WillowStreet

it's sunday. the show was thursday. i have not been able to get on here long enough to write about it and for that i apologize.
thursday night @ willow street was promising to be an exciting event. i thought for sure it would be reminiscent of the days of yore at marty's. alas, the night fell far from my hyped up expectations. i was so disappointed. i couldn't even write about it until just now.
now, echo station was magnificent. they played really great; their songs sounded wonderful despite the fact that you couldn't understand what they said between songs cuz the mikes kinda sucked. the video came out absoulutely brilliant, and in all it was one of the best shows they played. kevin pulled through as joebags' substitute guitar player, and it was cute to see andy and kevin together on stage. it was also really kind of trippy to see echo station on stage at willow street. kenneth rolfson remarked how insane it was to see them up there...it was almost more remarkable than seeing them at mercury lounge.
what fell short of what i was hoping for the night was the fact that the place wasn't as crowded as i'd hoped. looking back, marty's was about 1/4 the size of willow street, so if we were in fact there we'd have been squished up to the front and it would have seemed more crowded. maybe because they went on so early, and it was a thursday night, the crowd wasn't as manic as they have been in the past. i myself was too self-conscious to dance wildly. by "debbie" the crowd had come up towards the front and were more into it, but again, there was no crazyass balls to the wall mosh pit as there has been for "mr. heartbreaker". maybe next time.
i am giving you a little taste of the night here. it is of course "heartbreaker" cuz it's the best...um. it's taking forever to upload to youtube. hopefully it will also be available in full length on the echo station website.
echo station rocked out "i am jack's broken heart" which was just amazing...they did a cover of "sucked out" by superdrag (that kevin ended up singing) and steve ended the night with his passionate rendition of "breed" by nirvana. i wish that they'd played for like an hour longer.
we saw part of love panther who rocked, but totally missed infectious by nature, since my dumb brother wouldn't babysit and mark and becky were home with the baby, and mark had work the next day. so we had to leave. it sucked. another reason i was so bummed about it.
let's see if my video has uploaded...oy, it says 100% but seems to be frozen. don't you hate that?
here it is. it will take 10 minutes from THIS MINUTE to actually be viewable so if you're on here before 1:15pm on sunday, just check back soon.

on a totally different note, did you know that "my super ex-girlfriend" was filmed at port chester high school??? it was insane to see the high school in a movie starring luke wilson and uma, and even crazier when we saw my brother's best friend eric aka bubba in the background. we were screaming like maniacs. we were all "holy shit!!! it's bubba!!" the movie was kind of suckfest, but worth watching if you once graced the halls (and gym and science rooms) of PCHS.
