I was planning on attending, but now I have to spend the night scrambling to find a sound tech and equipment for a show on Thursday. Gotta love them bigger promote companies telling promoters one thing, then doing another. dude, you gotta stop explaining yourself in any thread about any show. i dont even know you, but you dont have to justify why you were or weren't at a show. the people giving you shit aren't going to like you if you go to some show or if you have an excuse not to. it won't change anything.

Great fun! Too bad it wasn't rowdy enough to smash any windows RE: the window smashing thing: I just saw that clusterfuck facebook argument you guys had there. This is why I hate kids my age. Also don't ban Septic Paste from playing shows, they are cool and didn't do anything. OK LET'S NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN. This Ceremony show was cool.

Where can I find the argument? I agree. This broken window (I was there when it happened, and after) is a weird issue for me: On one hand, I understand being young and getting wasted and causing shit. It's part of what makes the art form what it is, that chaotic disregard. But on the other hand, most of the bands/kids at shows like these (re: young local bands) I've seen don't have that same sense of a greater purpose; they seem more like bratty, entitled kids dropped off by their parents with too much sugar in them than fiery young people taking out aggression in sanctuary from a dark and frustrating world. Generally speaking. But then again, older punx obviously felt the same about me and my friends when we'd show up to shows young and fucked up, causing shit. Let's just hope these are the seeds of something better, and not worse.

And I guess I should state that it just sucks for he Mercury, which is basically one of the only places left besides the Exchange for shows. And I think what makes this a shitty thing is that Jenson tried to collect money for the window, and people kinda made fun of him for giving a shit, like people were proud to be so disrespectful. Grow up, take some responsibility for your lives and your scene.

I don't know the guy, but his name is Cory Klyne. If you can't find it that way I think all the fpg dudes are tagged on the post.

I sentence FPG to 1000 hoots of weed. These dudes are little boys having fun, all young men are disrespectful assholes, remember guys? remember when you were? That being said, as an older man, this shit is annoying. I also really like when little kids born in a post Cobain world try and tell grown-ups about punk, laughably silly.

I remember when Jessie smashed the toilet at the Manhattan Room. People broke things there all the time, but everyone romanticizes it in retrospect as this mecca of community and shit. Some kids broke a window at a show; not too much to analyze.

I think, Justin, that at a certain age in your life, you are exempt rom the criticism of ones who came before, but this new generation of nerd lingers need to be constantly reminded that their generation, nor the one they grew up in has done anything significant.
please refer to this for future reference

Some kids broke a window at a show; not too much to analyze. This was my reaction exactly. On a separate note, I'd prefer to see a show at the Club than at the Mercury, all else being equal.
