well...

so the f yeah fest came and went. I think it was a huge success; the line never got any shorter and the echo was always packed with people. I think I actually saw only five bands the whole day, which was kind of a bummer since there were so many great acts playing, but I still had a great time just hanging out with those at the fest and running around all over the place trying to find people. The scavenger hunt/show was also a success, even though the show was moved to another warehouse as a result of the 6th street warehouse getting shut down. I've never seen strike anywhere play, but I was real excited to see them play at the warehouse show since they were from Virginia. dan deacon flew in from Ireland to play that show too, so that was really cool of him to do. But really, I think the best part of the fest was gearing up for the actual day. The whole experience could be summed up with: Drives to Anaheim every other day to pick up flyers, posters, shirts, etc. for the fest. I'm really glad that part is over. Nevermind LA traffic, have you ever heard of OC traffic? Burritos. me, sean, donovan, anthony, and luis giving david liebe hart a ride home after the Radiohead show (weirdest night ever. maybe i'll write something about it in the future). Missing the drama that unfolded at the second Radiohead show the next day. hardcore kids at the dillinger escape plan show getting super stoked about hearing that dan deacon was playing the fest. "dude, he's playing!? it's going to be like summer camp!" vegan ice cream. Painting ping-pong balls for No Age's set. sean throwing those balls into the crowd during "Everybody's Down". realizing how sad it actually looked. Collectively agreeing that more balls should have been bought. re-discovering 7/11 slurpees with sandy, ben, and damien from Fucked Up (apparently there's no dr. pepper slurpees in canada). guitarist from yeah yeah yeahs getting asked to play the fest while simultaneously getting invited to go watch the fest. fugazi shows that were in the works. realizing that it's too late for the idea. downtown la at 3:30 in the morning. Keys that won't leave the ignition. microcosm publishing. etc. etc. There's so much more that went down, but yea, don't really want to type. Thanks to all that came out to the fest and to those that helped out. It was fun.
Also, I'm really happy to be lending a hand to these guys for the next few months. Hopefully everything works out with it. really really really excited.

Fireside post vol.4

rainer maria (1997):
a song from probably my favorite album ever. I can't really explain it, but Past Worn Searching has been with me for almost a decade just spinning away. I never actually liked the album at first, but something about it just resonated with me. I guess it was a high school thing/trying to identify with something. I don't know. But still, this album gives me chills every time I listen to it.
