horriblefest day 3:

november 12, 2005 - beachland ballroom

horriblefest day 3: the jeffs, king louie, the krunchies, upstab, functional blackouts, cuntpuppet, feelers, catholic boys, jabbers.

it was a lineup i was really pumped about. and the show was really great, too. i was just in a worse mood, so that might be why thursday keeps standing out in my mind as the best one.

-the jeffs were fun. the singer (jon slak) pretends to hate hot trash when really he loves it, so i pretend to hate the jeffs when really i love them.

-king louie showed up a day late, so he got to play between bands. it was awesome to see him! i kinda always thought i would never get the chance.

-the krunchies rocked the fuck out. their set was so good. fast and loud and catchy as fuck.i finally got their record and they gave me a tshirt. they are still thanking us from the last time they slept on our floor, haha. i like those kids. they are nice!

-everyone was talking all day about how once upstab played, it would be "the last show the beachland ever has." so everyone had their guard up, but it wasn't even that bad. someone set off fireworks even though the show was threatened to be cancelled if it happened. whatev.

-the functional blackouts played, and while they were good, they didn't play either one of my favorite songs ("ticktickticktick" or "stupid face"). ugh! earlier in the day, beth and i met brian i think is his name...and he was really funny so we hung out with him at the show some of the time.

-cuntpuppet was kinda funny, i guess. i was bored so i went in the hallway to buy lots of cool shit and talk to everyone.

-the feelers were awesome. it was the best time i've seen them yet. they went nuts and rocked the fuck out and you could actually HEAR them this time. usually you can't hear dan singing. i love those boys a lot. i wish i would have had more time to hang out with them this weekend, but i'm sure i'll see them fairly soon.

-the catholic boys were awesome too. i loved it. "psychic voodoo mind control" is such a great song and sounds SO good live!

-the jabbers played last and i didn't really pay so much attention. they were fine. mostly i hung out with alvis<3, or sat around with my best friend joe who got kicked in the mouth or something. i was so sad for it to end.

so it was officially over, but there was still one last pajama party over at the sugar shack with the butchers and the blowtops. i haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

-the blowtops played a game called "kick bart." the object was to walk over to their friend bart, who was sleeping on the floor, and kick him. the poor guy!

-we made aaron sit in the fart chair, and we made scott do fart situps. it was hilarious.

-then the blowtops really really wanted to play "twister." haha. so there was this intense game going on for a while. traci tried to pass on her turn by saying "everyone's gonna fart! that's the problem!" aaron told her, "i didn't fart, and i played it!" and then she gave in. all the guys wouldn't stop demanding a game of "all girl twister" so me, beth and traci had to play so that they would shut up. i won all the times that i played so i am the champ. i had to play ryan from the butchers to win an argument about which song was on my sam cooke record, and of course i won...but i was right about the argument in the first place so i guess it doesn't really matter.

-people started going to sleep. when dave passed out, me and scott put cute little stuffed animals and glo-worms all over him. he looked pretty peaceful. finally, it was just me, scott and ryan left so we threw in the towel and went to bed around 5:30am.

i woke up this morning just in time to see the blowtops getting ready to leave. they left us a cute thank you note on the fridge, but i hugged them all goodbye. eric and tony from holy shit! stopped by to pick up the bag eric left here, and as they were leaving the house beth heard the following conversation outside her bedroom window: "those girls are the biggest sweethearts in the WORLD!" "I KNOW!" hahaha. everyone was so nice this weekend. the butchers hung out a while, long enough to eat cinnamon rolls before it was hug & goodbye time for them as well. then i literally ran to my bed, and slept all damn day long.
