Just picked this up off the Freak Out blog and wanted to pass it on... 
 Ride to Skate Pre-Party

-The details are set and final. So fuckin stoked to have my 3 favorite bands in the Philly area coming together to throw down this show for us. All of these guys are solid friends and even if they didnt plug in it would be a real good time. Friends are rad. Lowside Magazine having issue 2 done and having their release party there is the last wrinkle to work out. Choppahead DVD's playing on the tubes to watch Big Truth for some eye candy. Real cool bar and PBR pounders. Its an early show so dont slack. Here's the deal. Saturday, May 15th. $5 cover. Doors open at 7 and bands to start around 7:30. The Kung Fu Necktie is at 1250 North Front Street, 2 blocks off of Girard in the Northern Liberties/Fishtown section of Philly.

Backwoods Payback- It was just reported that these guys have a measurable effect on church attendance. After a Backwoods show, people either go more or never again. Rumor has it that Mike used to roadie for G.G Allen but got asked to leave because he rocked and partied too hard.
