Thanks Brad for putting this together. I always have a great time anytime there's a gay orgy in SF. Not only are you a mad man behind the wheel, but you ain't too bad between the sheets either!

Ummmm you guys maybe experiencing a different PC next time you see him. Just thought I'd warn you.

Ohhhhh, OK. Grrl, with two rs. No wonder I couldn't find much about 'em on the Google. These guys ruled. The singer was like a heavier Tomatoes, or maybe a heavier Tomatoes on Xanax.

He lit his hair on fire several times during the set, which I suspected of being some kind of stage trick until two seconds later when the whole room began to reek of burning hair.

He also blew the ashes at me in a loving way, possibly because I was the closest thing to a good looking chick in the room (which should tell you something about who was in the room).

Oh, I've been chatting with Ezra the laptop dude who stomped off when they cut him off early, he hates Ghost Town:

"i did, against my better judgement, attempt to play 15 minutes of slow viola/scream/harmony/crackle at the ghost town amidst a 15-band clusterfuck...but i hope not to go inside that place again, it has just never been very interesting"
