Ft Reno '06

between amanda's talk before head-roc and the first 10 minutes of head-roc's set, that was the most i've been lectured to since college.

The issue seems to be with people who haven't been to college yet and probably could use a lecture.

yeah, i'm not complaining, just made me feel old. those kids don't know what they could be ruining. can't they at least get stoned BEFORE they come to the park? idiots.

well someone like, attempted to torch the porta potty a few weeks ago or something…or at least that's what appeared to be happening. what happened last night? i don't understand how it's difficult to just sit on the grass without any firearms for a couple of hours. whoever is being silly these days obviously hasn't learned to pre-game.

Some kid wrote an IM to his friend saying "Let's go smoke pot at Fort Reno tomorrow." The kid must be a moron, because his mom found it and called the police, who then called Ft. Reno people. Now, apparently, the police feel like they need to be more of a presence at the shows, and Ft Reno has to pay them to be there (I think 250 dollars a show) or risk losing the permit. They said if that goes on too long, the season will risk being cut short, simply because the funds aren't available.

It just pisses me off to no end. If you need to blaze that badly, just smoke up before the show.

yeah tell me about it…that is absolutely ridiculous.

Bunch of savages in this town.

I hope everyone here donates money to Fort Reno. At least buy a t-shirt or give them a few bucks next time you're at a show.

wait, the kid's mom just flat-out called the cops? instead of just confronting her kid?? wtf?! whose parents do that?!

I know! So messed up. I'm assuming there had been previous problems with that kind of thing, hence her freaking out. . but still, messed up.

Help the fort reno folks out by looking around. If you see kids sparking up or drinking, tell them to knock it the fuck off. that goes for the over 21s too.

seriously. what is the matter with you that you can't go without a drink for less than two hours.

Yes beat them up, because violence is the only solution to keep the show's free! It's TOTALLY worth it.

Shellac is Steve Albini's current band that has been sort of on again-off again over the last 15 or so years. They almost never play in DC.

Albini played with Big Black and Rapeman and has produced lots of music (Nirvana, Pixies and Mogwai come to mind, but he did lots of other stuff too).

Shellac's sound is abrasive, raw, hollow. Give 'At Action Park' a listen.

Yeah, I haven't been yet either. But really looking forward to the Evens. Maybe Mary Timony as well - depends, as I've seen her (solo and with Helium) about a million times. Who's this Shellac everyone's raving about?

Thanks for the info, matts. I'll check it out.

I say, instead of driving over to Fort Reno and wasting gas, those 2nd District cops should just stay at their usual battle station: the Exxon Tiger Mart four blocks down Nebraska, and wait for the potheads to come in with the munchies

Yeah – even I don't try to sneak a drink at Ft Reno….
