Hi Peter.

It's really nice to hear that bark haze came out quite nice. Can't wait, when you'll share recording. Will you put it on dime as well?

Thanks!

Hey everyone!!

Just got back to seattle last night. I had the flight from hell and going through US customs was FUCKED and I almost passed out in the airport from being awake for 24 hours BUT other than that I had a great fucking time!!!!!!!!

It was so nice seeing my friends again... you know who you are no need to mention names. :)
it was nice meeting sonic l, jon boy, green light moshe & IAIN :)

My favorite performances were (in order)
1. Bark Haze ( It was so good I almost peed my pants!! ( haha)
2. Nels & white out. ( I know lots of you missed it but you shouldnt have)
3. sonic youth ( i got the sat show that had the better set list besides playing teenage riot instead of shaking hell, but I did get the world looks red and they did sound really great)
4. sunburned hand ( first time seeing them and it was beyond amazing)

I also loved deerhoof, bardo, blood stereo and gang of four. and more..

I enjoyed chillin in the chelet watchin thurstons movie picks. downtown 81 was great.

One funny thing that happened: got back to the chelet, was very tired, turned on the TV right on time to see a close up of vincent gallos dick. UMM i was not expecting that... hehheh

other highlights were dancin.. ( especially the shoe dance) thanks tom. :)

my cam broke so I got no pics, but thankfully there have been some great ones posted.
I hope to see all of you again. :)

Dude, you're in one of the crowd shots at least...Bark Haze one I think. I am in a couple of the Sunburned/NNCK ones but only really vaguely. There's all sorts of board member action going on down the front of Bark Haze.

Did anyone get to see and enjoy Nurse With Wound at all?They might have been disappointing to some but they can't be as bad as Sunburned Hand Of The Man.

is anyone having problems with the pics on Ecstatic Peace? all i am getting is a small thumbnail

the reaction was priceless,

the horror of an unknown cock being fellatio ed, until i told you it was gallo and and you got all "Ohhh, *very interested* wow"

i had a great time, i didn't get caught in any queues, favourite bands were these:

nnck
new blockaders
dead c
stooges
mouthus
benink & brotzman
bardo pond
double leopards
wolf eyes
major stars
and more... the only things that i didn't like were white out & gustafsson/EYE.

cantankerous wasn't there

Dude, dope jacket.

I managed to get 2 pics before my cam dies... here they are!!

nice, I absolutely love that second shot naomi!

And I see that Lee and Thurston did the guitar "clash" once again. It's awesome seeing that one live!

download the viewer at the bottom beneath the thumbnails.
edit: plus don't forget your latest flash

Every time I read something new on this thread the memories it brings back make me wildly happy.

:D :D :D :D

Looks like everyone had a killer time.....thanks for all the stories and pics.

yeah it was a great weekend wasnt it.

yeah! some awesome pics here, i get mine back today, all 35mm alas but i'll scan any that actually come out
I suspect that taking a whole film from the second row during the stooges was kind of pointless, still you can never have too many blurry shots of flashing colour can you. reading all these posts totally brings it back how great it all was, which is a huge relief as i wasn't sure i could remember anything at all until tues night, pleased to recall that there's a slim chance i amused thurston on sat night when i found myself between him and the guys filming him. mild adversity with the queing but handled with grace and composure by all. next time is all about the chalet with the kitchen for me as i can't face another BK/pizza hut/fish and chips dinner decision but thats small beer really. pleased to hear that me and monkey-face weren't alone in suffering from inordinate sexual frustration, a cursory listen to the tapes reveals that it was a major preoccupation of our chalet for the entire weekend, is minehead on a lay line or something? i still ache, hope it was just the beds.

It's certainly going to take me a long time to forget it... I had so many insane good times...

I am now mourning the loss of all the bands that I wanted to see but had to miss because of scheduling... MCIAA, The Notekillers, Aaron Dilloway, Whiteout, Hair Police, Sun City Girls, Tarpis Tula, Fursaxa, Charalambides, Bardo Pond and Prurient!... would anyone care to share any thoughts on what I missed so that I can make a move towards completing my post Nightmare Before Xmas rehabilitation... thank you in advance!

Yes I enjoyed them... they didn't knock my socks off but I really liked what I saw... unfortunately I had to leave before the set finished because I wanted to see Ashtray Navigation play.

you should flog yourself mercilusly for missing them all! thats my advice.
