Gil Mantera’s Party Dream/Brainbow/The American Jobs

Seriously. I don’t read the emails he sends me nor do I answer his calls, but I’ll be god damned if I didn’t run into him at Magnolia Thunderpussy on Saturday.

So I apparently still have a job here. Either that or Duffy is just too busy with SXSW and hasn’t gotten around to reading Weakened Wrap-up #1. Either way, whatever’s clever- I still get to type stuff for your reading “enjoyment”. I like to think the pictures turned out a little better this time around…

This week I saw The Receiver, Maserati, Brainbow (twice), The Exceptionals, Ill Fits, Frustrations, Psychedelic Horseshit, Bad Flirt, Town Monster and The Back Up.  I also attended the Baby Bonanza.

How much of it do I remember? FIND OUT AFTER THE JUMP- INTERNET FUCK YEAH!!!! Continue reading

A whole bunch of words and “pictures” after the jump! INTERNET! Continue reading
