When my friends bought tickets to see Screeching Weasel's 1 show in Austin awhile back, they asked me if I wanted to go. I said no, because tho I love their old stuff (first 2 albums and Punkhouse 7"ep) their later stuff (tho some good songs here and there) I don't care as much about. Also Jughead wasn't going to be with them, so it's not a definitive line-up, and lastly, they wanted to stay and watch the Riverdales (Ben Weasel's other, more Ramones-esque band) the next night. It's funny- I actually introduced these friends to Screeching Waesel a long time ago, then didn't really foolow them when they left punk and picked up pop punk. My friends kept following them, and are into everything they did. So thyey all bought tickets to Emo's on Friday (and Saturday for the Riverdales) and hotel rooms. Well, one of them backed out, so they asked me if I wanted to go for free, with a free hotel room. I was still kind of up in the air, but thinking that would be pretty cool. Then I found out that Magrudergrind, Unholy Grave, and PLF are playing inside Emo's the same night that the Riverdales are playing outside. So I'm going. It should be cool (esp since I'm not driving!).

In other news, the new Witch hunt album is totally channeling Husker Du. It kind of surprised me. I almost got into a fight with an old man today because I was running a little late for work, and accidently bumped the side of his giant truck with my car door. There was no dent or mark, but he freaked out. He kept yelling at me. If I didn't have my name tag on, and be about to walk into my job, it might have gotten ugly.
We're training several new people at work. Most of them are pretty cool.
That's about all I have to say right now...
