| ____________________________ [Nov 2,2006 8:11am - pam ""] RTTP is the internet scumbag HQ. O'Briens is the real life scumbag HQ. They work hand in hand. |

| ________________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 8:13am - SacreligionNLI ""] my presence actually lessens the average of scumtitude on rttp and in real life true story |

| ___________________________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 8:56am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Gravewurm, Hekseri, Zircon, Martyrvore, NooseBomb |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 8:57am - RichHorror ""] Oh. Lame. |
| ____________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:02am - pam ""] I was totally looking forward to that. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:03am - RichHorror ""] Move it to the Skybar or some shit. |
| ____________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:05am - pam ""] That place sucks. Beer costs a fortune. |
| ____________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:05am - pam ""] And it's clean. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:06am - RichHorror ""] It's walking distance from my house. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:06am - RichHorror ""] I only care about myself. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:09am - BornSoVile ""] yeah, does this mean that all shows are off now? |
| ____________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:09am - pam ""] I'd go, but I'm car-barring. |

| ____________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:13am - pam ""] You'll be an aimless wandering shell of a human...like us. I have a couple good shots of you coming, Josh. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:16am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] pam said:I have a couple good shots of you coming, Josh. HEY, NOW! |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:19am - RichHorror ""] Man's gotta eat. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:52am - KillerKadoogan ""] But...but...does this mean O'brien's is going to look...like...clean and stuff? I don't know how I feel about this. And for those of you who will need comfort during this time of need, just go to that tattoo place next door and get some permanent eyelids and/or lips. Breakfast o' champeens. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 9:53am - shatteredliz nli ""] Yeah, just heard about this yesterday. We're deciding what to do with the return of Bostons' Dead. Looks like Jan 5 at OBs isn't an option. |
| ______________________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 11:11am - chris_from_shit_fuck ""] looks like we're done with shows until Febuary then cause O'Brien's is the only place we ever get booked. Oh well, I guess we can write some new material in the meantime. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 11:29am - the rooster ""] so is the show on the 9th cancelled? |

Oh well, I guess we can write some new material in the meantime. See I feel like OBs temporarily closing sucks in a way but is also a good thing - promoters arent gonna stop booking metal they're just gonna need to be aggressive about getting other venues to let them book metal. I hope. Or there could just be a whole lot less metal in Boston for a couple of months. It definitely sucks in terms of helping out touring bands though, because it was so easy to get an OBrien's date to hook up a touring band. |

I don't know how I feel about this. Yeah, it's not going to be the same O'Briens. The day it opens somebody needs to go in there and take a shit on the floor, just to give it back it's old mystique. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 2:15pm - RichHorror ""] Done. |
| ____________________________ [Nov 2,2006 2:44pm - pam ""] menstrual_sweatpants_disco said:pam said:I have a couple good shots of you coming, Josh. HEY, NOW! haaaaaah. Nice. I'm unhappy about a clean and repaired O'Brien's. I loved what a fuckhole that place was. |
| ___________________________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 3:50pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I’ll never forget my first O'Brien's experience. After an agonizing campaign to search for parking in an unfamiliar section of Allston, I approached the green-signed building and peered through the window. “Are these windows?”, I pondered. I thought windows were supposed to be translucent. I shook off the thought, putting my perplexities aside and approached the entryway. After all, time’s a wasting and there’s equipment to load in. I approached the thick door, gave it a mighty pull and took my first steps into a new world. Once inside, a malodorous wave of air hit my nose like a quick knee to the balls. A pungent waft of garbage and vomit overcame my senses and left me shaky-legged. Moments before straying from consciousness, I quickly regained control of the situation by distracting my mind with far more enchanting thoughts, like being at the dump or eating out my grandmother. Once my eyes regained focus, I gazed into the dark room. Two depressing barflies and a bartender were the only other souls sharing my misfortune. The bartender was engrossed with the cliché task of washing out glasses with a dirty rag and placing them on the counter. For a moment the place reminded me of an old western saloon, only more hazardous to the health. Moving further into the room, the floor crackled under the soles of my shoes as if O’Brien’s was a living creature reacting in pain to the steps taken on its mighty back. Squishing and tearing sounds filled the venue. My legs became tired exerting the extra energy required to remove my feet from the sticky floor only to place them down again and walk forward another foot. This floor inspired wonder. I wondered if anyone attending the show tonight would bring a handgun. I wondered if said person would be kind enough to use it on me if I were to fall down in the course of the evening. Shorter thereafter, Sarah from Raising Kubrick entered the club and began laying out shirts and other merchandise on one of the barren tables. I began doing the same. We both seemed to be filled with an enthused optimism that the night’s possibilities provided. We were both excited to be playing in a new venue in front of new people. However, these thoughts seemed to be overshadowed by the distressing fact that we would almost certainly have to throw out whatever merchandise was touching the table. Haha, ok that’s enough goofing around for the moment. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 2,2006 5:23pm - Kevord ""] Just when O'briens had become my second home. This would only be good news if they were closing to make it even scumier. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 5:24pm - RichHorror ""] They should close it so I can shit on the floor for the entire winter season. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 2,2006 5:26pm - Kevord ""] They should close it so we can bury dead bodies under the floor board's. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2006 5:27pm - RichHorror ""] That's a very frivolous thing to close it for. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 2,2006 5:30pm - Kevord ""] True, They could stay open for that. |
