I am thankful for the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. ~Nancie J. Carmody

Here is a half assed wrap up.

The Camera Broke, so while we're dealing with that, We got a youtube video.

and this here picture, swiped from White Mystery's facebook.

To be blunt, this year was fucking insane. We were surrounded by friends, and overwhelmed by visitors but we made it....bong in hand. Definitely more people around than last year, but suprisingly, we had only one case of someone being a total and complete moron AND a piece of shit (more on that NEVER). Everyone acted like real human beings and we THANK YOU for that. Big ups to: White Mystery, Davila 666, Personal e los Pizzas, Lee, Sean and Brian from our sister store BURGER RECORDS, Apache (and the bassists Dad) Johnny Matzah, Craig, Colonel Abe, PBR, Scion, Dolce Vida Organic Tequila and whoever else we're missing. SUPER BIG THANKS to Graham Low, Will Zech, Lyle Brooks and Nay Nay for helping keep things going well.

See you next year. Don't pee in the neighbors yard, Give us Our Pens Back

the camera broke. So here's some quotes from today. Names changed in hopes you won't ask about it later.

"Yeah, he's definitely a pussy, but the other guys don't wanna play with just two guitars and a bass" - dude

"You must put up with alot." - J.M

"I aint doin shit this year, Im only here untill the girl im fucking wants to leave" - dude with the right attitude

"Yeah, he sucks, and yeah, we hate him, but lets try not antagonizing and humiliating him. Let's just be nice to him so he'll go away and we can forget about eachother." - Dude with the right Idea

"They're like that New York band, Suicide, but if they were totally boring and fronted by parents who like to adopt." - You don't need to know

"So the theme this afternoon was 6 hours of bitches who think they can sing?" - Man

"I wish I was from california so I can live on top of a rainbow, piss lemonade, have a unicorn for a pet and smile." - resonable thinker.

"I like this band because she's convinced she's important and her music is delightfully ignorable." - Guess who.

"Where's Trailer Space?" - dumbass.

"The truth? of course I know Will Zech." - god.

Are you drinking water? DRINK WATER.

"I just wanted to make sure our first song can be called "white cock sucking angels"? Cool?" Brian Schmitz

Day 1. We're almost done with the tequila and the crusties are mad that we asked them to tip. Here is the rule about getting hooked up. 1. NEVER show up EXPECTING to get hooked up.
2. Free still means you should tip.
3. Fuck you, you're getting this for free.

Vaz. Men. Doing man shit. By Man Shit we mean rocking. Hard. With no complaints.

Shit and Shine. Doing man shit. By Man Shit we mean rocking. Hard. With no complaints.

From Left to Right. Maddux (from Del Rio), Roger Quintana and Miguel Quintana. These 2 browns (and one honorary brown) set up shop and cooked a bunch of food for DONATIONS ONLY. The reason, because they wanted to make sure that people visiting our city were fed. MEN.
ps. These guys cook bbq by trade, but they made vegetarian tacos and ACTIVELY SOUGHT to give them out to non meat eaters. Heart and Soul. Get into it.

Real ass motherfuckers. From left to right. John H (supporter), Brian S (instigator). the dude from What Made Milwaukee Famous (the dude from What Made Milwaukee Famous), Ish (who fucking rules) and Katherine S (the realest woman in town. Deal with it)

Mike is sad too that the tequila is gone for the day (he doesn't drink) See you tomorrow.

Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. - Jimmy Buffet

This is a closet full of beer. This means we're ready for SXSW. We even got a P.A. for the occasion WITH MONITORS for our cadre of artists. We're ready for the huddled, drunken masses. Armed with this beer and 42 bottles of tequila thanks to Dolce Vida Organic Tequila, we will welcome the world with open arms to our little galaxy of fun. We're going to throw things, lose our voices and blow shit up. Be sure to keep checking back here for daily updates on the shenaniganry that's going to be happening. It's going to be a good time. See the post before this one for our lineup. Be safe, take care of yourself, DRINK WATER SOMETIMES, have fun and above all else BRING BEER.

This is our sweet new sidewalk board, it was made for us by the amazing Mike Combs. You can check out his other artistic concerns at www.factoryreject.org
