The Boredoms and straight gin

I went to Seattle to watch The Boredoms last night. Holy hell. Amazing.

The setup was 5 members with drum kits, and behind the lead singer, he had a 7-necked guitar, which he would sometimes turn around to hit with his drum sticks, and play the aforementioned 7-necked guitar. Plus lots of screaming.

Kris bought me a "double whiskey sour", which turned out to be straight gin. I decided it was too awful to sip, so I slammed back the glass, and proceeded to have it kick my ass. The first half of the show was worth the drive though, border hassles included.

The border police were very thorough, and asked if any of us had ever been handcuffed. Ugh...
