Strapping Young Lad

… Went to go see a killer band — Strapping Young Lad — last night at The Pound, a little metal club out in Dogpatch/Hunter’s Point/Bayview/whatever it’s called nowadays. I haven’t been to a clubin years…Lots of metal twenty-somethings, a mosh pit, a surprising amount of thirty-somethings, and lots of blonde hair.

It was an amazing loud powerful show. Devin was right on last night, the vocals were incredible, and the band was very tight. The crowd was very into it – it’s amazing looking out at the crowd and realizing that everyone is singing along to the songs.

I took 4 rolls of film with my Lomo, we’ll see how they came out.

I forgot my ID at home, and so I had to show my Costco card to get the tickets from Will Call – it was the only photo ID I had. When I told the
bouncer putting on drink bracelets that I didn’t have my ID, he leaned over in my ear and yelled over the music,”WHO PLAYED THE BEAVER?”
I yelled back, “JERRY MATHERS!” “NO 20 YEAR OLD WOULD KNOW THAT — HAVE A GREAT TIME!”

I got my drink ticket.
