Lipa City.

Had a very long day and a very awesome time last night at Lipa City. The BS crew met early in Manila to copy some covers for the four-track BS sampler to be given away at this show. The weather was f'n hot but after an hour or so in the Saturday Manila traffic, the rain poured down essentially bringing the heat to another level.

When we reached Lipa City, we were looking for a place referred by Mr. Firr called 'Shop Around The Corner' but for some reason we couldn't find it so we settled for this place called Cafe De Lipa in order to get some authentic kapeng barako, but more on this later. We went to the venue, grabbed some food and watched as the San Pablo City crew started the show. I think it was Forfeit, Standout and Chilidogs who started the show in order before we played. Had an awesome time playing too, the crowd was well-receptive of the new songs. Very cool crowd. No fights whatsoever. West played after us and they opened with OLC's 'Murdario Stomp'. They have a full-length to be released next week and we'll be playing that show too. Thanks to Larry for lending me his bass guitar for this show. Also caught some cool bands from Batangas playing but everything's a blur to me already. We also hanged out with Mr. Arje and he rode with us to Manila.

Thanks to Peter, Terry and the rest of the Lipa crew for this great show. We'll see you soon.
