Ian's parents were supposedly venturing to Mexico for vacation, so as always, we jumped at the opportunity to set up a show in his foul-smelling garage. We promoted it using Facebook and the ultimate powers of the Internet. Lo and behold, a considerable amount of people claimed that they were to come and join the festivity. However, there was a bit of a mixup where Ian thought his parents were not going to follow through with their plans. We moved it to Mason's grimy lair instead (aka the masonic lodge), Which had the capacity to fit more people.

The Bandz:
- Stud Muffin opened it up with some surfy sounding punk goodness and awkward silence.
- Manuel's other band, Otacon (RIP lol) belted out the stylish jamz while Peter crooned smooth notes to lyrics about Japanese girls.
- Backstab(ber) was up next and played a set shorter than the time it takes to tie my shoes. Francis argued with everyone. People laughed.
- We were up next (watch our set below!).
- After us was Cold Stare, who summoned the blonde-haired, blue-eyed mosh with their songs about loving amurika. oi!
- Sleep Walk broke out the cigars and beerz in true rich boy fashion. Alberto took off his shirt to expose his belly. Great band.
- Our other band Stopping Power headlined it after not playing for 11 months (The last time we played before that was in Japan. lol) Fun set, intense!
All the bands were awesome, and there was a positive energy all around. A good time with good friends. For those that would like to check it out, here are some videos and pictures of the ponker shindig.
Our set. We are the perfect soundtrack for sitting down and texting.
