Save All-Ages Music Clubs!

Today I went to The Great American Music Hall's website to check how much tickets were for a Brendan Benson concert next month. Directly on the front page I saw "HELP SAVE ALL AGES MUSIC VENUES IN SF!" which confused me a bit seeing how Slim's, Great American Music Hall, Bottom of The Hill, Fillmore, Cafe du Nord, etc. are all still in buisness. But I clicked it anyways and it turns out these LEGENDARY All-Age music clubs may be closed down by the ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) because the ABC

"continues to impose rules that club attorneys argue are legally questionable and often unrelated to booze or safety issues."

not about music, but has to be said

Tonight I got a chain mail email and usually I think "shit." but not this time. But once I saw what was said, and the video along with it, I was shocked. If you haven't heard already, two boys attacked their innocent, harmless cat Dusty brutally with punches, chokes, and soaking the cat. Over and over this lasted over a minute. You could hear the cat screaming and crying, begging for help that it couldn't get. Both boys were the sick evil scientists and the cat was their unsuspecting lab rat. This is NOT funny in the slightest, and these boys should be put behind bars. If you'd like to see the video, you can view it here, but be warned, it is graphic, and they show no mercy. http://www.kenny-glenn.net/ It is sick, so please think twice before watching it. And if you hated the video and "Timmy" (Kenny) as much as I did, then please sign the petition below, and get this kid put to justice. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/justicetodusty GET KENNY A FREAKIN' MENTAL HOME!!

garage band meet

Yo wus up people? 'Nuff talkin' gangsta, anyways, for the FIRST TIME meatloaf and mine-ze's garage band met! Aside from a few twiddly bits on my dad's acoustic (it's an olllllld guitar) we sound niiIIIIiiice. I'm doing this little blog of mine in our break. So who knows, maybe we'll be on purevolume in a couple of years? Ha- ya right. Nonetheless, we still are havin' a great time rockin' out. See ya guys 'till next time, Bucky Goldstein

new year and new stuff

Howdy strangers! I've started the new year wonderfully, I've decided to save my "leap second" for when I can put it into good use, but most importantly, this break has treated me very well. Condensing what I've done the past cupla weeks... 1st- first day of break, right after school, me and sarah went 2 to see Yes Man, (day it came out)afterwards we met up w/ prude, meatloaf, and vini. (If you guys can't keep up w/ the names, well sorry that sucks for you.) We got going to In 'N Out, the best burger chain that ever started, and meatloaf and I decided to get 4x4's, while everyone else decided to get wimpy double doubles. Lame. Then, we got going to the ice skating rink, where because sarah held on to meatloaf so much, he looked like a pimp. Nonetheless, great day. 2nd- After a couple of boring days, me, my sister and mom (my dad couldn't go, he got surgery, he's better now if anyone cares) went to Portland, Oregon to see our relatives and shop our guts out. My sister got the most obviously, but weirdly, I come next. And no third grader clothes THIS time, only wannabe prep stuff, A&f, Hollister, & Banana Republic. That's much better. Next, we got to see my aunt & uncle's home after a 4 HOUR DELAY - and it is absolutely beautiful. They've got good taste. Afterwards, we saw Valkeryie or however you spell it (lousy), then The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (4 stars). All in all, great trip. 3rd- Just recently, me, sarah, meatloaf, & prude went walking around Novato High School goofing off. (Kay if you haven't already, check the pics I uploaded, they have all the names of everybody besides vini.) We all were being stupid, but of course, I hold the crown of the being the stupid-ed-est. Just check the pictures, and you'll understand. Well thanks everybody for reading! And happy whatever you call it wherever you're reading from. Sincerely, Mista Hitchens
