My two favorite quotes from the weekend.
"Dealing with an egotistical bitch? Tell her "you're not pretty enough to act the way you are acting.""
- Pro Sex Tips
"Toys R Us, nigga, I don't wanna grow up!"

Friday night was rough. I'd been sick the previous couple of days. Being Thanksgiving weekend, damn near everyone I knew was off, but not my office. Never my office. I was up at my usual 530am, with a foggy head and sniffly nose, was working all day, had to rush home, shower, rush to the studio to get my gear then get down to Ace of Clubs early enough to be able to find somewhat decent parking. Manage to park around the corner, in front of The Artist Formerly Known as Bond Street Cafe. Had a nostalgic moment about it, but that's a rant for another time. The show on Friday was actually a lot of fun. Edge Of Madness, Alekhine's Gun, Doomsday Mourning, The Last Stand & Respawn the Ancient were also on the show. I know someone in every band except Doomsday Mourning & Respawn the Ancients. Lots of friends. We had a very good response. Our new singer Mike is coming along nicely. He still needs to come out of his shell and actually say something between songs. Joe & myself have been the comic relief between songs, then Mike would mumble the name of the next song, haha.
Saturday's productivity was limited to changing the oil in my car & having my vroom vroom washed, then the rest of the day was spent on my couch.
Yesterday was the Sheer Terror homecoming dance at Webster Hall. They were AMAZING. It's great to see them finally headlining a venue of Webster Hall's stature. CBGB's was cool and all, but they are certainly deserving of more. Paulie declared last night was not a reunion, since Newman, Chickie & Pat want nothing to do with him, it's the beginning of a new era in Sheer Terror. New lineup and a new song was unveiled last night, which was crushing. If they keep it up, the new Sheer Terror album is gonna absolutely flatten any and all hardcore releases for the year and beyond. Mike Scondotto & myself were discussing how we didn't like Love Songs For The Unloved (Sheer Terror's last record). It was too punky/punk n roll. Not the Sheer Terror we grew up on and loved. Breakdown also played last night, and they were equally as incredible. Stigma & Step 2 Far were also on the bill. I enjoyed their sets. A few other bands also played who i didn't give a shit about.
Sheer Terror in their glory...
I also got cockblocked really bad by my bassist at the show last night. I was discussing it with a friend earlier, so I'll just copy and paste...
me: well, one of the bouncers was this huge fat dopey looking white guy. some of the other bouncers were having some fun at his expense, mainly putting signs on his back.
first "ladies only", then "men only", then "unisex" (signs for the various bathrooms), then some long funny sign that i can't remember that Joe took a picture of.
Sent at 9:45 AM on Monday
me: there was this cute chick near me when that last sign was on his back. So i lean over and say "wanna laugh your ass off?" she smiles and goes what? i tell her to turn around. she had already seen that and was laughing. we're talking briefly and Joe comes along and start yapping away with her, nonstop, buying the three of us shots, and keeps going on and on and on.
to the point where i texted him and said "thanks for chatting up the chick was starting to chat up, dick"
and he apologized cuz he thought i knew the broad.
we both had a huge laugh over it, especially when I'd glare at him from time to time and he'd start laughing and apologize again. he had said "dude, she'll be back. she'll need another drink eventually."
she never came back. glare glare glare
her: funny first half. sad second half
me: yeah. he bought me several beers to atone for his sin.
and i told him "dude, if you ever do that again, I'm gonna have to go Burt Reynolds on your Dom DeLouise ass and smack you across the face when you do wrong."
her: hahahaha
And finally, my MMA tidbit for the day:
My friend Keith Peterson is a MMA referee. The video below is of a match he refereed which featured a 3 second KO. The KO wasn't all that spectacular as much as what transpired afterward. The KO'd fighter was so dazed that after Keith waved off the match, Keith was taken down and was in full mount before officials pulled the dazed fighter off him. Pretty god damn funny!
