when I saw this weird one night only Circle Jerks reunion show at the Birch Hill (why the one night only show was in jersey is beyond me but i'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth) for some reason the two opening acts were Autopilot Off and Mest who are both abismal. i didn't know who the openers were before then so i came all early and saw all these little kids with the same hot topic mest shirt as one another and i'm thinking to myself "how the fuck do these kids know who the circle jerks are?" and it turns out they didn't know. the place was packed but after mest was done there was maybe 50 people if that there for the jerks. and i at the age of either 19 or 20 i forget was then about the youngest there.
when i was at this great show called The Y-100 Feztival probably the only show with like a warped tour amount of bands with a $30 ticket that i felt was worth it (even though i was 15 so my dad bought my ticket which might have something to do with it) i had to sit through Marcy Playground to get to the bands i was actually there to see. Everclear, The Bosstones, Ben Folds Five and Greenday it was a great time to see the four afformentioned groups cuz they had all just dropped great albums. respectively So Much For the Afterglow, Let's Face It, Whatever and Ever Amen and Nimrod
this one solo acoustic guy that opened for Elvis Costello at Convention hall also sucked heavily. but the next time i saw E.C. on the other coast cuz i was visiting this ice bitch in washington that i regret wasting the money for my plane ticket on made up for it cuz Phantom Planet was the opener and that was cool
