Show Journal 2003-10-10
I’m not quite sure why we only make it to Roseburg once a year but it just seems to work out that way. We arrived to learn we had an interview/write up in the local paper that featured the teachings and wisdom of Dave as well as what we were told was a pretty terrible picture of us. As expected the evening went very smoothly and was a blast courtesy of Nate and Rock4Reason. The only exception to this was a nasty “girl fight” that happened moments before we got there. It’s too bad we missed it because there’s something really exciting about a full on cat fight. Then again maybe I’ve just seen too many movies about women in prison. Most of the bands tonight were screamy hardcore/metalcore stuff (except for the acoustic guy from I.F.) so I think we caught a few people off guard with our not so metal sounds. Note to self: play more Misfits songs in Roseburg as everybody there seems to know them. Second note to self: do not follow up a Misfits song in Roseburg with your own because it will be very anti climatic. Oh yeah, we busted out another mostly unheard song tonight at the show. The working title is “Paging Mr. Bronson” which really doesn’t have anything to do with the song but cracks us up when said in a Pee Wee Herman voice. It probably goes without saying but CTL absolutely ruled tonight. I’ve seen Danny take some falls but I had never seen him take that much abuse for 30 minutes and still rock the house. Perhaps the power of Ty compelled him? Man I love that band. Actually, all the bands we met tonight were very cool to hang with and we wish them luck on their respective tours. Thanks again to Nate for the show hook up!
