I never make the typical thank you posts promoters make after shows. I usually like to move on once the show is done. However, our show last night was one of my favorites we’ve done in recent years.
I considered canceling it when the last venue shut down while my dad first entered the hospital. But thanks to the guys in extortion cellar and ritual mass, we were able to re-locate the show so I could be there for my dad in his final weeks. Once my dad passed the thought of going to a show while consumed with the most intense grief of my life seemed nearly impossible. But I reminded myself that I started going to shows at 11 years old, and this has been my life for more years than I was living before punk and metal.
I just want to thank everyone who played, and our community for showing up early and staying until the end. It brought me comfort to see so many old friends last night and to watch strangers lose their mind in the pit. I couldn’t be happier with the turn out, the sets that were played and the overall vibe.
Thank you everyone, especially to Erica for providing the sound. We will definitely have more shows at the rock room. But for now we’re taking a little break to catch up on print work and recover from the recent loss in our family.
