Was gonna go see As I Lay Dying/Throwdown/All that Remains @ Richards on Richards today. Got to the venue at 7:20-ish got (ticket said doors @ 7:00). We got to the door and the doorman checked with the promoter, a certain alex from HOB (fuck you). he said no video.
Door man looks at my cam door man to promoter: is video allowed? shitty promoter: no video I turn to my buddy. me: you're on your own. him: ok. I get out of line and leave.
With Explosions in the Sky on hiatus this year, mono will be the closest i get to seeing them this year i guess. The show itself was great. they played just under an hour of powerful instrumental crazyness. I noticed that for some songs both guitarists play sitting down. If i have a band, i think i'll do that.
