POST DISTORT VANCOUVER SHOW @ THE ASTORIA

First off, thanks to every motherfucker who came out. Except for one dude from Edmonton. WOLF BRIGADE killed it, as did every other band. There's a lot of sentimental shit i'd like to say about the scene, distort, the punks, etc... But right now i'm feeling the impending clutch of a long hangover, so i'll save this for later.
In the meantime, come to the Astoria at 769 E. Hastings.
Punk DJ's, and these bands:

ASILE
BISHOPS GREEN
HOOPSNAKE
KOSZMAR

AND POSSIBLY OTHERS

$5. show starts at 9pm.

bullshit bullshit fucking bullshit

Noon sharp at the Alf House is: WARCRY, MIDNITE BRAIN, FRENZY, SYSTEMATIK.
THEN AT Funky Winkerbeans:
DOORS 230PM
SHOW 3PM

CRIMSON SCARLET 3PM -320PM
OUST 330PM - 350PM
DERAS KRIG 4PM-420PM

3 day bracelets still work to get in, as well if you got a band for yesterday.
We're still making punk fucking happening in this city, despite total fucking shit heads (the 1% of punks in this city, even though this tard is Albertan).
Cheers Wendythirteen Thrashers for saving us.
Also, tomorrow will be all local bands that didn't get to play at the Astoria Hastings, plus other bands who haven't split town yet.
OKAY. DISTORT. FOR THOSE LOOKING AT THE INTERNET RIGHT NOW. WARCRY, FRENZY, AND TEROKAL ARE ABOUT TO PLAY AT FUNKY WINKERBEINS. IF YOU HAVE A DISTORT WRIST BAND, IT'S FREE.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WOLF BRIGADE WILL PLAY ZOO ZHOP, AND MOST LIKELY OUST AND CRIMSON SCARLET.
TOMORROW, NOON SHARP AT THE ALF HOUSE (OUTSIDE): WARCRY, FRENZY, MIDNITE BRAIN, SYSTEMATIK.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER, ALL REMAINING OUT OF TOWN BANDS, INCLUDING WOLF BRIGADE, WILL PLAY THE ASTORIA.
FUCK VANCOUVER. AND FUCK THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO SMASHED A WINDOW OF A BMW, HALF A BLOCK FROM ONE OF THE ONLY VENUES IN THE CITY THAT GIVES PUNKS A PLACE TO PLAY MUSIC AND HANG OUT.
I'M NOT ONE TO START INTERNET SHIT, BUT IF YOU KNOW WHO THIS ASSHOLE IS, LET HIM KNOW THAT THE PUNKS WON'T TOLERATE HIS GG ALLIN BULLSHIT.
Thanks to Wendythirteen Thrashers and David R, and The staff of Iron Road.
PS Please spread the word about these shows tonight/tomorrow.
