They have no problem putting on bands that have mom and dad drive them to the gig, have never used a PA before, and are totally naive. Sometimes they pull it off, sometimes it sucks big time. But over the years, there have been some killer Fort Reno shows.

Fort Reno is fun, it's a good place to chill in the summer, good sunsets. Many a good summer evenings have started out at Fort Reno. The acoustics do suck and Ian McKaye might be pretentious and PETA may try to boycott the ice cream truck. All in all it's a good establishment, glad to live near it, see it every day. I was wearing a Ft. Reno shirt the first time I kissed a girl. alright. sure beats black cat and their drawn on sideburns and thick rimmed glasses, slow service for vegan food.

I think they're going to play at the final Pageninetynine shows May 23 & 24. Big shows they will be; pg99, darkest hour, city of caterpillar, pig destroyer, crestfallen, strike anywhere. A deserving farewell to Sterling's finest.

it was a sad sad day when i found out that pg99 was breaking up. where are the shows going to be? and about the Ft. Reno deal - that is when i first saw Q and not U, and although i knew that they were good, i just wasn't impressed. And walkman, step in line for Black Eyes! I Fell in love with them last summer (ironically at ft reno)

I've been impressed the times I've seen Q and Not U. I fell for Black Eyes when I saw them play after Aereogramme last summer at that Studio show. (Though I don't think I can match the devotion of formerly-happy-couple Paige and Walkman…) I think they were playing Black Eyes songs Friday night between the Tone and Oxes sets.

My vote goes to Et At It (who coincidentally also played at the Black Eyes/Rapture show).P.S. Paige, I didn't mean what I said about whats-his-face. He's a very nice rat-bastard scrawny punk. *Sniff* he's lucky to have you…*completely breaks down and puts "Closer" on repeat*

The singer from Black Eyes, if that is who youâ??re talking about is quite the scrawny bastard. At Ft. Reno that boy couldnâ??t fill his Dickies, and Dickieâ??s are already quite the ass-less pair of pants.
