Holy crap!
I’m soooo tired. I’ve been rocking since noon (didn’t make the 11:25 I wanted to, but hey, still…)
Today, I succeeded in seeing Vextion, Amanda Duncan, City Riots, Outside The Box, The Millstone, Sheli Aarden, The New Rick Barrys, Readymade Breakup, The Amboys, The Millwaukees, Keith McCarthy, and a few others whose names escape me at the moment. However, I failed at seeing Bob Denson, The Ruling Party and The Churchills (who are on RIGHT now), which I regret. I also missed Hartwell and The Misery Loves, but that’s ’cause neither of them showed up, so, y’know, fuck those guys.
Oh, and addition to seeing SO many great acts, Eric Ginsberg & The New Originals rocked The Saint…hard. We got a CD of the show, so I’ll take a listen tomorrow or Monday and see if anything is worth posting here. Also, there was a lot of video (should be up on youtube in the next week or so) and TONS of photos taken, both on stage and after. Expect those in the coming week, as well.
Tomorrow, I’ll be checking out industry discussion panels, as well as 12 more acts. I can’t wait! I don’t know how I’ll get to sleep tonight with all the excitement.
I’ve been couch-surfing this weekend, so I don’t venture too far from Asbury Park. Last night, I crashed with Ken Richlin who was super-awesome to put me up, and tonight I’m staying with Steve Bove, from the Abury Park Press, whom some of you may remember as the writer of that fantastic article about me a few months back. Funny story, actually. We’d never met before today. He’s a friend of a few friends, and as I was walking past a storefront, he came out and introduced himself, having recognized me through the window. And here I am at his apartment (house? I can’t tell), writing today’s wrap-up. Well, that’s rock ‘n’ roll, right?
More tomorrow and my pictures on Monday. G’night!
