This festival is a new level of booze and drugs. We got kicked out of a Billy Bragg show for being too loud and saw a bunch of shitty bands nobody liked (how sad is it when you see their parents in the audience?) but that’s about all we can remember.
We’re doing a show at the Longbranch Inn tonight at 9PM and then crashing some comedy thing at Esther’s at around 12:30.
Highlights so far include…
(Stockbauer and his wig. We now call him, “Hunter S Thompson dipped in fag.”)
HOW’S YOUR NOSE
Hanging with the How’s Your News? crew has been an orgasm. Susan Harrington has really blossomed into her role as lead singer and has even sewn epilates on to her HYN t-shirt. After the show we did our stand-up comedy thingie where I explain to people how to put coke up a girl’s ass and why it’s dangerous to jerk dudes off because you could rip their dick off and it was weird when Jeremy from How’s Your News walked in. I tried to tell him he’s going to learn this eventually as people held their hands over his ears.
After they left all the cokeheads kept saying “How’s Your Nose?”
EL P
I hate music and I hate rap even more but I have to admit El P was pretty fucking amazing. The audio doesn’t really come through in this clip but you should have heard it. It sounded like Atari Teenage Riot or something.
RAP FIGHT
How’s this for the gayest thing on earth? After Dizzee Rascal this dude starts rap poetry slamming this guy up against a wall. Embarrassing.

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

i’d heard from a guy you were going to wear diapers at your show and throw actual poop at the audience. granted, i heard this from a 35 yo man that wears a full seat of dentures. he pulled those things out once we got to his place for the “sick bumps” (his words) he’d promised. he had the entire collection of tv carnage and a grip of vice back issues. i trusted what he had to say.
i wish a single word of this were fiction.

There is a sign at the gate that clearly states “no midget african americans allowed”
