 JANUARY came crashing through with 15 fucking shows! its full speed ahead for us now! LHC bands be squashin motherfuckers left

 and right. BRANKS, KINGPIN, and GOLGA played an incredible show at skullys to about 10 people HA HA HA HA HA!

 and THE HUSHER had an awesome show with TURING MACHINE from nyc, a killer instrumental 3 piece with blazing fast drums!

 ROBERT DUFFY and DONEWAITING crew had a successful benefit for THE RED CROSS TSUNAMI RELIEF which 333 was very

 proud to be a part of. and THE LHC SHOWCASE 2 blew down little brothers with our friends from zanesville OF NAILS AND SINNERS,

 a seriously tight and fast force to deal with, and our pals NEO NOTHING came down from lorain, dave in a cape and all, to save the day

 from the eye crossing punch in the face volume abuse in a dress 1POINT3!!!!!!, and just to have some fun crunching over broken bodies,

 we got a steamroller of a GOLGA show, complete with SKOTS chevy chase performance of the "bomb song" and final confirmation of

 golgas release of their singer brian green. thats right, theres a new voice of terror in the golga mix, and oddly enough, he comes from the

 same pizza joint as skot and brian. keepin it westerville, JOEL SEYMORE is the new voice of all things rediculous from the land of golga.

 hes taken over the position like you wouldnt believe! lungs from hell !!!!!!!!!!!!! and plenty to say!, except for some ol' favorites, golgas next

 show will be a whole new set!

 

 and oh yeah, new members in the LHC heh? if you were lucky, you got to see THE HUSHER play here and there as a trio, experimenting,

 being random, making the whole thing up, and it keeps getting better, cuz were on a fuckin roll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rodney riffle r.i.p.

 

 

 

10-31-04

I woke up today and just started walking.

 I enjoy walking.

It doesn't matter where I'm going to or coming from.

 I just like it.

I like the rhythmic way that shuffling feet almost make music.

I enjoy taking long walks real early in the morning along a busy street.

The cars pass by just the same, but there's really not anyone on the street

this time of the day.

I like walking home late at night after the drink's gone.

Most people are sleeping already.

Looking at the still flickering street light outside my home, I noticed.

Sometimes I walk alone.

It allows time for more solitary thoughts,

so easily hidden and buried by the events of my day,

to emerge and fill the foreground.

Other times I'd rather walk with friends.

It's nice to have someone there to talk with as the world strolls by.

Isn't it weird how life can be enhanced by the simple presence of a close friend?

 

Recently, while walking along my friend turns to me and says

"I'm tired. I don't feel like walking anymore."

"That's ok, we're almost there," I replied.

"No, you don't understand. I really don't feel like walking. I think I'll stop."

"That's ok, we're almost there."

 

...but it was too late.

 

He was just lying there on the sidewalk

Staring up into the sky.

He'd given up on walking.

Just like that.

Just gave up.

 

I didn't say a word. I just left him there.

Lying on the concrete staring up at some unaffected cloud.

"That's ok," I thought. "I'll finish this walk by myself.

After all, i'm almost there."

 

 

 

(Goodbye Nate)

 ballsfest was a great fucking time, i was hit! lots of alcohol and fire, and it didnt rain! all the bands were the shit, LOUD!!!!!

 critical hit, bohemian grove, of nails and sinners, kingpin, and golga, spewing metal destruction into the foggy country air, it was like the gates of hell blasting fire

 from the barn,

 the cops loved it at around 1am, hahahahaha

 so we burned a bunch of shit, got fucked up, camped out, skated, got more wasted, for two days and nights, and thanks to the ladies the world fell victim to

 SHADOWCOCK, a creation beyond description, just ask neelee, debbie, lesley and lindsay, you just may be schooled!

 oh yeah, and friday night, the evil queens fucked some shit up out at oldfields,go see em any time you can they are the shit! my hangover the next day was by far

 one of the worst in my history of gutwrenching, head pounding, woke up from a dead sleep to puke hangover morning, thanks evil queens, it works every time

 good thing i had two days of ballsfest to keep the alcohol level in my system at dangerous levels, nothing like being drunk in direct 90 degree sun and hitting the

 flat on the half face first a couple times, wakes you right up!

 thanks jball for the party, cant wait till next year
