538 johnson

modern life is war, david o'brien, and 538 johnson avenue are three things that i hold very near to my heart. this clip contains all elements, it's footage from a show in the spring of 2007 that i still hear dudes talk about. i couldn't be there unfortunately, due to a boston-shaped cock up my ass, but i had the pleasure of catching a fucked up sunday matinee there once and the venue equaled fun. it's a loft apartment in bushwick, with a staircase going up the side of the stage, at the top of which there is a pipe going across the 20 ft high ceiling. you'll see people falling from the sky in the video, so that explains that. this show was deaded early by jacob, who apparently didn't interrupt mid-song and waited politely. 538 johnson deaded shortly after. mliw deaded shortly after. red-headed kid in the white shirt is david o'brien, who isn't wearing his glasses and was still straight edge at this point.
