Personal Entry

One Twenty Seventy Seven

33 years ago today I was introduced to this world.

Some facts you may or may not care about during the day I was born:

  • I was born during a terrible blizzard with record low temperatures.
  • The day was inauguration day for the 38th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter.
  • The day is a cusp day between Capricorn and Aquarius.
  • I share the day of birth with director David Lynch, Slipknot member Sid Wilson, actor Skeet Ulrich, and comedian Bill Maher just to name a few.
  • I was born the year punk exploded.  I am ok with that.

Here is the local news from 01/21/1977 that talks about the supposed energy crisis and the blizzard.  Dick Goddard was awesome back then too!

With bands like today it is hard to believe that Kiss was actually considered “heavy” back in the day…

I Lied. Well, Sort Of…

I need to confess a couple of things…

Last year I said I was going to SXSW.  Not happening.  I want to, I really do but I can not afford the trip to and from one of my favorite cities in the world…Austin, TX.  I will make it there one day and that is a promise.  2010 will not be that year.

I also said I retired from the Warped Tour.  After years of going to the punk rock summer camp I announced that I was going to quit.  Well…

Vans Warped Tour

…and I lied.

If Face To Face plays the Cleveland Warped Tour you can bet your behind I will be there.  Andrew W.K. is a must see for me as well.
