Eh, I never update on a regular basis. I guess I will start now. Went to United Blood over the weekend, had sooo much fun. I haven't been to a fest in a while. Saw a ton of bands I love/ haven't listened to in years and it definitely reminded me why I love (and hate) hardcore. Too many good sets to name. Favorites were Rival Mob, Backtrack, Cold World (although I'm not a huge fan, that shit was wild), Death Threat, what I saw of Foundation, and of course Madball. I loved roaming around Richmond with my friends and boyfriend. Yeah I have one now. I made it back to Baltimore in time for Mindset's record release. Whenever there is a packed out CCAS you are pretty much guaranteed a good time. On that note I love Baltimore, so much. I get a little bored sometimes, but all in all.. good vibes, interesting characters*, awesome variety no matter you're into. I got into schools in Seattle, Virginia Beach, and Toronto.. but for some fucking reason I cannot bring myself to move out of Baltimore. The only reason I wanted to move was because I was unhappy and angry. I obviously should not have been making serious decisions under the influence of my Liberian temper. But it happened, and I blew a lot of money on application fees. So, I can't say that I'm moving or not.. I know as much as you do at this point. I have a lot to think about.
*Let me go on a rant real quick. Please note that I didn't just say "good dudes". There are so many things I would prefer than to be surrounded by "good dudes, backed hard." Seriously fuck that. Have flaws, depth, opposing opinions, and mood swings. There is nothing appealing about being "nice" to me. It means that you haven't rubbed anyone the wrong way... which means you haven't said enough. Don't get me wrong! There is nothing wrong with being kind, agreeable, friendly, and chill.. but I definitely appreciate the occasional brat, jerk, or shithead.
