I had to say I know you from the internet a couple times this week
felt like a retard each time

I had a great weekend and saw a lot of people from the board.. a couple of ones, came up to me due to my picture, incl. "Der Englaender" and also met chason and jana, who I didnt get to know last year... Chewy and Philip were so nice giving me rides from and to the warehouse on saturday, I met Josh more than once at front of the stage singing along, there were three brits, that were pretty much our shadow from wednesday on in orlando ( i seriously ran into them around 30 times).. the only bummer was that dave needed to work all he time - I think we just had one beer together

I had a lot of fun with a couple of the bands as well, especially menzingers, red city radio and turkish techno that seemed to be all over the place.. damn - was nothing but a great weekend

I got over that with the birth of Myspace... or was it Friendster

Yeah I'm so glad we ran into you... awesome meeting you finally!

My wife and I got smashed into by an 18-wheeler 20 miles outside of Gainesville, we were ok, but our dear vehicle needs some pretty major repairs!! I was relieved that it happened so close though, as if it had happened earlier in the trip, I don't know if we would have been able to get towed so far. A nice body shop made it driveable and we pulled back into Canada after a 21 hour drive exhausted, but happy!

Gainesvilleians, you have a beautiful city with happy business owners who deserve your support! Kudos to the fine folks at the Paramount for knocking off over half of our very expensive long-distance bills we were forced to incur in order to deal with insurance garbage (NOT the way we had anticipated spending any time of our first vacation together!) Also big thumbs up to the friendly faces at Karma Cream who saw us so much that they eventually learned our order. Basically, we were greeted with friendly faces everywhere, and it was really nice to feel that comraderie, coming from a city where there isn't much of that.

The Measure was the number 1 reason I wanted to go, and they didn't disappoint. My wife asked Lauren to play 'The Moment You Said Yes" for our anniversary, and they happily obliged. This made my life!!

Small Brown Bike was amazing. American Steel/Shook Ones/Dear Landlord/Good Luck/Liquid Limbs/The Bomb/Wormburner were my favorite sets.

See you next year!!

OMG I'm so glad you two are OK and home safe now!!!

BArrie actually, haha, but no matter, common mistake! Great to meet you finally Phillip! you're an awesome dude.


Great to meet you too Jana finally as well! I'm glad Chason introduced us at Market Street.

I love that song, so glad you made them play it. They even said right before "we never play this song"

and Karma Cream rules. I shoulda gone there to get some late night coffee.

It really did go by too fast this year. Time flies when you're having fun I guess.

yeah, nice meeting you finally too Barrie.

Measure, Cheap Girls, and Cheeky were the highlights of my weekend. What an amazing time it was.

I had a wristband that I got from Crime in Stereo but for some reason did not attend any shows. We went to the Warehouse show for CIS which ruled. My bike survived and so did my boyfriend but we were most likely the drunkest people there. Saturday day we just hung out in the Kickstand parking lot drinking (if you went by we were hard to miss). Met 2 black ladies with their faces painted. Passed out near a dumpster. My white V neck quickly turned into a grey one, Met a Canadian named Johnny and I ripped my pink grips on my bike. That weekend ruled.

what the fuck?

I'm surprised you even had to ask.

Seriously.
