuck) and was fucking lazy enough to suggest I "go to a hotel."

Are you serious?

All it takes is for you to walk down stairs, sign a paper and give me a key. You were clearly wide awake and watching TV on your fucking fat ass.

You are officially the piece of shit for 2008. Congrats.

Update: Bonnie is the best fucking person in the goddamn world. RA of the year for 2008.

Full is uploading. I'm sick but I'll ramble later.

Update: Full is up, still sick, kinda jet lag, why am i awake? Will ramble later.

Update #2 on 1/27/08: Layover in ATL. Ramble time...
- Bane show was a nice mix of older hardcore dudes and young new kids, awesome.
- Video is a bit shakey, sorry about that. The side stage was packed and i tried my best to stay out of everyones way, but that generally consisted holding my camera above my head with hands outstretched...
- Video is black and white because the shots of the crowd would have be totally dark so i used night vision, opted for blown-out contrast in place of shadows.
- Please respect your venues, be it the Che Cafe in San Diego or Mercy House in Amherst or whatever. Kids being pieces of shit and giving attitude when I suggest using some goddamn common sense = mega bummout. The Bane show didn't spur this comment, a Mercy House show did.
- Try not to hang off the rafters dudes. The Che is old, you're heavy...
- Volunteer! Help clean/pick up trash/plates/whatever! It helps a lot and is totally appreciated.
- Which speaking of, my hands smelled like garlic that night because i was chopping it in the kitchen, sorry if you stood near me and had to deal with that.
- Wish i could've filmed other bands esp. outbreak and trash talk, was doing winter session homework until 8:30 pm. Damn.

Back

Actually I've been back, but I lost the video that Shipwreck was on so uh....

Yeahhhh.

Winter session has been killing me, I NEED and "A" and I keep on falling short... story of my life.

Bane up within a day or two, going to bed now though. Maybe a taiwan report if I have enough time to write one before school.

Oh and one last thing, I've been using skype a lot to talk with family in taiwan, so that's another way to contact me you know, besides listing everywhere I live online, my AIM screen name, my e-mail, a meebo chat widget... I own the internet.
