3 day going away party

Why I even go to hardcore shows in between touring is beyond me. It seems at least some of my friends have some kind of superpowers they use to convince me into tagging along to go see shitty band #285 since past October, and every time I fall for it I find myself hiding in a dark corner near the bar asking myself why I'm there and not somewhere else. So last Thursday DaxMila succeeded in dragging me down to the Joe Coffee show in Haarlem which I genuinely was excited for since I loved Sheer Terror but never got to see the Rev. Bearer in the flesh. And even though I loved Sheer Terror I went in completely blank and without expectations which is the way to live if you never ever want to be let down by anything, so I did not feel anything when it turned out I did not like Joe Coffee's music and headed to the bar and got mad drunk. I must admit there was a slight sense of disappointment that Uncle Pauly wasn't as talkative as he apparently had been other shows on this tour. But whatever, I hung out with some people I hadn't seen in ages which was very fun and interesting. A big plus too was being in an automobile with DaxMila for over an hour again, something which is always quite an adventure. He didn't let me down this time as we headed north to Haarlem by going an hour south first as DaxMila had no clue where he was or where he was going. It was great and we got to listen to a lot more good music this way.
Oh yeah, Bold played too.

Friday my buddies Ivo and Ingie took me out shopping and I spent money like water. A.o. I bought a digital camera and you'll all see the results of that on here pretty soon. I never guessed taking pictures was this much fun! Ivo made me buy white shoes since summer's coming up and white shoes are the big thing this summer (as every summer I guess). He did however give me 30% off discount coupon for which I was and still am very thankfull. Me and my white shoes will be on display on various stages throughout the US this summer, scroll down for dates.
Later that night some of our friends threw some kind of squat/ house party where beers and wines were 50 cents. It was awesome and since I now had a camera I took a million pictures of which I will most likely put some up on here. The party had good music, a good mix of people and good drunken antics. Ivo got rowdy and kept sneaking up behind the DJ booth to turn the beat up. I was loving it.

Yesterday was Queensday... I think all I remember right now of that day is that at one point I was convinced The White Suicide Rythm And Blues Collective are the best band to ever come out of The Netherlands and are the future of music in general.

Now please let me get on with packing because my brother is picking me up in a couple hours to drive me through the airport.
