SkaPunkMusicMan's Review

We got a ride to Denny's from Lena's older brother. Denny's about 2 blocks away from Club Rio and it was 4:30pm so we were in no hurry. We ate for half hour then walked over to Club Rio and we were the 3rd or 4th group of people in line. That was pretty cool. then we waited for an hour but it felt like forever. So we finally got in and we all got a spot right in front. which was exciting for them but not for me. I hate the front. but I stayed up there anyways I didn't want them to feel like I would ditch them or anything.

Fabulous Disaster came on and they were pretty good. I liked there music, allot like the donnas but faster and allot angrier. But there stage presents and everything was pretty boring. nothing too special about them.

Then the mad caddies came on and they rocked the house! they were fun; really into it. it was a load of fun. but I only found one skank pit (cause there a ska band you wouldn't expect that) the rest of the crowd was really violent and mean. during the end of Mad Caddies I ran into Lenny and Ellie bezinski from school and they were piss drunk. I asked lenny for 50cents so I could get a water and he was a total dick to me. he said "NO BECAUSE YOU LIKE SKA AND SKA SUCKS AND BECAUSE YOU WEARING A SHIRT THAT SAYS SKA ON IT YOU SUCK!" then his girlfriend just said "here you go just leave me and lenny alone." she gave me 50cents and I got some water.

Before NOFX came on I ran into ellie again and she's like "be glad your straight edge cause when your not you drop your sweater." then she started walking she dropped her sweater and said "see!" I just laughed at her and walked away.

I was already kind of afraid of the crowd because I was getting kind of picked on during the mad caddies. so for nofx I just stood at the side like "everybody else" which made me feel like a hypocrit but I was kinda scared at that time. THEN SUDDENLY OUT OF NO WHERE! there's a chick fight and one of the chicks is Ellie! I have never seen her fight before but she kicked that girls ass (sorry for swearing I felt it was needed) I found out later that the girl got pissed because ellie spilt water on her. anyways the cops broke it up and threatened to kick the girls out but they didn't.

NOFX did a really good set everything I could've asked for except "please stop fucking my mom" and "always hate hippies" but otherwise an awesome set. a little bit from every album, which is good. altogether it was a really good show and I'm glad I went!

OH YEAH! i bought a cool NOFX t-shirt too for only $5
