got it did

November was tight. House show at Casey/Sam/Paul's house was a blast, Not Sorry crew (pre-game Diegos, if you're not eating their new potato burritos for b, l, & d then you're fucking up big time), tons of food from their "hey it's Bellingham of course we'll have a vegan potluck" thing. I swear I had the best intention of making some sort of food (or at the last buying swedish fish) but I just ended up eating Eric's cupcakes and everybody elses food like I was on some sort of free-for-all/all you can eat game show. Gundert's food wins MTD (Most Tastey Dish...n/h). Mourningside AD played and destroyed everyone. They also covered Undertow. The show was a blast and there are going to be more at their house so that's tight.

















(Wish I were a 25.)

















(one of the best live shows I've seen this year, Mourningside AD)


















(morons)

The next night was the same show (+ a very swine flu ridden Parasitic Skies, with Bo on bass...tight) at the Fusion Cafe in Seattle. We played there once last spring with Marrow and Tempest and I was tuned to C# through half the set and came off like a real big idiot. Jason Clackley has put up with us twice there now, so I think that means we owe him huge. xPSx dropped their 7", Alan from NxS did that Bulldog from Earth Crisis thing again and it was siqwitit, Mourningside AD demolished and we looked like jack asses. The shows were fantastic, and Mourningside AD is the best thing in the world, and after the weekend was over I was bummed out. Hope those guys had a good time too.

















Thanks a ton for anyone who helped put on the shows or hung out/partied. On a personal note, that 8-mile bro from Detroit informed me he was moving back to the land of the Dark Carnival and I wish him the best of luck, I like that dude.

We have 4 songs ready to record. Maybe we'll get to that sometime this winter. We've been a band for a year now and want to play a ton more shows, get at us. Meanwhile our friends are moving units, Mourningside AD has a 7" out, Not Sorry does too. Get them, you'll be stoked you did.

We have the Vera Project New Years Show coming up, if you're around come drop by, some great bands are playing and it'll wrap up at a decent time (so you can party and see the Harkonen reunion thing if you want to).
























On another Bellingham Hardcore tip, Get it Ready recorded their live demo thing and it RIPS. If you are not in the know, set aside a half hour, take some notes, and get it did/ready/boo clap. You can download it here. Believe the hype, for real. Ian (Serious Black/SoberxUnit/Insecure/ThroatxPunch/Madison Convention/Poetry of Hatred/Therman Merman), Toby (Lakehouse/Bellingham beast), Shane (SB/Hook Up Boyz), Marcus (LDM/Torch the Morning/Therman Merman/Bellingman), Dooger (Boner Surgeons/Poetry of Hatred/Crisis on Demand/Politically Drunk/Stuck/A billion 509 area punk bands), Joetalitar (ThroatxPunch/Therman Merman), Bob Black (Get it Ready spokesman '09/SB/Hook Up Boyz). That took me too long to jot down, Jesus look at all those bands. A serious east meets west connect. Am I missing any other bands these fools were in?

See you in the pit,
