Sorry Anthony, I completely forgot to give you photo credits!

Friday is actually the 20th, so sorry for any confusion on that.

I would have taken more pictures but my camera ran out of batteries as it so often does.

Great photos, quotes and story. Professional as always. Sounds like a cool place and I'm glad they were able to get in a better facility.

Thanks. It's pretty tough to maintain objectivity when reviewing one of my favorite bands. Didn't get many usable pictures since there was a 6'3", mop topped indie kid standing right in front of me.

The new single can be heard here: http://www.imeem.com/minusthebear/music/3uCtTqaa/minus-the-bear-into-the-mirror/

The only thing I will say is that sampling has been an integral part of hip-hop since its very beginning. If The Sugarhill Gang never used an instrumental version of "Good Times," we wouldn't have "Rapper's Delight." And where would the genre be without that track?

I completely forgot to give Jonathan Mendick credit for his awesome photos!

It was a pretty good party. Bowling, white russians and what have you. There were no rugs so the room was not tied together, which was a bummer, man.

A Cloud costume. Nice! What was the sword made out of? You definitely gave a great account of the event. It must have been a memorable experience for someone who is not into that scene. Did the convention make you curious about anime and the culture? Also, your pictures are wonderful, Anthony. The colors are very vibrant and richly detailed. Did you put some more on Flickr?

Did the Broadway style of the play seem hampered by the intimate nature of the Music Circus?I'm kind of curious if it translated well because the original show is so big. Also wonder if they made any significant changes to the performance.

How long is the team contracted in Sacramento? I actually didn't know much about the history, especially that they were from Vancouver. Hopefully they'll stay here for awhile.

Thanks to Brian McKenna for hooking me up once again! He got me into the High on Fire show and gave me the ability to contact Early Times on short notice. All around awesome promo guy.

Wow, that's a lot of people coming into the museum! I wonder what the average number is when there is not a large exhibit like this. Have you been to it yet?

Yeah, it's great to see that a legend like KRS-One isn't too big to come out and help people in need. He certainly practices what he preaches. Guess that's why the call him "The Teacher."

Man, bummed I'm going to be in L.A. for the last one. This sounds like so much fun! How did they lure Bruce Campbell from his presumably pimped out pad to appear in 2001?

Thanks for the kind words. I had never been to Harlow's before and I was really surprised they played such a classy place. I don't know what the capacity is, but the entire standing area was packed shoulder to shoulder. Early Man killed as I expected them to. My only gripe was that they mostly played stuff from their two EPs and not from their full length, Closing In, which is one of my favorite metal albums of the past few years. They've been catching a lot of flack for the whole "hipster" thing, but I don't think that's any fault of theirs. Red Tape totally surprised me. My friend and I watched them warm up when the place was pretty much empty and they seemed promising. When they finally started, though, they lived up to my expectations and more.

This movie sounds similar to High Fidelity in feel and concept. Would I like it if I enjoyed that film? Also, the soundtrack looks pretty solid.

I had no idea HIgh on Fire were playing tomorrow. Saw them in Eugene a few years ago and they killed. And they're with Early Man to boot!
