Show Journal 2006-04-14
Longview. Finally. After two cancellations it was nice to be back. Hard to believe it had been 9 months. The show tonight was a blast. Reid’s was eerily clean. It smelled like some sort of cleaning product which is good since it usually smells like a combination of urine and stale cigarette smoke. The bathroom odor is fiiting since the sound is descrbed to be that of a flushing toilet. The first band (who’s name I totally didn’t catch) sounded good. Everyone seemed into them and that’s always good way to start the show. We were up second and all I can say is that it was nice to be back in the LV again. Thank you so much to everyone who enjoyed themselves. You totally made our nights. The Independents were great again and were equally thankful for the enthusiastic response. Quote of the night was from Dave in the van. We were reminiscing about the first time we met The Independents when Dave remarked that Evil looked like a barbarian because “he had long flowing hair, a crazy beard and was covered in furs.” Thanks to all who attended and super thanks to TJ for all the years of hard work at booking shows. Anyone who has ever enjoyed a show in Longview should take a second to thank TJ and Suckerpunch Records. It is a totally thankless job, so on behalf of us, thank you for everything TJ.
