right on bro!

Played a show at the Hub with this band in Fullerton. That place is crazy! I don’t remember ever having such of a scene of a hangout when I was in college. It was totally packed. Even though the audience liked us, I felt really old. We played really well (a hell of a lot better than we did at the last show at the Joint), except I stomped on one of my pedals too hard and unplugged myself during one song.

After having listened to the other bands, I think I have a good handle on what the phrase “Orange County sound” means. I mean, I was generally familiar with what it meant just by listening to KROQ, but I guess being there was kind of like eating Chinese food in China or something.

I guess that means this band that I play with has the “East Los Angeles sound.”

I think Fullerton is near the fires - when I got back to my car after playing, it was covered in a fine layer of ash, and you could see more swirling through the air.

So today was the Halofest, too. Apart from one dude who kept complaining about wanting to play Slayer mode all of the time, it was really, really fun. I’m getting better at the Xbox version each time.
