People Stuff, Pt. I

This trip was the real thrill seeking, revaluate your life, non-stop show attending, record shopping, constant beer drinking, pizza eating, walk til' your soles couldn't take anymore week long test of endurance for the sake of rock n' roll fun. This trip is about Omar and I adventuring the East Coast, I will post a series of these. Yes, I should be asleep but I can't sleep cause Im sick. Suck it.

9.18.10

- Stayed up all night drinking and was picked up for our flight at 4am

- Woke up in Texas confused hours later.

- Arrive in Philly a few hours later and picked up by my soon to be friend Maddie.

- We stop for pizza.

- Go to the OX in Philly for a Boyfriends, Spires and Ed Hoculi show.

- Reuniting with our friends in said bands on a roof drinking beers, brings a  warm fuzzy feeling inside.

- After the show we grab a bite again and go back to Maddy's for some shut eye.

9.19.10

- Wake up and get into Maddie's car because we're headed to New York for three shows in one day!

- In the middle of  New Jersey our car breaks down and we wait for four hours until AAA shows up.

- We took the train into New York. Arriving in the Big Apple in from the subterranean level then heading up is the most cinematic experience of my life. It took me a second to realize what was going on. Every building is big, every other car is yellow and everyone had somewhere to go.

- Missed the ABC No Rio show due to car troubles.

- Went to Brooklyn to see 1994! and Spires at the Glass Room?

- With the Algernon Cadwallader/Malegoat show a few blocks over at the Stolen Sleeves Collective, we go off to that show.

- On the way there, I bought Amelie off of a girl in a shady street selling her DVDs.

- Made it in time for Algernon/Malegoat and leave to catch the rest of the first show.

- We arrive but we miss 1994! and Spires however we made it in time for APESHIT!

- APESHIT! fucking ruled.

- Omar and I go off and get drunk and meet our friends at the Pita Palace around 3am.

- I met the most beautiful girl with a washboard named Dizzy, we talk and part ways shortly.

- Omar and I continue getting drunk and part ways with our friends in Manhattan.

- Our new mission is to continue eating pizza, drinking beer and watching the sunrise in Central Park.

- Mission accomplished at 6:28am.
