I dunno. 600-800 people?

I tend not to care about the stats at this school. It's a pathetic place. The building's only supposed to hold like 2,500 students [which, for me, is still a lot], but there's over 3,000 and more every year.

And most of the seniors drop out somewhere in the middle, or fail.

Corkofski 06-10-2006 01:41 AM

god last night hurt

went to see a really good local band, but their support sucked. so i grabbed a tenner and headed to the bar (which is either lax and serves me or is stupid, since i'm 16) and started doing shots. £10, £1 shots, work it out...

then the main band came on and i've never seen that venue go off like that.
its a 100 person venue, and pretty much everyone just made a massive pit. about halfway through, the singer called us up onto stage to sing with him. so i did. there were like 20 of us onstage at once.

at the end i decided to stage dive. but cause of lack of crowd and abdunance of alcohol, i went nose first to the floor...

cue blood...

lots of blood....

was fun....

Stage diving is cool and much respect for being the first one to try and having the balls to do it

What I hate is when you think theres enough people to keep you up and they either move or catch and drop you.

Berk 06-10-2006 12:57 PM

I've never stage dived...

drummerdave 06-10-2006 12:58 PM

i was at a concert a while back and we were puttin people up to srowd surf, and we threw this girl on top of the crowd, but the people that were supposed to catch her moved suddenly and she nailed the floor, she had to be carried out by a security guard, we felt really bad, but she was allright, we saw her afterwards, wtill musta sucked, but your sounds worse corkofski

I just got home from the lovely Allen Town Art Festival.

My eyes sting from keeping them open the enitre time in hopes of seeing the wonderful Ani DiFranco. I didn't, but I saw the lame a[B]s[/B]s guitarist for the GooGoo Dolls.
I saw Ani's church. It's so big. Everytime I see it it seems like it's gotten bigger. The doors are painted a gold colour, and there isn't any lawn, but it's still amazing. I swear I heard her laugh as I walked past it. =/

We heard a girl, about 8, walk by and say, "Ani DiFranco is the most famous person in Buffalo," which is true, but my sister gets all on her high horse and attempts to downgrade her.
Apparently, her music is too political, and political music sucks.
Right. She listens to Motley Crue, AC/DC, and the likes.
As if that crap has some magnificant message to better human kind.

My god. If you don't listen to her lyrics, the music is still AMAZING.
And how many people do you know who can release 20+ albums and still have a different sound on each of them that WORKS? How many people do you know who started from piss poor, and ended up starting a record company and bringing it up from the ground?
How many people do you know who can afford to live in a $2.5 million dollar beach front house in LA choose to reside in Buffalo? It's the fricken' armpit of New York.

maniac0796 06-10-2006 03:11 PM

i asked for a "warm, dry crack" at my music store today, when describing what sound i wanted out of my snare. The guy who was helping me and my friend both burst out laughing, and it took me ages to figure out what i said wrong.

Epiphender 06-10-2006 03:15 PM

You might as well have asked to check out his nuts. :rolleyes: It's hilarious when people say something really grody sounding and they can't figure it out.

Berk 06-10-2006 03:17 PM

Sure, Ani DiFranco has wrote many amazing albums, but do you honestly think she can write an anthem as revolutionary as Girls Girls Girls?

Janeway 06-10-2006 03:28 PM

Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to make me tight are

Girls, Girls, Girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls,
Dancin' down on Sunset Strip
Girls
Red lips, fingertips

Trick or treat-sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls ya just can't beat
But they're the best when they're off their feet

Girls, Girls, Girls
At the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls. Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, Girls, Girls
Raising Hell at the 7th Veil
Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart

I'm such a good good boy
I just need e new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, I'll keep you overemployed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean

Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a menage a trois
Musta broke those Frenchies laws with those

Girls, Girls. Girls
Body Shop. Marble Arch
Girls, Girls, Girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart

Girls, Girls, Girls



Or

coming of age during the plague
of reagan and bush
watching capitalism gun down democracy
it had this funny effect on me
i guess

i am cancer
i am HIV
and i'm down at the blue jesus
blue cross hospital
just lookin' up from my pillow
feeling blessed

and the mighty multinationals
have monopolized the oxygen
so it's as easy as breathing
for us all to participate

yes they're buying and selling
off shares of air
and you know it's all around you
but it's hard to point and say "there"
so you just sit on your hands
and quietly contemplate

your next bold move
the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

what a waste of thumbs that are opposable
to make machines that are disposable
and sell them to seagulls flying in circles
around one big right wing

yes, the left wing was broken long ago
by the slingshot of cointelpro
and now it's so hard to have faith in
anything

especially your next bold move
or the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

you want to track each trickle
back to its source
and then scream up the faucet
'til your face is hoarse
cuz you're surrounded by a world's worth
of things you just can't excuse

but you've got the hard cough of a chain smoker
and you're at the arctic circle playing strip poker
and it's getting colder and colder
everytime you lose

so go ahead
make your next bold move
tell us
what's the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

Wait. Motley Crue wins.

Ming-a-Ling 06-10-2006 03:31 PM

That's right. She has music with revolutionary and socially significant lyrics and messages, but Motley Crue has music that girls in clear heels exploit themselves to, which obviously trumps the first.

Tang. 06-10-2006 03:32 PM

I jammed out to Crue earlier today.

Janeway 06-10-2006 03:33 PM

Don't forget. It's 90's girls with the butts that go up to their necks.
The kind that you like.

Berk 06-10-2006 03:36 PM

And the video made me feel wierd inside.

Ming-a-Ling 06-10-2006 03:38 PM

Damn straight. You don't get much more classy then that.

Janeway 06-10-2006 03:41 PM

You do when you add in the neon pink thongs that rest on their shoulders.
