Who is going to the BLOW OUT in LA this weekend?

[Sean Law]

This isn't a show plug, I genuinely want to know who is going to be in attendance at this:

[Gore Galore]

putting on shows.

[Hadda "Bad" Day]

thought the fall-outs show was your swan song?

[Gore Galore]

actually the last show I booked and I am promoting is Crash Normal at The Scene. April 24th.

so yeah...

Golden Boys on Feb 25th
Fallouts March 8th
Holy Kiss March 22nd
Surprise Band April 19th
Crash Normal April 24th
My permanent vacation starts April 25th.

I doubt I'll do anything after that...both Boss Hoss and Norma will continue on. I'm just way too bitter these days. I need a vacation.

new blood is good too.

I'm totally there tonight! Maybe tomorrow. Damn! Am I the only one working Monday? Oh well it's probably going to be worth the sleep deprivation..

[Gore Galore]

was it worth it?

[Liz]

I had so much fun it was totally worth every mistake I made at work the next day! What's a sister gotta do to get more shows like these in L.A.?

[Gore Galore]

come out more often! that's all you gotta do.

[Sectmaniac]

I was also going to throw in the towel after this Blow Out, but Gore convinced me to stay on and now he's leaving me!!

I'm going to soldier on, but less frequently...

There was a lot of underlying (behind-the-scenes) drama with this years Blow Out that Gore and I had to deal with and we're both tired...

In the end... the weekend was a blast and I hope to do it all over again next year!

[Sectmaniac]

It was good to meet some of you folks!!

[Sean Law]

I ended up missing out on the Friday night (it was an American holiday weekend and I was flying standby from Vancouver - all planes were full). I arrived in LA Saturday AM, got to attend the meet'n'greet (meat'n'greet?) BBQ Saturday afternoon (very cool), and both the Saturday and Sunday shows. The short version of the story is that I had a really good time and would definitely go again if there is another edition with a line-up as strong as this one. A lot of the bands were really great, the one I enjoyed the most was TH'LOSIN' STREAKS, who I hadn't seen yet and had been looking forward to seeing ever since their record on Slovenly came out.
It was also cool to meet a lot of like-minded fans, including some from this board. The room was a veritable who's-who of Rock'n'Roll Fandom.
If you weren't there, you definitely missed out!
I will post photos etc. once I have sorted through them all.
Big THANKS to Real Boss Hoss and The Eye for staging this event!

[The Fleagles]

The Saturday and Sunday night shows were a blast (missed Friday's)! The chicken wire screen (was that from Thee Cormans or Haunted George?) was an interesting touch, fortunately nobody tested it with a flying bottle.
