BRMC @ Ventura Theater 9-6-07

Magic Mirror did a good job opening the show with their '60's style rock, I like them even though I missed some of their set when my brother called to ask me where his keys were. While I was out, I noticed the new double sided tote bags for $12. I got one after the show. Then I saw Suzanne smoking and getting off her phone outside. We went back inside to hear more of Magic Mirror and I got some pictures before I went back to the front and Suzanne went back out to smoke. I saw Peter checking out their set from the back also.

Aside from "Screaming Gun" and "Sympathetic Noose," I don't think we got anything really different from the Sacramento show (which I missed unfortunately, but heard great things about). Of course, "Killing The Light" and "Going Under" are pretty special, and "All You Do Is Talk" is a great show closer. Unfortunately, Peter told Suzanne he wasn't feeling it that night even though Robert was really into it. He was jumping up on his monitors and going all footloose everywhere. It was nice to see him into it, at least.

Nick was miked up and singing along during "Killing The Light," that was pretty exciting to see/hear (though I couldn't really hear him unfortunately). I saw him carrying something on stage before their set started, but I'm not sure what it was. Spike and Robert's girlfriends were there, so they weren't too chatty before the show. I saw Robert talking to some fans after though. Suzanne spoke with Peter after the show, and Nick a little. I was talking to Theresa most of the time, so I didn't have a chance to say hi.

BRMC @ SCMX 8-25-07

This was a good show, despite the sun and relative shortness of the set. BRMC played for about an hour from about 6 to 7 PM, just as the sun was going down. A lot of people were here including Nappi, Kimberly, Theresa, Dana and Dannielle, Sonia, Deniece and Collette, me, Jodi, and Suzanne, and even my brother and his friend Aaron. Here's the setlist:



I took a ton of photos since I decided not to take video. Here are a few of the best ones:































After the show, we talked a little with Robert and Peter. Robert gave me a taco since he had 4 of them and I was one of the few carnivores there. Peter gave me a hug, but we didn't really talk since there were so many other people around who wanted to talk to him. I did manage to get a picture with him (finally!). He looks miserable in it!

BRMC @ HOB Cleveland 8-6-07

I haven't properly reviewed any of these shows and I don't really feel like reviewing them completely. Cleveland was a good show for a House of Blues venue, but now it was so long ago that I forgot any details from it. I took a lot of photos and a lot of them turned out well. Here are some of my favorite ones:



















And the best one of all:

New BRMC site!

It's not done yet, but it's started! My BRMC fansite Down Here now has its own domain name and tons more space to work with. More than I even know what to do with...

http://brmcdownhere.com/

For now, the gallery, FAQ, interviews, and links pages are started. There's also a contact form and guestbook, which I suggest everyone uses. I'm still not sure what to do about the bootlegs, rarities, and videos page. I have to figure out how to upload videos and audio files. I'm not sure if I'll keep updating news because the official site and Rebels With a Cause are probably more useful for that. I was thinking of writing a blog for the site, but I have enough blogs already.

Anyways, I hope everyone visits the site and provides me some useful feedback.
