Propagandhi at the Highline Ballroom

Another day, another trip to the Big Apple. This time, however, the objective is leisure...well, if you can really get away with calling high-energy thrash punk "leisure." The following is my Captain's Log, as originally posted on Twitter.

March, 12th
12:43 pm
Familiar territory: lack of sleep on I-80 E. Aw yeah. NYC twice in one week. Propagandhi & Paint It Black tonight at the Highline Ballroom!

1:20 pm
Holland Tunnel?? Shit, we gotta piss!

3:02 pm
An Arabic man just saw my dick in Brooklyn. A fine moment in public urination.


5:14 pm
Gotta plug my favorite coffee shop in Manhattan: Fika on 41 W 58th St. It's fancy, so cross your legs & sip that latte with your pinky up.

5:36 pm
Clogged a toilet at the 5th Ave Apple store with this bad girl...


8:18 pm
If Amanda Blaine doesn't hurry up and wipe her ass at Asian Bistro, we're gonna miss the concert.

8:23 pm
Follow-up on Amanda Blaine's shitting habits: she clogged the Asian Bistro! We're takin' over this two-bit town one toilet at a time!

9:38 pm
A stage dive from a large-bodied man bent my pinky back during Paint It Black's 1st song. Retaliation against my last 8 Bella Morte shows? Karma? Ouch.

10:32 pm
Up front for Propagandhi. Things are "aboot" to get real hairy...

March 13th
12:56 am
Paint It Black were intense. Propagandhi, fucking amazing. They played "Hallie Sallasse, Up Your Ass" & "Anti-Manifesto"?? No way, dude...

1:07 am
Sharing an air mattress with Yetti in Brooklyn. He's snoring. If he gets any louder, I'm gonna shove four dry fingers up his ass.

10:54 am
10:54 am and I'm still on this air mattress. A good night's sleep for once? I owe it all to Yetti's rythmic snoring. Coffee mission!

12:37 pm
Killing two birds with one bathroom.


5:22 pm
"Tourist attraction of the day"
or...
"Hate: Manhattan style"


Yep, that's true poo.

11:26 pm
I take it back...THIS is the tourist attraction of the day...no, of ALL TIME.


"Man bursts into flames and dies while riding bicycling on NY's Long Island..."

March 14th
1:48 am
On our way back to Horseheads. We've been lost for an hour in North Jersey--the armpit, butthole & syphilis ridden crotch of the East coast.

6:23 am
I'm home. Less than 3 hours before work. Work for 13 hours. I dream of coffee.

This was the most satisfying show I've attended in years. It's a good thing too, because I chose this l'il event over a Morrissey concert. Furthermore, I've been meaning to read Hegemony or Survival for awhile now--and something about those angry Canucks inspired me to begin reading it mere hours after they walked off stage.

Check out Propagandhi's new album, Supporting Caste...it's a doozie!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

This past Monday, I was an extra in an episode of Wainy Days. The following micro-sized journal entries from my adventure were originally posted on Twitter. So, kick back, lube up your ring finger and stimulate your inner asshole to this enchanting tale of friendship, love, betrayal and abusive sexual conquest...

March 9th

12:44 am
Driving solo to NYC. GPS says arrival time is 3:54am. Then 1 hour of sleep before a 1 hour commute & an all day shoot. Switch rad.

1:41 am
1st fast food in years. Double quarter pounder from a truckstop MickyD's. Saving my stockpile of organic PB sammichz for NYC. Savin' that $.

2:18 am
Restaurant review: highway McDonalds. DBL QTR CHEESE was a l'il greasy. Guilt lingering. No napkins...but thanks for the free coffee, baby.

3:03 am
Just entered Dirty Jerz. That dirty burg from MickyD's ain't sittin' too purty in my belly. I wanna barf. Another hour of driving to go...

3:49 am
The men & women of Rockaway can suck the piss out of my dick for those false "24 hour gas station" signs they have up on I-80 East.

4:04 am
My arrival time is now four twenty fucking nine A.M...BUT, a male gas station attendent just called me "hun"...that's what I call service!

4:24 am
Can one Twitter in the Holland Tunnel?

4:27 am
...yes, Apparently one can.

5:08 am
Arrived at destination. Time for my shitty nap.

8:07 am
Fuck that one hour commute...I'm takin' a cab.

8:41 am
Called for my cab at 8:06..."be there in 4 mins"...only took him 32! I stepped in dog shit & it's officially all over the back of his seat.

9:26 am
In the "camoflauge couch room" aka: the "extras lounge." Mr. Wain said he was bringing coffee...now where the fuck is it!?

2:12 pm
Lack of sleep is catching up to me. Yawns are exploding from every orifice. Nothing like a big wardrobe change to fix that...

2:26 pm
Not enough time for a wardrobe change. Got only 60% of my hair & makeup done...but I'm still gnarrin' it harder than these other dopes.

4:07 pm
If David Wain offers you the rest of his fajita...you take it. If his used fork is still sticking out of it...you use it.

7:05 pm
That's a wrap on Wainy Days episode 30!

7:31 pm
Brooklyn buses smell like piss.

8:00 pm
I accidentally used an extra 50 cents boarding this bus. It's my way of saying "thanks for not wiping the blood off this bar I'm touching."

10:35 pm
Coffee mission. Then I'm blowing this Hep B infested pop stand!

March 10th

12:45 am
iTunes just released the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album (a month early)...a fine way to cap off a NYC trip. Highway iPhone fantasitca.

1:33 am
I am the ONLY car on I-380 North (and South, for that matter). Where is everyone? Did Ohio launch a nuclear attack on Pennsylvania?

4:19 am.
Home sweet Horseheads. 29+ hours of madness with only 2 short naps...time to hibernate. Keep your eyes peeled for Wainy Days #30!

Venomous snake preying on defenseless mouse.
