LIghten Up, Stay Sharp and a bunch of other bands I've never heard of. 19th and Catharine St's THEN Weston @the Khyber.

Last night I rode down from Port Richmond to South Philly for this show. We show up at 7:15 and the show was supposed to start at 7 but no one had played yet. Typical. So we sat around watching the Flyers game, which they fucking won 3-0 and clinched a playoff spot!!!!, and made fun of people. There were some total babes there, mainly the girl Heather who lives there, and another babe who after saying she hated hockey, I told her she was ugly. So it goes.

Anyways Stay Sharp went on when there was about 5 mins left in the game so I missed 3/4 of their set. If their guitar player would have stayed plugged in they would have been great. Sorry Scott! Then after about 15 mins Lighten Up played. They sounded good even know Perry kept pulling the mic cord out of the PA all night long. We hung around for a bit afterwards and decided to head to Old City. I left the group and went to Govinda's and got a sweet fake chicken wrap then rode to the Weston show at the Khyber.

I got there just as the Ergs were finishing, which rules because that band sucks balls. I went in and immediately saw a ton of kids from 10 years ago. It ruled. Almost all of the crew from the 12th and Reed vs. 4th and Queen St wars were there. We all hung out caught up and had a blast, then Weston took the stage. Man I love this band. They played for like 2 hours which was way longer than needed. But they did play almost ALL of "Got Beat Up" which fucking ruled. They even played "heartbreak sandwich" which I have never once seen them play live before. This was easily the 30th time I saw them and even know they aren't young and hyper anymore, they were still alot of fun. There were some complete douchebags there but what can you do?
Push them halfway across the room so they smash their heads on the steps. Good Job Justin!!

Great night, Flyers in the playoffs, Good friends, and Weston. 
A+
