Sounds like a cool place and I'm glad they were able to get in a better facility. Greg Majewski 2009-11-10T00:41:17Z Greg Majewski comment-17061 2009-11-02T20:43:50Z 2009-11-02T20:43:50Z 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.

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?

There were no rugs so the room was not tied together, which was a bummer, man.

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?

Also wonder if they made any significant changes to the performance.

I actually didn't know much about the history, especially that they were from Vancouver. Hopefully they'll stay here for awhile.

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.

I wonder what the average number is when there is not a large exhibit like this. Have you been to it yet? Greg Majewski 2009-08-12T20:12:33Z Greg Majewski comment-11930 2009-08-11T21:19:11Z 2009-08-11T21:19:11Z 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." Greg Majewski 2009-08-11T21:19:11Z Greg Majewski comment-11924 2009-08-11T20:58:01Z 2009-08-11T20:58:01Z 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? Greg Majewski 2009-08-11T20:58:01Z Greg Majewski comment-11918 2009-08-11T20:44:00Z 2009-08-11T20:44:00Z 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.

Would I like it if I enjoyed that film? Also, the soundtrack looks pretty solid.

Saw them in Eugene a few years ago and they killed. And they're with Early Man to boot! Greg Majewski 2009-08-07T21:41:13Z Greg Majewski comment-11644 2009-08-06T22:08:17Z 2009-08-06T22:08:17Z One thing I would love to get people's opinions on is Sacramento's growth in general. I've lived here all my life and seen the city transform from a reasonably large area with a small town feel to a city on the verge of hitting the next phase of its evolution. It would be great to hear what a varied group of residents think of the changes. Greg Majewski 2009-08-06T22:08:17Z Greg Majewski comment-11640 2009-08-06T21:57:59Z 2009-08-06T21:57:59Z I was surprised at the fire thing as well. You'd think the last thing you would want a shoeshiner to do is to set your foot on fire. Is it some sort of chemical reaction with the polish? Greg Majewski 2009-08-06T21:57:59Z Greg Majewski comment-11635 2009-08-06T21:17:28Z 2009-08-06T21:17:28Z The link between the Bay Area and Sacramento hip-hop scenes definitely needs more press, so it's good to see it getting some attention with this article. Random story: My friend and I were walking around downtown Eugene a few weeks before I graduated and we saw a huge line of people in front of the WOW Hall (one of the town's few all age venues). Ends up Too Short was supposed to perform that night but got stranded in Alaska and never showed. Everyone in front of the venue looked pretty disappointed. I don't think he had an opener or anything on that night either and the crowd just got their money back.

Greg Majewski 2009-08-06T21:02:01Z Greg Majewski comment-11630 2009-08-06T20:57:11Z 2009-08-06T20:57:11Z It's great to see profiles on local musicians. Sacramento has a sorely underrated music scene. The fact that he has had so many ups and downs is inspiring and there is definitely potential for a longer feature on his experiences in the music business. Greg Majewski 2009-08-06T20:57:11Z
