Flying Ninja Seen at Outsidelands

Best Lolla Ever!

It was a searing summer in Chicago this year, interspersed with a torrential downpour out of no where for an hour or so. We ran under this 18 wheeler for shelter along with other till the rain let up. Tweenies we were at this Lolla, I got to meet Harry McVeigh, Ed MacFarlane, Jack Savidge, Edd Gibson. Best Lolla ever... just don't tell anyone I wasn't 16 yrs old.

good old brit pop

ever since pop scene moved their event site to rickshaw stop, sophie and i haven't frequented a pop scene event in awhile. we did however make it to brother and we're glad we did. now, pop scene always attracted a variety of individuals. there were the anglophiles like us, horatio, nyles from frasier and then, dependent on who was on, it can range from folks from san jose, la, etc. i believe now that pop scene is in rickshaw, it's open it's doors to a bigger audience, older. i'm not sure how i feel about it.

pleasantly surprised

ive been to many a gigs in SF. sorry to say, SF audiences suck, i'm one of them too. so this criticism is also about myself, we try to get all the way up front, we're not superfans, we stand with our hands folded and stare stoically at the stage and give whoever that's moshing a hard time.

two shows i attended recently however has made me proud! maybe it's their fan base but for tdcc and cut copy, boy was the crowd hopping. young, old, superfans, newbs, they were all enjoying the gigs. good job sf!
