my bud matt won a pair of tickets through his work lottery to game one, round one of the playoffs at msg.

pretty swank digs. i thought it’d be something like the 300 or 200 rows, but it turned out to be in a private box with these guys. apparently one of them worked in matt’s office.

the rangers dominated the entire game. the shots may have been even, but the most chances came from ranger slip ups. hank lundqvist was on point the whole game pretty much. first goal was a fuck up, and the second was a pretty good play by the senators.

it was a bit weird up in that box. matt and i were in regular guy clothes, a black alternate jersey and a denim powell peralta patched jacket, so it felt a bit out of place.

great game though. i played with pockets at a bar on long island for game two and everyone there was watching on a giant tv. they ended up losing in OT and then while i was on stage they replayed the highlights of the loss over and over. they were trying to make me slip up, that bar. anyway. game one ruled. thanks to matt.

the halloween at beery’s went down a week or two ago and it was a good time. when we showed up there was karaoke going on with the locals which was painfully full of off key notes and feedback. mikey, who was dressed as a lady, took the mike and did some song from like 2003 or something. it was hilarious

the breeders, which i was a part of, was slotted to play first. we did and it was a good time. yes, the gals forgot some of the words in cannonball and we played it a little long but it was cool. i had a lot of fun doing it and it definitely increased my appreciation for the breeders because their songs are way more complicated than they seem

matt turned up in grandpa clothes, so basically his normal clothes hiked up slightly higher. he got some hair spray, eyebrows and a mustache and was done

lee ann had the cholo thing going on, it was damn good

this is us after our breeders set. laura, rachel, me, and anna

here are the fellows that did fugazi dressed as seinfeld characters. it wasn’t until tim walked in that you really understood the rest of the characters but once you did it was great

here’s duncan as hank williams. he sure did that shit well. he’s good with a guitar and no one else

the skull crusher guys did dag nasty, here’s hugo as brian baker. he’s got a samhain shirt on which is fitting because brian baker played on the first record… i wonder if that was his intent. skull crusher had both guitarists dressed like brian baker, that was great. too much stuff off of wig out at denko’s for me taste but it was a tight set. special note about this photo: look at doug’s juggalo costume in the back. that is mainly why i took this photo. me and andre couldn’t stop laughing every time we looked at him from across the room

the agent guys doing a really tight and well done fugazi set. seeing conor try and sing was funny, but the rest was really good

the members of boogie brains closed out the night with a misfits set. that was terrific. they even had the stand up bass going. it was super fitting to  have brittany as danzig cause she’s so tiny

here’s dre fist pumping along

joey ramone made a special appearance during the set and they did a ramones set. the worst part of the night was getting home super late but overall it was a good time. i love halloween.
