ups and downs, i guess

so simon wants to see more pictures, well, thats not going to happen unless we figure out how to use andy's wack camera (in which case you can see pictures with a nice yellow hue).
so the story goes......we went and saw a hockey game in prague on wednesday night skipping the defiance show that was sure to suck. afterwards we chilled in the hostel and got drunk with the aussies, said our goodbyes and took some pics. i woke up in the morning, my jacket was gone and inside my jacket was my camera. to make a long story short some junkies broke into the hostel on the apartment side and took my jacket and some aussie's bag (and i had a nice trip to the czech police station). fortunatly that was the only thing taken from our room as there was lots more to be taken. anyways, it sucks more to lose the pictures more than anything.
On the up and up we are now in berlin, i have a new carhart and we have seen two killer punk shows the last two nights at the famous kopi squat. last night we saw mihoin, a dutch hardcore band that absolutly crushed. classic dutch hardcore in the vein of seeing red and point of few and were in fact better than the previous mentioned bands. we talked to them after the show and they were some of the coolest dudes we've met so far on this trip. today (friday) we went and saw another show that was much more packed than last night but was just as cool. it seemed strait edge at first, all i saw were kids with youth of today shirts and gorilla biscuts patches but everyone was drinking. the first band sucked but the second band, the tangeled strings (?) ruled. hard to describe their style, they had a chick singer and coverd "young untill i die" which makes sense when you realize that kevin seconds sounds like a girl. also, an interesting note: berlin has a lot of pseudo punk rockers, people who dress punk just as a fashion. I reckon all these pseudo punks went to the concert tonight that featured conflict, sham 69 and the business. i just couldn't convince myself that i needed to see this show for €20, even though confilct is one of my favorite bands. lots of hot girls in berlin, mostly punk rock which is a plus. a note to robbie, we will try to get some flix of the said hotties.
sports wrap up:
the Über bowl shall certainlly a specatle. the steelers will conduct a thorough lashing complete with a spectacular performance by the long haired samoan; he will dominate and crush the will of the opponent with the force of a thousand hurricanes. not to mention the unstopable force of the bus who will ram, smash and shatter the weak line of defence known as the seahawks (who are all cryers as we know). the battle shall be victorious, celebrations shall rein out from point state park to butler to latrobe(is that right? im kinda making shit up).
ps we are gonna go see the number one cryer from mpls -- slug -- on sunday, he is playing with sadat x and greg nice, its cheap and it will be fun, but i wouldnt go see it in mpls, just looking for something to do...............
