This is what happens. You get on the bus to go to work and your stop is by Waterloo Park. You get off at Waterloo Park and suddenly there are all these skinny dudes in mohawks trying to find a parking spot for their 2000 model VW Beetles. So you take a minute to watch as they try and try and try to parallel park and that's when you realize that they're only probably 16 years old. Then the kid gets out with his girl and the girl is about your age and both of them are wearing torn skinny jeans from Goodwill and a brand new Ramones shirt from Hot Topic and you realize, as the light and airy sounds of Bad Brains wafts up from across the street, that not only is the girl the kids mom, but if you had a gun on you now would be a good time to splatter your brains on Red River.

Of course I didn't go to Fun fun Fun Fest. Even working two jobs, I can't afford such trivialities and that, trza, is what makes me so uniquely punk rock and everyone who did go a bunch of posers. For real too, all the good bands playing and the rundown includes Octopus Project? LAME! Anyone that wants to see that turd turd turd fest can do so any night they want. Why bother?

Wow, that is so unaustinist of LM. I thought the highlights of the festival were most definitely the less well-known artist, Tim Fite should have and could have rocked Stage 1, and also, on Sunday, J*Davey and the I Heart Comix crew's set was pretty stellar.

If Fake Empire makes you think of your ex-girlfriend I'd suggest wiping that tear from your eye and giving the song another listen.
