Restless Habs

Tomorrow night I'm driving down to Huntington Beach to see the first Big Drill Car show-type-thing in 16 years. They're a little older and bigger, but seem no worse for the wear. According to the OC Weekly, they're the 11th best band from Orange County of all time! Really? I can think of a batch of good ones, like The Adolescents, TSOL, Social Distortion, Doggy Style, The Vandals, and No Doubt for starters, but agree they're up there.

I used to see BDC almost every other weekend and wonder if it's uncool to wear one of the old shirts from when they toured a lot... I must have at least five or six, including a mechanic's work shirt that makes me look like a greaser that would hang over small block engines all day. Did I mention that my girlfriend at the time wrote a song wondering if I like the band more than her? looking back, maybe I didn't have to go to all of those shows. But who knew I'd get to see them in 2008?

The real Supernova is opening--the one with space suits, bad haircuts, and "Chewbacca." But that's another story...
