i went to see aus-rotten at the mr roboto project. if you don't know about roboto, it's this little shit hole in wilkensburg (right by oakland, pittsburgh) where the entire towns population is black, and every one stairs at you funny. especially when it's me+nina+kiala+splat+robert (2 white guys, a black guy, and two white chics), but anyways it's really hot in there, and most of the people are all the real political krustys, who i get along w/ somewhat, but when ever they see charge/filth punx like us w/ big green mohalks and painted leathers they seem too look down on us, like you have to have dread locks, and tons of like quadrupled zero gauged piercing to be political punk. it helped to reiterate my feelings for a lot of things about 'punk' culture. weather you a chaos, krust, pop, charge, filth, drunk, etc, punk you can be as political, intelligent, cool, (or visa versa) dumb, drunk, or posure as anyone else. iv decided if you krusty w/ dreads, poppy w/ kakis, charged w/ huge chaos spiked hair, or filth w/ ripped up jeans you can still be cool as hell.

today we went to club laga to see blanks 77 along with sixer + the macarthy commission. 6er was ok, and macarthy sounded like normal, and blanks were really good. they cover my shernoa, but mike blank only knew part of the 1st verse and the chorus, it was still hilarious. i saw lots of old friends, chris watson, drunk mike, pogo, mike doc, bill, etc, etc, etc... but mike doc (amanda's skinhead boy friend) wanted to kill chris watson (the 'punkest man alive') because of some old shit between him and amanda. but drunk mike and i were trying to stop the whole think, so we missed some of sixer. eventually i talked doc out of it, atleast for today. after the show we (me, nate, lukkas, nina) were hanging out side lage with drunk mike. i was bumming for money off all the goth kids the come to see 'ceremony' (aka goth night) after the punk shows. we were running the streets shouting 'BRING OUT YOU UNDEAD!' it was really fun, then some random goth girl kissed us, and nina got kinda jealous. all and all a good show.
