Tony gets wasted in Pedro

"The man in the van with a bass in his hand"- Mike Watt!
Whoa, Darrin showed up!
I had this guy turned into....
these! Stamp sized stickers that fit on your trucks or phone or wherever you want them to.
Feel Spectres. Meh- I really haven't been feeling the local openers lately. (and there's tons of amazing bands, they're just not getting chosen for the opening slots. So don't think I'm being an asshole to the scene, just wasn't really feeling these guys)
Watt has a fun to follow tour diary on his site. Just click "read the tour diary".
Patrick snaps some dude doing another wallride.
If "Mall Grab" and "Butthash" read Shark Bait you know it's legit!
We got hats now, but we're having trouble making them fast enough to keep up with demand, so these may never see the web store. (We'll do our best, but Megan is sewing those on by hand!)
Old dudes= giggle fest.
Patrick locks one in.
As nice as it is to get the two bucks in the mail or in space dollars (paypal), the best is just an old-fashioned 'zine trade. Fun, Fun, Fun is a great one; check them out by sending some loot to: 3880 Carroll Dr., Horn Lake, MS 38637
"Kill Yr Parent's Garden" is another great one done by some young punkers in a suburb nestled between Chicago and Milwaukee. They also have a small tape label putting out music too, and I appreciate them sending along a comp and a demo by a super minimalist band, "Mammoth". You can get this one by sending something to- SSF Tapes/Macklin Brundage, 3306 E. Lakeshore Dr., Wonder Lake, IL 60097.
You can see a brief video from the end of the show here. Respect!

Darrin- was great seeing you at the show. That was a good one- he's such a rad guy. If I was one to say things like "positive energy" it would definitely apply in his case.

Macklin! Stoked you saw it! Let's stay in touch with 'zines and would be hyped to hear more music you guys are putting out!
