haha yeah let me explain: it was a halloween show. Justin (the bassist) was hulk hogan, their drummer Matt was one of the characters from "Arrested Development", the lead guitarist John was Borat from "Da Ali G Show" and to be totally honest I'm not sure what the fuck their lead singer Shawn was..

Haha yeah. Too bad he didn't have a better mustache or a bald cap, but still... great choice of costume.

That's a shame...it was really something. Even though it wasn't my favorite venue, it was still an awesome experience with the community they built. Hopefully they can start it up again somewhere else.

i just e-mailed the J-Crew website and bitched at them. What's my problem?? i'll tell you, they make these sweet long sleeve shirts with cool ass pockets, BUT, the problem is that after you wash their sweet shirts they shrink; not width-wise, not length-wise, that's all cool. the things that shrink are the sleeves. the sleeves start off the perfect size, but after you wash them, the sleeves are too short!! although i probably don't look like a fool, i sure do feel like one. i mean, no one wants to walk around campus with sleeves that are too short. if anyone else is on my side, e-mail J-Crew and tell them what's up. if that is too much to ask, then the next time you see someone wearing a long sleeve shirt, tell them "hey, i hope that's not J-Crew, because your sleeves will probably shrink."
- thank you for listening to my banter, i gotta go. i love this place, i feel at home here (AP.net)

Ah! John doesn't have a fro.
He came out during Street to Nowhere's set, and I was like "wtf where'd his hair go? That can't be him." Alas it was.
