  Well, looks like they're on for tonight. Thank GOD...plus, given that they're going on at 10:15 I should hopefully have enough time to leave work, go home, change and make it to the show. Bombay, I'll look for ya (I'm usually stage right) and Bags I'll look for you too. I hope that they've fought off their ills and will be back with a vengeance!

I'm usually in the general vicinity of the Food Food window, though I'm not sure I'll get up that close as I'm getting there just in time for Social D myself.
 
 I'll be at DC9 at 9:30 if you get over early and aren't heading right to the club to stake out your space.

well let me be the first to say the Soc D show tonight was really ALRIGHT!!  Another constant in life that doesnt suck. in other words, thats a ringing endorsement.
 
 again munchy scored sold out xtra tix :-) fu tktmstr
 
 i left any "ball and chain" behind and went alone. eff it this time, i dont go to talk.
 
 i was in crushing distance of thatguy [the big bouncer guy who i saw in a kilt pict on this board a while back], 1st time i saw him after learnign of him on this board.  i wanted to reach out and offer to shake his hand but i was afraid he'd crush it! besides im sure he'd be like "who the eff r u??"
 
 ps where does he take all the ppl he carries over his shoulder? outside? or some alternate universe-netherworld-purgatory sort of place -  full of virgins*, like maybe somewhere down by the backbar?
 
 i happened to like the opening band "bullets and octane", btw, good job.
 
 *in heaven why would i want virgins? i'd want a woman who knew what the hell she is doing. this is how i know religion is bullshit. glad i could clear up that centuries old debate on religion in one fell swoop.

wow one seriously tall crowd at the show, i'm guessin 75% male for this one.... luckily i was able to secure a good vantage point in the balcony when arriving right before SxDx.
 
 first time seeing SxDx since that killer triple bill with Neil Young & Crazy Horse & Sonic Youth.  Became a fan when bands liked this could actually get airplay on the radio and having been waiting for a recent show that wasn't soldout or a Warped Tour date.
 
 yet another band from yester year stomping on the new and "hip", solid tunes with little rest between numbers.  there was an unofficial sixth member of the band last nite, shame he didn't get his own microphone.  you know which guy i speak of

I was right infront of "big bouncer dude" and I can tell you one douchebag he carried out over his shoulders was escorted from the club for trying to start fights in the front for no apparent reason other than the fact that he was highly intoxicated.
 
 Anyway, that aside, it was an awesome show.  I snagged a copy of the setlist, here it is:
 
 Reach For The Sky
 Highway 101
 Under My Thumb
 Bad Luck
 Mommy's Little Monster
 Sick Boy
 Mass Hysteria
 Bye Bye Baby
 Diamond in the Rough (new)
 Don't Take Me For Granted
 BALL AND CHAIN
 King of Fools
 Nickles and Dimes

 Footprints on my Ceiling
 Ring of Fire
 Story of my Life
 
 Not as good a set as the Allentown PA show I saw back in May, but still a great show.  Even the opening bands were good.

The drummer was a hoot.  I hope he hooks up with a real band someday.  The singer was a complete joke.  Like some sort of mutant cross between Steven Tyler and Fernando Lamas, but without any actual talent.

Great ending...I had a really fun time, and the crowd, though tall and very "Social D," was really fun and quite easy to deal with.  I had more problems at Death Cab with the OC kids who don't yet know concert crowd etiquette (all trying to maintain their space perfectly and getting petulant when they believed it was being encroached upon...).  A fun rock n' roll show.  I find Ness great, he's so very....Ness.

We came to the conclusion that he is the bastard spawn if somehow Lemmy, Steven Tyler, Davey Havok and that fag from the Darkness were able to breed.

didn't know the lead singer of the Darkness was a cigarette... i too remember being in high school...

[ggw]

I thought the Dead 60s were great.  Really great.
 
 I also liked the DJ set after the Dead 60s.  The Dag Nasty was especially nice.

i don't make a habit of crushing people's hands.  say hi.  introduce yourself.  i don't bite unless you ask nicely.  or if i keep getting called a bouncer.  don't like that word when used to describe what i do.  no way for you to know that, though.

99.9% of the people that crowd surf are sent right back around the end of the barricade to the crowd.  we have a catch and release policy, as long as they aren't causing any trouble.  last night, one patron got a do not pass go, do not collect $200 trip out the back door for being an asshole.  that doesn't happen often.
 
 side note:  based on years of observation, i don't think that there are many virgins in the backbar.

It was great to hear Bye Bye Baby and King of Fools. I don't think those make the set list very often.  
 Mike Ness seemed like he was in a great mood after being sick.  Did anyone else see him tear up for an instance after talking about Johnny Cash?

Hoya and myself try our best. Thanks for noticing.

if you're talking about me, i don't need no mic.  i was singing louder than the crowd without one.  might just catch me doing it again tonight.
 
 great show last night.  sd is always a good time.  i've never seen them play a bad show.  i missed hearing prison bound, with its new intro utilizing dan on the organ, and when she begins, but overall i was pleased with the setlist.  i put a bug in a couple of ears about prison bound, so hopefully it will make an appearance tonight.

Yeah, I couldn't see shit. I'd be curious to see the alcohol sales of this show vs. other shows. The beer really seemed to be flowing - morons were walking by with four beers, spilling half of it on their way back to their spot...
 
 I really wish this show was on a weekend. I had to take it easy since it was a weeknight, and I'm going to see BSS tonight also. Still an awesome show though.
