515 Crew

The 4 Skins are playing the East Coast Oi! Fest.

I knew that, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they aren't worth a shit live. I could be wrong, but I've seen most of the old british bands, and most of them aren't very good anymore.

You didn't know that? Damn, that shit was/is all over the internet. One thing about that Craig Downtown dude who puts it on, he really "hits the streets" with his promotion. If you recall last years East Coast Oi! Fest he even came here, posted some shit about it, came back to answer some questions and posted important updates... all for a target audience of about three people and none of us went. In this town we can't even get a flyer put up outside the same circle-jerk locations, but this dude in Pennslyvania can take a half hour or so of his time to court the small handful of us here that are into Oi!!

I imagine the 4-Skins will suck, but at the same time it would be cool to see them. I'd definitely go see them if they played KC, Minneapolis, Omaha, etc. I thought about going to the East Coast Oi!!! Fest this year, but I don't know. I think I'm going to save my travel cash for a possible trip to Buenos Aires in July (ps, anyone want to go with me? Airfare is about $1500 as of now), but I may get a wild hair up my ass that weekend, I don't know.

There's a few bands on that line-up I'd really like to see:
Stormwatch (would love this)
Oxblood
Wretched Ones
Patriot
4-Skins
Razorblade (Dutch Oi!!!! rules, ok)
US Chaos
Indecent Exposure

The rest of those bands are either just ok (Beerzone, A.P.A.), totally suck and/or I have no clue who they are.

i hope to go to this.

outlook dismal.

Yeah I was looking at it and it would end up about a grand to fly out, get a hotel and eat. Even though I have the money, I need to be spending it on other things right now.

Also, I've been sucked into this "one time only Reunion" shit thing before only to have the band tour the US non-stop for years afterwards. Though I have to say the 4 skins are one of the few bands left that I never got a chance to see but a grand?

Stormwatch, Patriot, Wretched Ones.

I'm pretty sure you can get a last minute deal off Travelocity for less than $400 for a flight to Philly, hotel in Allentown and probably a rental as well.
