On a related topic, I have no idea what Mark Jenkins looks like, but I'd say the odds are very high that he was the middle aged guy standing near me, writing furiously on a notepad throughout the set.
Jenkins was there, as was another middle-aged reporter for some other news outlet. It was funny to see them both reading books in the back during Rustbuckit.

Seriously? That explains why Jenkins' column didn't even mention that there was an opener.

The best was when Nancy from The Juan MacLean called him out during their set, asking "Hey, how's the book?" in the middle of their set. I mean, he was sitting under a light, and no one was at the show, so he seemed out of place to begin with. Never read the review, so I don't know if that pissed him off. I can imagine – having reviewed more than a few shows in my time – that reading books at shows keeps him sane.

I don't know, that seems disrespectful. If he was some ordinary joe it wouldnt've mattered, but obviously people know he's a reviewer, and he's loudly proclaiming he doesn't give a shit about your band. He could've at least gone down to the Red Room.
On the other hand perhaps I'm biased against him for enduring as a City Paper reader many years of the unseemly boy-crush he had on Dischord/Positive Force, to the exclusion of all other aspects of the local scene…

How was Rustbuckit ? I like them, but I haven't seen them in a while.

They play something close to straight metal, which isn't my cup of tea. They did at least one BMB cover at the end (Downward Christian Soldiers) which was the part I enjoyed.
