| ____________________________________ [Feb 21,2007 4:12pm - anonymous ""] alright i was just worried about traffic and shit. has anyone been to this venue yet by the way? |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 21,2007 4:14pm - futurebreed ""] They used to do shows downstairs (where this is at)... It's supposedly like 500 capacity for the area this show is at. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 21,2007 4:14pm - futurebreed ""] Hey Rev, I talked to Eric about the show on Sunday. He said we should be all set for shooting. I mentioned that I suspected you'd be there, and also there's some other regulars that'll be snapping |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 1:56am - DAVESTF nli ""] Such an awesome show. Madball is sooo killer! Rev.. do you know where Todd Pollock posts his pictures up at? |
| ______________________________ [Feb 22,2007 7:28am - 123 ""] review?? rev you've been fallin off on reviews |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 7:40am - anonymous ""] longer sets would have been nice for 15 dollars |
| ________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 8:09am - xmikex ""] I got a $40 parking ticket after this show. I parked in a metered spot thinking it was fine. I came to find out that there was a resident parking after 6 sign 50 feet down the street behind a tree. You know where you don't get parking tickets for shows? Brockton. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 8:11am - anonymous ""] brockton aint downtown boston, guy |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 8:27am - DAVESTF nli ""] STF got a ticket for the exact same reason mike! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 8:33am - the_reverend ""] todd doesn't really post his pictures any where. I think he gives them to the bands or something. I will link his myspace when I get to work. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 8:50am - xmikex ""] anonymous said:brockton aint downtown boston, guy Wow, think so? Do you work for Rand McNally? I'm gonna forward that this thread to Mapquest corporate headquarters and see about getting you a job. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 9:21am - the_reverend ""] damn it, that could have be MY moment to shine. stupid stupid stupid stupid. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 10:15am - swinesack nli ""] sick show. and I learned something, Boston is a place where "friends don't let their friends fight alone." I need some friends. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 10:16am - tbone_r nli ""] there were fights? i don't even know why i go to shows, i get too drunk to remember anything anyways. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 1:00pm - RichHorror ""] This was fun. I was bummed I missed Shipwreck, though. Also, what was with the early end? Did they have a dance party or some such bullshit going on after the show? |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 1:36pm - the_reverend ""] like I said, this venue looks like a person in the 80's tried to design what rock bars in the future would look like. I kept waiting for that "electronic, super sonic" video to kick off in front of 20 mirrors. BLAST OFF!!! Unfortunately no keytars. Besides that it was cool. the shows have to be over for curfew? something about after hours club or something. they should have let them open the doors at 6pm so that the bands would have longer sets. shipwreck: I've been spoiled and seen 2 amazing shipwreck performances before this one. They played really well and all, but there wasn't really much engery (besides a drunken tboner) and they seemed really cramped up on the stage. since the flood: first time seeing them since the new CD dropped. the new tracks sound pretty awesome. To correct what chuck said, Laid to Rest was on the re-issue of V+V on metal blade and not on the original CD. The new songs that they played, they have been playing for about a year now so everyone could sing along. By the end of the set, they seemed to have bridged the gap between the stage and the crowd. it's weird.. like they just have a little window to get at the crowd between those cabs. I think they need to move the PAs out a little more. Their set ended with small pile ups of people singing about what they have in their heart and that you never turn your back on your brother. death before dishonor: similar situation with the PAs being in the way. I'm sure mose people in the crowd didn't see Dave at all. it didn't matter once the music started. They played all their hits in the short amount of time they were allotted. their set was short, but definitely great to see them playing in boston. the pile up of people singing along at the end was even bigger than STF's as people screamed about how they will be true until the time of their demise. madball: I judge madball sets by one fact: rap or no rap. lately, they are following the trends from the CDs and just getting heavier and faster live. they stay away from all the songs that have rap in them. Since there was no rapping, I thoroughly enjoyed this set. first off, they took a long time to get on the stage. someone should have warned them about the curfew before hand and they could have jumped up on stage quicker and gotten more songs done. their set-list was HUGE. when freddy said "ok, now we are warmed up" he wasn't fooling around. they had like 20+ songs on their set list. I think they got through about 14 of them. The set was nothing but sing alongs. great! this whole show was an awesome introduction to what might turn out to be the return of hardcore to boston. MLE and all have a bunch of shows listed at the Roxy coming up (comeback kid, bane/haveheart, locust/daath/cattle decap/daughters) and it's looking good. Hopefully, they will start shows a bit earlier and tell the bands that there is a curfew. Also, I'm hoping that no one fucks up this place and it's fruity decor. that would end shows there real fast. there is a picture of carina's favorite security guard (arm in sling, but he was talking pictures too) and a the security inside was really nice. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 1:37pm - the_reverend ""] tboner took 15 minutes to put my number in his phone. some how I kept ending up in the 608 area code and not the 603. Then he introduced me to futurebreed (dan) like 20 times, but warned him no matter how good his pictures get, I'm still his boy. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 2:57pm - tbone_r nli ""] i should have introduced you to my butt. who fought? |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 3:06pm - tbone_r nli ""] [img] freddy treats me like a princess and holds my hand. chivalry is not dead. |

| __________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 9:03pm - Charlie ""] dood i was very drunk. very drunk |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 9:03pm - RichHorror ""] You're a good man. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 9:19pm - the_reverend ""] I'm pretty sure that you were just grabbing the monitor and slamming it down |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 11:03pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I almost went to this but I ran out of funds while I was in Boston this weel. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 11:05pm - tbone_r nli ""] the_reverend said:I'm pretty sure that you were just grabbing the monitor and slamming it down would explain the bruises on my right hand. well played. |

That doesn't compare to the time you were trashed at the Rohis show and took the microphone in the middle of the set and started screaming I love boners. Or the time during kings of brockton when affiliated played and you took of your shirt and said if everyone else didn't take of their shirt they were pussies. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 2:12am - tbone_r nli ""] im here. im queer. deal with it. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 8:08am - xmikex ""] or the time it looked like some kid wanted to fight you during Rohis, and a handful of us stepped to this kid all serious only to find you rolling around on the floor laughing and kicking your legs in the air like a ladybug. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 11:41am - Niccolai ""] haha Tom should get into every show for free. and I need to book more shows at Romans. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 11:59am - the_reverend ""] I looked down at him more than once and he was doing a seig heil hand gesture to the bands. I just shook my head. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 1:24pm - tbone_r nli ""] i still have my drinking bracelet from this show, and on it i wrote "WWILD." So next time i find myself getting too drunk at a show I will look down and think "what would ian larrabe do?" I dont really know what Ian Larrabe would do in that situation, but im sure it's not drink a whole bottle of jager. He probably wouldn't wear a pink bracelet either. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 1:28pm - xmikex ""] He'd look in the mirror and say "I'm Ian Larabee... I'm the fucking man." and then do whatever the hell he wanted to do without appologizing to anyone for it. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 1:30pm - xmikex ""] - What was it I taught you guys? - Par...tee....down? [img] YESSS!!!!!! *freeze frame cue Louie Louie* |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 1:48pm - tbone_r nli ""] what a handsome guy |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 2:18pm - anonymous ""] if i know anything about anything, it's that my suspicions of tom's homo man crush on ian larrabee still remain strong. groups.myspace.com/larrybsupportgroup |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 23,2007 3:10pm - the_reverend ""] it's a party, it doesn't have to make sense. |
