I got to the last night of shows just as the first band hit the stage at The Bottom of the Hill, where Lawrence Arms was headlining. Bomb The Music Industry was top bill over at Thee Parkside.
The truth is I barely made it to this show. I'm not a big Lawrence Arms fan, and after four shows and an A's game and Alkatraz in four and a half days I was about ready to start uploading all the discs I had collected on the trip. I knew though that to miss the last show was to miss ... well the last show but I'm nosatalgic so it was a necessity.
The bands were all good, but I forgot the camera and the info is of the Asian Man Facebook site so I can only remember that Spraynard, Short Round, and Chollo Ghetto played before the Lawrence Arms.
You could see the exaustion in the crowd that had been to most of the same shows I had been to throughout the week. Pits were sparce, and movement was at an all time low.
I thought Brendan Kelly ended the festival right when he said, "That was our last song, now go get some sleep."
Don't worry if you follow War On Music this is the last you will hear of the ASIAN MAN RECORDS 15TH ANNIVERSARY EXTRAVAGANZA.
