Radio Silence / A Selected Visual History of American Hardcore Music

San Diego Party tonight, last night at Bar Pink was amazing. Details here one last time, don’t miss out on seeing Amenity. Mike had the original paste ups for the This Is Our Struggle 7″ (pictured above).

Nathan and I are crashing with Mike Down, I’ve been documenting things with my shitty cell phone camera because I spaced on bringing a real camera.

This is the view from Mike’s spot, not a bad life.

We went for a walk this morning and stopped by a hotel to take a piss, they had parrots in the back. There was a bright red one who had his claw up to his head, he looked like he was talking on his parrot cellphone. It was one of those cute America’s Funniest Home Video heartwarming type moments until the fucker started talking and calling us crackers. You can’t really talk shit back to a parrot so we just walked away and let him win but we’re better for not engaging him.

We got a San Diego tour courtesy of Mike which included stops at the last midget house in San Diego, some beautiful parks, a half finished war memorial and the “two greatest parking spots in the world.” The above is a picture from the view, they totally delivered.

Here’s another picture from the spot, there’s nothing better than getting off a plane and getting a tour, some sun and good food. Thanks again to Mike Down for being such a gracious host.
