All The Arms We Need

Last night we drove 2 hours to see The Endless Blockade, Eating Glass, Empty Hands, Christ Swallower and other bands I don't really care about in Brantford. 

Got home from work at 4:30, still not knowing if we were going or not. I finally convinced Mike to drive, so we went to Kevin's to get him and directions. While there we talked Riley into going. So after getting Riley, and going to the bank, we were on the road by 6, and at the show by 8. Getting there, we got a few weird looks, but other than that Brantford seems like a cool city. Saw a bunch of people I know. I was impressed by the scene there. The band merch I spotted was next level.

Blad And Jerry opened the show, we arrived in time to see at least the ending bit of their set. Then I think Christ Swallower played, or maybe a different band. They were good; the Minor Threat cover was fun. Empty Hands, or maybe some other band, probably played next. They were fun, excited to see them again. After them was a boring local band. By that time The Endless Blockade and Eating Glass had arrived. I was mid way buying The Endless Blockade merch when Eating Glass started, so I hurried up and got in the pit. The mosh was good. My high jump during Feed Them was the most fun. The Haymaker cover was excellent. After them was that chainsaw band that I didn't watch because we went to get a "small" fry, and stand outside talking to the guys from T.E.B  and Craig from Schizophrenic Records . Then The Endless Blockade played. There was a lot of loud noise and a lot of yelling. Also a broken kick drum. 

Then we drove home and I went to work today.
