Run With The Hunted 12.05.10

2010-12-07T09:22:00.000-08:00

My day started off pretty mellow, with no plans but to go to the show later on that night. Before I made my way to the Black Lodge, my girlfriend and I got something to eat and cruised around downtown killing time. Upon arriving at the venue, I could tell right away that it was going to be a good show, with good people. I like the Black Lodge, the people who run it are legit, and the sound system has improved considerably over the last couple of years.

I was excited to see all of the bands for a change, especially Breaga Naofa (first show) & Olde Ghost; two new and up and coming bands consisting of ex members of reputable bands that had broken up a few years back. (BREAGA NAOFA: Love Is Red, November Group, Wait In Vain. OLDE GHOST: Himsa, Everything Went Black).

While looking over the merch tables, I noticed a vegan bake sale put on by the Seattle Animal Defense League. The bake sale was an effort to raise money for the Precious Life Sanctuary. If I hadn’t just eaten a bunch of vegan treats before arriving at the show, I would have been all over those treats. By the end of the show I did manage to stuff my face with at least one delicious cookie though. It was awesome! Thanks Ego.

Seattle Animal Defense League

Breaga Naofa opened up the show. Taking nods from several styles of Hardcore, the sextet played two songs totaling a nineteen minute set. Whoa! BN right off the bat reminded me a lot of Fall of Efrafa from the United Kingdom, heavy in an almost crust kind of way kinda like Tragedy & Protestant and ambient in an ISIS or Neurosis vein. Three guitarists make for a very loud band.

Breaga Naofa

Olde Ghost was up next. Bringing to the table an Eighties Hardcore (ala Black Flag) kind of feel, they had two singers, a male and female. Drawing from Punk and Hardcore with like-minded members, they played an energetic set of short fast songs.

Olde Ghost

Envision was great as usual, drawing from 90’s Hardcore influence... the Bellinghamers hammered out a passionate set. Fall Silent comes to mind when ever I see this band, its nice to hear bands play 90’s style Hardcore rather than the Metalcore crap that gets shoved down everyone’s throat these days.

Envision

Not Sorry, once again brought their classic Youth Crew, Straight Edge style to the table. Standing firm to their “Fuck Bar Culture” motto, they hammered out a quick set throwing in a Minor Threat cover for good measure. The in between song banter reminded me of going to shows back in the early 90’s, back when there was a zine culture, spreading the word of Vegan and Vegetarian lifestyles.

Not Sorry

Last but definitely not least was Run With The Hunted. Finishing their tour as a quartet (their second guitarist, Ian, had to head home in the middle of tour) RWTH brought it and played a passionate set. Compared to the last time they came through Seattle, I could tell they had their new songs dialed in to a T. Raging hardcore, full of sing-a-longs. The floor was moving as voices joined together singing along with Drew’s melodic screaming. I had anticipated that they would play a good set and I was not disappointed.

Run With The Hunted

Shows such as this one are the epitome of what I miss from the pre-myspace/facebook era. Where people came together on an underground level, spreading the word via handbills and posters etc.

All in all, this was a great show.

Smugglers Run 2010 Orcas Island

2010-09-05T02:39:00.000-07:00

It had been years since I had been up to Orcas Island, I was excited. The last time I was there my old band Section One played the grand opening for the Scott Stamnes Skate Park, that was a wild weekend. For years after Benny would hit me up at work "Dude, You Have To Go With Us To Orcas This Year", he had been going up for four years in a row and every year I was too busy with work to go. This year was different, everything fell into place and I was able to go. Here is our story...

Smugglers Run 2010...

The wait for the ferry...

These have to be some of the ugliest birds that I have ever seen...

Arriving At Orcas Island...

The hike in to the camp site was brutal, we made the decision to take our supplies and gear all in one trip, not sure if that was a good idea, but we did...

Obstruction Pass camp site was awesome, we set up camp and headed over to the point (A section of rock that protruded out in to the Ocean) just on the outer side of our camping site...

Mountain Lake Day II

Dan on the Rope Swing...

Eric G. on the Rope Swing...

The Rope Swing was awesome, all though I managed to strain muscles in my neck and shoulders (another down side to hiking everything in one trip to the camp site) when I went off it. It was worth it...

