Slug short Philly trip

So back in 1994 on Octber 25th we went down to Philly to play a show

Some familiar faces, like Fuckface and Even More Gore

And a few new semi-new ones like Greg the Peg over here on the left and Potato Slims (not pictured)

Although we left at maybe 2:30 these lightweights passed out almost immediately.

We got to Philly in record time pretty much and had spare to kill.

This is the way we walk in New Yawk. BS Posse in effect in West Philly

As per usual we played only a few blocks from where Carlotta grew up. Don’t ask me why their hardcore scene now thrives in her former neighborhood because I don’t know, but it’s always weird to be there without her

We went over to the Ethiopian spot I first heard about 11 years ago (super weird) and decided to get some to go. This will have been the first time I tried this place too

After a long ass wait we got it to go and took it over to Clark Park on Baltimore. Baltimore seems to be the hub of the new West Philly or something

Drew brought his yoganess with him as per usual, and was mad at me and Andre for poppin off shots of him while he laid out his mat for a hot minute. We ate the food we got and it was delicious

Greg rocking the offensive and punk as fuck MDC shirt

After we hit up a mediocre record store and walked back to the van we headed to the show. Drew’s first question was “can I do yoga somewhere” to which the usual response is “umm.. what? yeah, probably. yeah I mean, why not?” So he hit up the roof deck

It looked straight out of a movie from a rooftop chase scene

and cool view of the downtown area from up there

Once dudes started loading in I noticed a Lee sticker on Budd Dwyer’s gear. Hit up a conversation and knew him well

Tour cats are always awesome, even if it wasn’t a tour I still consider them part of the sect

So War Emblem were the dudes behind getting us there that weekend. Our boy Steve plays drums for them. They were super awesome and let us borrow almost all their shit to make the trip easier on us.

They killed it. If you liked Born Against and No Reply you should consider them

Also we’re all now boys for life because these are some hockey men. Guitar player Joe got this ankle boot from playing.

Also Jordan was originally a Long Islander so we got that connection too

Their set was great, our was pretty sick too. People kinda went off which was fun

I hope we can play another show with these dudes up here in NY

Oh and last good sign: Bass player Andreas had these boss stickers made up: “There’s No Such Thing As Christian Hardcore” – damn fucking right

And as we got talking to Jordan at the end of the night we realized he looked exactly like Funds from the west coast / Shook Ones. Weird and uncanny. Anyways we had a great time. Thanks dudes. BSNY muthabitches
