| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 6:35pm - the_reverend ""] im here right now. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 6:52pm - the_reverend ""] I parked so far from the door thinking that's where the only spots were cause there were sooo many cars. then all of the cars drove off. they were parents dropping their kids off. eep! there are plenty of people here. I think this is going to be a kidfest. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 7:06pm - the_reverend ""] first band is on... im have dejavu. did this show already happen and im stuck in jacobs ladder? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 7:24pm - the_reverend ""] the first band had terrible sound. idk who they were, but I couldn't find any spot to stand where I could here things. plus the mic kept cutting out. they might have been called off broadway... that might and probably is wrong. good turn out though. that's something. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 7:26pm - the_reverend ""] ok, it was arms over broadway. allah be praised. I honestly thought this was at the american legion so I thought that I could just get food right next door. now, im starving. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 7:46pm - the_reverend ""] neo slaves wasn't bad, but the sound in here still sucks. they had the drum set falling apart for 1/2 the set. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 7:56pm - the_reverend ""] people have also been drinking in the parking lot os the show might get shutdown. can someone google the nearest tb for me? |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 8:16pm - FlightlessBird ""] The show getting shut down would be awful. What is TB, Rev? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 8:22pm - the_reverend ""] wow, she knife fight bromance! j/k.god to see him again. they were the best sounding of the bands thusfar. they played better, but the sound dude is also running around fixing things. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 8:24pm - the_reverend ""] tacobell. is there one in natick? the show was saved by some cones. everyone is playing extremely short sets. like 3 songs each. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 31,2009 8:26pm - Pires ""] Taco Bell 022449 1 reviews 1560 Vfw Pkwy, West Roxbury, MA 02132-5500 (617) 327-2645 closest one... |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 8:56pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Wrong Pires. Rev, there is one in Framingham near the intersection of Rte 30 and !26. It's a KFC/Taco Bell. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 9:03pm - the_reverend ""] hm... pires got quoting and diting in text and now he wants me to die in roxbury? that's like sendning my white ass into GTA iv. more sets like oti. people were singing a ton, moshing and the bassist looked like someone in whitesnake. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 31,2009 9:54pm - the_reverend ""] follow the flies was funny. towards the end, the sound/show guy took the brown bag away from them and went to flick them off if anything happened, they finished their song, but then went they went to do another song they were not allowed I think. not really sure what was going on. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 12:45am - the_reverend ""] working on pictures. marry xmas. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 1:05am - the_reverend ""] pictures processing. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 1:51am - xanonymousx ""] don't go to the tacobell in haverhill it sucks. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 2:10am - the_reverend ""] on 125? I've had nothing but experiences there. That would have been out of the way from me driving home. I went home and fried up a ton of tofu and rice. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 2:47am - keynotecompany nli ""] definitely a solid turnout. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 2:52am - tramplethweak ""] hopefully the bands made some money |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 5:18am - keynotecompany ""] I'd be curious to see what Aminals/ABC got out of x number of people there, probably 200-250 I would say. A lot of people snuck in or were guest listed though too so maybe it wasn't that high. Never really got into them personally, but it was cool to see them play to so many kids stoked on seeing them for one last time. Seeing OTI/FTF up there was somewhat weird too, but they got good reactions and lots of people drove up for them. Nothing really to say about the first three bands. Crowd was good early, but the sound was struggling so I didn't really watch them for more than a song or two. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 2:21pm - hoodstar ""] such a good night over all, it was weird seeing OTI/FTF but it was definately worth the drive up there. |

A ridiculous amount of kids snuck in, security wasn't too great aside from the cone incident but atleast we were allowed to go outside because it was hot. :yoda: |
| ______________________________ [Aug 1,2009 2:54pm - Pires ""] WTF is up with these cones? Explain. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 3:53pm - the_reverend ""] you had to stay behind the cones. and it wasn't hot in there at all. I was thinking about how comfortable it was in there. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 1,2009 6:28pm - Pires ""] Lol stay behind the cones? As in no mic-sing-a-longs? WTF? |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 7:47pm - jdefiance ""] cones as in, outside. since people were drinking in the parking lot, they didnt want people going to there cars so they put up cones and if you went past the cones youd loose your wristband and would have to pay again to get in. there were crazy pile-ups and mic sing-a-longs |
| ______________________________ [Aug 1,2009 7:49pm - Pires ""] Damn text version. I haven't been on a computer in 4 days and for some reason when I try to look at pics on my phone they come up as "?". |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 7:49pm - jdefiance ""] also was anyone besides rttp covering this show? i saw many a camera's flashin, felt like a photography convention haha |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 1,2009 8:57pm - the_reverend ""] I had 2 flashes set up for one. there was another girl there with a nose ring shooting most of the bands. there was also a girl in he front shooting, but idk her name either. some dude took out his camera for neo slaves and that was it. that is it for pro-bodies that I saw. if you think that was a lot of cameras... I actually thought there were relatively few. thatgranted me more liberty to move around. the show im at now is much much smaller and even here there are 3 photogs; me (if you include me), futurebreed, and todd pollock. actually, go to the band ignorance's page on myspace, the link should be here http://www.returntothepit.com/band.php?band=ignorance and listen to the song "photoholocaust". |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 12:33am - awesomedude ""] she nasty set the mood for the whole night |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 12:36am - the_reverend ""] one thing I commented on was all the bands were like 18yos except for she nasty. there was a definite change once they started. loud sound that filled the room finally. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 2,2009 6:05pm - jooj ""] we didn't receive any cash, and there wasn't any payout...we made the agreement with the promoter to have the show for $7. we wanted it to be $5, but he insisted he'd need to do atleast $7 to just break even. given the turnout, i'm sure he did just fine. but we still didn't get anything. ilya was trashed and tossed all our merch off the roof of the van for free. videos of our set are on our page, myspace.com/youaminals |
| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2009 8:54pm - elliot ""] I sure did! |

It was a fun show though, but damn could have thrown you something. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 2,2009 10:17pm - the_reverend ""] keynote, I've been message in pires in my phonebook thinking it was you. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 2,2009 10:19pm - Pires ""] Yeah WTF. Get your shit straight, homes. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 3,2009 6:29am - keynotecompany nli ""] the_reverend said:keynote, I've been message in pires in my phonebook thinking it was you. haha what were you getting in touch for? |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 3,2009 7:44am - the_reverend ""] usually I messed you about shows that you were going to, but it was pires that I was messaging. I wish I knew that it was pires earlier so I could have sexted him on those long, boring night. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 3,2009 4:00pm - SinnyMinny ""] No mention of my security expertise... What an asshole. |