Casade Lake Day II

This was the best swimming spot that I have ever seen, on the way to this spot we stopped at the local store and bought floaty's (Cheep inter-tubes) that kinda looked like the side of a tire, one side was missing the letter L in it so it read Ve osity instead of Velocity, it made for a good laugh...

Obstruction Pass Camp Site Day III

My hammock ruled, best purchase I've ever made and yes I brought a tent too. Both nights I fell asleep to Sea Lions cackling in the distace and Whales slapping their tails in the water, it was relaxing to say the least...

Krysten sprained here ankle the night before on a rock, so in the middle of the night Brent & I scoured the woods for a walking stick, as Brent found one I encountered a Raccoon, it ran up a tree ten feet from me and starred me down. I walked the other way with my machete in tow. Both days we encountered Deer and Chipmunks in our site, by the time I got my camera out they would vanish to quick to get a picture...

Breakfast was great, both days, Dan can cook like a maniac...

Homeward bound...

Goonies Or Bust 2010 Oregon Skate trip W/ Clay, Benny, Johnny & Myself

2010-09-04T15:17:00.000-07:00

First two hours in to the trip we stopped by a Speedy Shack gas station in Kelso Washington, it had a huge rooster for a mascot on top of the roof. Johnny & Clay made some impulse buys... (Gnarly energy drinks, one that smelled like hair spray, the other taste like Pennies and Nutrasweet). Next destination, the Oregon border. We drove over a very sketchy bridge that didn't feel safe at all, very high and two lanes only. Upon arriving at the hotel in Astoria we encountered a family of Raccoons, mild mannered little fellas. Climbing in and out of the trash can at the entrance as if it was their own little McDonalds. After checking in Benny and I went on a nature walk with a tall boy in tow, found a path behind the hotel that led us to the beach. Great view, the bridge was lite up well and the tide was out which made for a nice looking landscape. (One of the cars parked in front of the hotel)

The next morning we climbed out of our slumber and headed down for some continental breakfast(the best I have ever had, then again I don't stay at hotels that often). Now it was time for some Goonies action.
The Goonies house was cool but weird, they definitely made it look different in the movie. Right as we showed up we encountered a deer at the front of the house, looked like a figurine at first until it moved. The Jail house was cool,

picked up some souvenirs, checked out the museum and headed for the car. on the way we stopped at a store where some crazy local harassed Benny for a cigarette, they guy had no windshield and a old bike helmet on, I guess meth does a body good in Astoria. After the downtown excursion we headed for Seaside. The park was fun but awkward, as well as over rated. Johnny took a spill during his first run and unbeknown to us at the time, fractured his elbow. After that we headed to the local skate shop (the best one on the whole trip)where the owner had his personal collection of old Skateboards displayed on the upper wall.
(Johnny bought this one)

We drooled a bit then headed for Cannon Beach.
(Faking a fall above Cannon Beach)

Home of the phallic rocks that are in Goonies.

Rolled by the park and before we could drop in we were kicked out for not having helmets on. Not motivated enough to go back to the car to get em we opted to head to Lincoln City. We stopped by a coffee shop and met this cat, he was awesome, purred so loud. Sounded like a bird, we almost stole him. Next stop Lincoln City.

I had heard a lot of stories from friends over the years, about this park, seen pictures, video and so on, and upon arriving at the park I was shocked as well as humbled by the sight. No wonder why people have been airvaced out there. Everything was enormous. Mark 'Red' Scott & Co. are definitely Mad Scientists when it comes to building Skate Parks. After a 45 minute session we went on the prowell for some grub. First attempt was a place called Simbas, enticing from the outside ridiculous from the inside. So we headed for the Casino, down the way. The food was expensive but delicious none the less.
(the view from our table)

After we grubbed Johnny & I hit up the slot machines where I lost two dollars and Johnny won fifty. Broken and full, we hit the road. Destination Battle Ground Skate Park. On the way I had fallen for a few minutes and jerked awake and elbowed Johnny in his broken elbow, the car swerved and for a second, leaving Johnny in more pain then he needed. Clay & Benny laughed for twenty or so minutes, it apparently looked funny from the back seat. Battle Ground was great, huge street course, lights till eleven pm tons of tranny.

By far the funnest park of the trip and the last one. We skated the park till the lights were turned off on us and then drove home early, since Johnny was in so much pain. Good times.
