Sleepless Nights

Brawndo!

D4 @ BoTH!!!

Made it to BoTH at around 9:30pm. Packed house but surprisingly not sold out. The last opening band was playing (Riverboat Gamblers). Matt and I made our way up to about the middle of the venue next to the merchandise. Some guy bumps me from behind and almost knocked my beer out of my hand. It was Patty Costello bass player for D4 buying a record at the table. The merchants refused payment. They handed him a piece of cardboard, and he proceeded to draw an interesting sales sign to accompany the one that he had obviously drawn earlier.

They played a great set. A good mix of the new stuff and the classic D4 anthems. Patty was cracking me up with his signature banter. You could tell they weren't well rehearsed though, with some of the songs running really slow and sloppy.


Patty had some clippers and started shaving parts of his head and offered to give other people a hair cut too. Some girl with dready looking hair and another dude with shoulder length hair took him up on it. Then near the end, he wiped down his pants and started shaving his balls! These guys are so damn fun to see live!

Gang Shootings in My Hood Over the Weekend

There goes the neighborhood again. One 2 block from my house. Sucks!!!

"In the Mission District’s third homicide this year, two people were killed in a Sunday afternoon shooting at Papa Potrero’s Pizza at 24th Street and Potrero Avenue. Police believe the shootings are gang related.

Both victims were shot in the restaurant, according to witnesses. One died in the hospital and another died on 24th Street between Hampshire and Potrero, according to witnesses."
