Lisburn and Larne, the thanks list...603 days ago
 
Hi everyone. Thank you to everybody who made the effort to come out to both of our shows this weekend. We had a blast at both of them, and hope we can hang out with you all again.

Friday shout outs:
BPP, good to meet you guys, and we look forward to our jaunt to Greenbelt this summer. Oh So Pretty, cheers as always for good times and a tight wee set. Gonna try to get down and see you on Wednesday up North. Kiri/Harry, thanks as always for coming out and supporting us. Jordon/Lauren, thanks for coming and talking to us...hope you got enough free signed junk. No broken bones this time! Free CD guy...I forgot your name sorry. Peter who came to see us before in Lisburn, Rab the speed drummer, Marc for snapping photos, Sanctuary (esp. P-Lo), cheers for another night in Lisburn, Tribe Of Judah bikers....legendary, Queasy and Joanne for trekking from the Ards Peninsula, Relentless Energy Drink for looking like beer, Nandos for being everything Joel and Mark ever dreamed of, the Westlink for being Joel and Mark’s worst nightmare. We talked to a lot of people, so sorry if I forgotted ye.

Oh, and a special mention to ’so it is’ Traffic Warden, thanks for threatening Joel with the police and giving P Lo a ticket for parking in an empty sidestreet just ten minutes before the allowed time. Thanks for being a government monkey who can’t make a simple judgement call and let us go for parking to offload gear and do some good in your city. Thanks also, for being really easy to outsmart. You got East Coasted, chump.

Saturday shout outs:
Shotgun (Bobby, Jamo, Pete and Connah), thanks for kick starting something that could be really important in our town. Viva la Phoenix Nights. Here’s to many more. Breaking Stereos...are you sure that was your first show!? We will play together again. Soon.

Everyone who came down to the show, I think you were a part of something special, and we really hope we could do our bit to make you guys have a fun time. Thanks to old friends, new friends and everyone else. Congratulations to Jimbo for winning the Hardcore Danceoff 2k8, and his ’star prize’. Sorry to all other entrants. We’re not liable for any damage incurred by stray windmills etc.

The regulars at the Phoenix, thanks for putting up with ’that thump thump’ for an evening. We’ll be back. And louder. Sorry.

On a serious note, we came to a verdict after the show that we have never played a more fun set to a better crowd ever. We’ve been doing this junk for around seven years now. Our ExC (and further afield) community is an important thing that we should all support. I know that it’s definately helped you guys through a lot of tough crap, and it’s built a lot of tight friendships and brother/sisterhoods that simply just don’t exist in other places. Never let anyone tell you that you aren’t important. Many towns and many kids (including us at 13) would have killed for what we have now. Hold fast. Don’t let stupid crap get in the way of what you have.

Seeya at the next show,

Joel, Mark, Nelly, Danny

Brilliant night as always lads! Waking up the next morning feeling like someone spent the night jumping on my neck, coupled with a full body hangover however was less than good steam. After the show however I am ashamed to admit I ended up in Matty Moores (sp?) with Ross, my Da and my Step Ma. In said establishment there was a slightly less hardcore danceoff, between Ross, myself, and about 50% of Larnes "elder" generation. To the proclaimers. I'm not proud.
