Going on Sunday, at the Congress Theater (aka hell on earth)

I don't know half the bands there (probably 90%)

Just going because of the ALL reunion

Scott Reynolds singing, fronting the band for the 1st time in 20 years. Of all the band reunions that could be taking place, I'd never have thought this one would be happening.

I saw them once w/ Chad Price on vocals and while not bad, I have a feeling this is going to be incredible.

Unfortunately the only other band I really "know", Mighty Mighty Bosstones, are going on at 5pm and ALL is the last band at like 9:30. So I have to wade through some other crap, hopefully some of it will be interesting.

I'll be at the Friday night HoB show for The Bouncing Souls and Lawrence Arms. I'm 17.

All = Good
Bosstones = Good
Mustard Plug = Good

Sounds like a good time... too bad I won't be able to attend.

ALL is amazing. I hope they play some old Descendants songs

The Methadones are solid power pop, led by former Screeching Weasel bassist Dan Schafer (Danny Vapid).

That's totally punk rock.

This event was planned horribly. Who would have guessed?

Everything was running late and ALL got their mics and instruments cut off in the middle of a song. Terrible. I'd be embarrassed if I was the promoter. If you're running late you trim some other set times or do whatever you have to do; but the headliner should get their full set.

Granted, I was shit hammered, but Friday night's event went relatively smooth. Excellent set lists from both the Souls and Arms...but no "Manthem". Denied!
