Half of Ben Weasel would be stoked.

I'm thinking about going to this. I love Chris, but the crowd he has been attracting lately seems to be lame, to put it politely. I will definitely be there for the Micah Schnabel show tonight, if the weather doesn't prevent it from happening. I'm super stoked for that.

This was great.

Both of the William Elliott Whitmore sessions are amazing.

You're complaining about drunk people at the Revival Tour? Come on, man. Are you really going there expecting everyone to be sober?

I forgot to put the variants of the Johnny Cash tribute album in the photo.

I think Taking Back Sunday is in there too somewhere. Anyone will do tonight, anyone will do tonight...

Did he get it yet? If so, anything exciting?

Woot off!!!

Granite Street Knife Fight is the jam.

Was it being driven by a guy in a minotaur costume? Beat me to it. Well played.

The Tribune is reporting that the victim was Mest. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-gang-extortion-singerjul15,0,2390803.story

http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/07/feds-arrest-gang-leader-involved-in-punk-rock.html This is pretty messed up. I'm curious as to who the "popular recording artist from the Chicago area" is.

This is every month for me.

It's a tie: Rise Against (/None More Black/Iron Cross) - RPM record release show @ The Fireside Bowl, Chicago, IL, April 2003 Alkaline Trio (/Milemarker) - Courtyard Cafe, Urbana, IL, April-ish 2002

Will this come with a digital download?

Do you work for Sky Mall?

He didn't play "Hell or High Water" when he came to Chicago a few months ago. We did get to see him play "Mutiny", complete with bass drum. It was epic. I love this man. Thanks for sharing these, Virgil.

I like the Misfits a lot more.

For sure. Prosser's Gabriel, Idle Idylist in the crowd, Austin extending his set to play Go West... So much to be said about this show, but I can sum it up by saying Tim Barry is the motherfuckin' man, and Austin Lucas is one of the most sincere dudes that I've ever met. Side note: I love Chris and have been listening to the Lawrence Arms for close to 10 years now, but I'll be goddamned if some of his fans didn't bug the shit outta me last night. (Someone actually requested "Barely Breathing". At least know the name of the song before you yell it out. Jesus Christ.)

I'll be there. It's gonna be a good one.

This is great. I would love to have a print of this.
