Lets be friends!
I thought Punk Rock Bowling was a bust this year, then they released the clubs shows. Larry Arms are worth 16 hours of driving. See you in May, Vegas.
I’m also seeing the Lawrence Arms a week from today in Los Angeles. Party.
Is it just me or…
do you guys ever get like an empty (or I guess depressed) kind of feeling after a really great time comes to an end?
It’s been happening to me a lot lately. Like when I came back from Colorado, PRB last year and this year, and a few other times that were just so great like this weekend that just ended.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel really empty after these kinds of things. Sometimes it gets so bad I legitimately want to cry. Like if I hear a song that reminds me of it or I watch the videos or look at pictures from the time. It’s really weird. And for the record it’s not a normal sad. I can’t even explain the feeling with words. Do you guys ever get like this or am I just crazy?
**I’m already dreading leaving Fest and I still have months to go before I’m even there. I will cry when I have to say goodbye to everyone. Wow I’m a baby bitch.
As I’m sure some of you read from my posts after Punk Rock Bowling, a friend was horribly injured during his stay. He fell 10 stories down a ventilation shaft and suffered numerous and life threatening injuries. I’m sure you can imagine the medical bills are not going to be pretty. Especially considering he was in ICU for 4 days. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and even the smallest amount helps. The least you could do would be reblog this and help spread the word.

They kill it every fucking time.
I think this sums up punk rock bowling so far.
I don’t do coke, but everyone else does. And I couldn’t not take a picture of this.
Party!
Tomorrow I leave for LA to go see Hot Water Music and Tim Barry. Then Friday morning I’m heading to Vegas for Punk Rock Bowling. Sorry I’m not sorry that I will be posting a lot of really ridiculous pictures. If you’re going we should party. I’ll be staying at the Golden Nugget. Wooo!
Busy week ahead of me. Plus Dead To Me again on the 31st. I wonder if I’ll get sick of them after four shows in one week…nah.
Well Matt Skiba just got added to the club shows for PRB. Looks like my saturday is gonna be fucking insane.
First PRB actual show until I’m over watching NOFX
Then off to see Dead To Me play at some bar. I’m gonna peace out after they play.
THEN I have to run over to another bar to catch Skiba. Hopefully he plays with someone legit. It says “and friends.” Who could it they be?
My bank account is going to hate me so hard this week.
I have to buy tickets for:
PRB Club Show Friday $15
PRB Club Show Saturday $15
PRB Club Show Sunday $15
FEST 11 3 Day Pass $85

The rest of this year is going to be insane. I get to see so many of my favorite bands and friends from all over the US. I am so stoked for Punk Rock Bowling and Fest 11. Shit is going to be intense.
I don’t think some people understand how much going to shows means to me. It’s more than just seeing a band I like. It’s about meeting people from around the world who share the same love for music as you. It’s about running into friends that you met years ago and still remember even though it was a night where you were black out drunk. I will travel for shows because it makes memories. I love screaming the lyrics to my favorite songs while standing next to complete strangers. I don’t mind waking up on the floor of someone’s house or hotel room. I live for these kinds of moments.
I only hope that people will find something in their lifetime that makes them as happy as going to shows and music in general makes me.
Booked my room at Golden Nugget for PRB this year. What do you know about a shark tank water slide?
Day 26: The Beltones - Ain’t No Life
I’m kind of super excited to see these guys play Punk Rock Bowling this year. This kind of punk music reminds me of when I was in high school. It’s seriously like the only thing I would listen to. I still find it weird when people hate gruff vocals. They are seriously my favorite thing ever. I probably would have a harder time getting into something that involves a person with a polished voice. Get into it.
