My band ended up headlining the metal show last night for some reason. The place we were playing at is in the back of a silk-screening workshop run by a punch of crust-punk kids who obtained a liquor liscence for the show so that they could sell alcohol and make some $$$. But while Indian Police were playing, pigs showed up in a van and 2 cruisers and totally busted the place down. It was chaos. A whole bunch of kids got fined $150 for underage drinking and slapped the owners of the place with a $1000 fine even though the underage kids brought the alcohol themselves; the venue was NOT selling it to them. Then the police declared the event a "no-minors" event from there on in, and any minors caught trespassing would be fined. Needless to say, I had a hell of a time smuggling in my sister and one of my bandmates (both of whom are minors) just so that we could play our damn set. Because of all the damn ruckus the cops made, we didn't finish till like 2 am, a bunch of kids got fined, a whole lot more got kicked out for no good reason, and the cops made off with a hell of a lot of money. Fuck tha po-lice.

Guys I have a horrible personality complex... Someone suggest a way to get rid of it.

Possibly, it all depends on Jess.

Death trip
Gus Van Sant's new film is about Kurt Cobain's last days. Or is it? Even the director doesn't seem sure. By Howard Feinstein

Last Days is the last in a trilogy of spare, low-budget independent movies shot in contained settings that began with Gerry (2002) and continued with Elephant (2003). "They're each about death," the Portland, Oregon-based Van Sant says. "Gerry is about death by accident. Elephant is about death by insanity or retribution by someone else's hand. The third is about death by one's own hand." All are derived from real events covered in the media: Gerry, on the death of a youth lost in the desert; Elephant, on the Columbine high school shootings; and Last Days, on the suicide of Cobain, who lived in Seattle, a fellow celebrity artist in America's Pacific north-west.

Slackline sounds like fun. I'll give you a shout at around 7:00 Pmish or so. If you are still around.
