The promise ring rocked out! Davey was funny as hell. I think the funniest thing he said was when he menitoned how they saw jimmy grew up "when they were wittle babies" haha. Thier new songs rocked live, which makes me irked that I dind't get to see em the last time they were in nyc a few months ago. Dam school! It was groovy to hear everywhere in denver and picture postcard oldies too.

my friend took pix so we'll seee how that comes out

08/27/02 Went to get tix to see the band at Last Call w/Carson Daly. It was quite interesting. They peformed sweetness twice because of a mishap with the bass on the first try. Pretty groovy. Met Cindy again with Kris, the moderator for thier message board, Leah with Chris, the guy who does simplediscourse.com.

08/28/02 Combine a great cause with music and you have LIFEBEAT. It's a great cause and Jimmy Eat World took part in it the last minute. got there sorta early in da front left and sadly the huge amps were there also which is causing early titinitis. we shoulda brought ear plugs, i didnt realize it could be so loud. i usually could take the amps. pete yorn was the 2nd act. he performed acousticly with zach on da skins. i enjoyed most of petes performance, it was good. better than the last time i saw him. then came the band that almost everyone in the crowd was waitin for: jimmy eat world. freak the hives. not everyone in "new york loves the hives." jimmy shoulda went on last since all the hives did was prance around and yappin to waste time. they were muically aite, but by that time my ear drums were shot. so yea jimmy shoulda headlined. the set list can be provided by ms. killa queen cuz she got the setlist from henry the set was a good mix even tho they didnt play no sensitivity. its always fun to watch jim on stage w/his hippidy hop antics lettin everyone feel da music. tom rocked out in his own cool way. his voice was bangin. they rock out live so much. big props im glad they're in nyc, i didnt think they would come back until they're next album. its a good thang to end the summer wit.

"And how long will it take me to walk acaross the United States all alone. The Westcoast has been traumatized and I think I"m the only one still alive" - blister, clairty

"Can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands. Won't accept an honest answer from an open hand." - call it in the air, static prevails

"Make them open the request line and let selection kill the old. Turn off your radio." - your new asethetic, clairity

"I am why you bring me here tear these cloths down when we fight. It’s over--they found me--they beat me. I can’t believe they knew it--we blew it--our fortunes have been retrieved--by humans--who knew me--they used me--to get what’s mine. They’ll never replace me. I’ll be back. I want revenge." - robot factory, static prevails

"It happened too fast to make sense of it. To make it last. Not asking of me anything saying nothing about what it means, without anybody telling me how I should feel, lead my skeptic sight." - table for glasses, clairity

"Are you gonna live your life wonderin?standing in the back lookin?around? Are you gonna waste your time thinkin' how you’ve grown up or how you missed out? Things are never gonna be the way you want. Where's it gonna get you acting serious?" - a praise chorus, bleed american

"I can see the light leading away from you. Let’s disappear, we’ll take a trip of no return to outer space. And swim in pools which keep us warm, cleaned off the sand from off your feet. We’ll dance off time to the songs we’ve never liked. And sing off key thinking it sounds all right." - episode iv, static prevails

"Hey, don't write yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on. Just try your best, try everything you can. And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away. It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle, it'll up the ride. Everything will be just fine, everything will be allright. Hey, you know they're all the same. You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in. Live right now. Yeah, just be yourself. It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else." - the middle, bleed american

"There's no one in town I know. You gave us some place to go. I never said thank you for that. I thought I might get one more chance. What would you think of me now, so lucky, so strong, so proud? I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have a chance. May angels lead you in. Hear you me my friends." - hear you me, bleed american

"Hang loose, my friend dont walk away from me, because i really think you're cool. Is it worth turning back despite these open hands? You're tearing me apart. They'll take you, when you won't come back to me. You need to find yourself." seventeen, static prevails

"I'm through talking. It's the strangest thing, I feel safe when I'm lonely. Take it easy. Don't you get it? It's just an expression. Would you raise your voice every time a little dirt gets under? Cry if you want. It's the return of no sensitivity. You don't have to scream to say something that you honestly mean. The world won't turn without you and I am amazed you're standing still. Your problems, they aren't problems be glad they never will. I'm taking my kisses back. I want my kisses back from you. When you hear those footsteps calling. It's O.K. if you don't answer. Isn't it obvious? I thought it was obvious." no sensitivity, split w/jebadiah

“Ha, caught you in the act you disciples of dirtiness.Officers arrest these nekkid people now* You’ve seen mine, I’ve seen yours. I’ve got no toilet but I cannot go outside. Haven’t you got any passion at all? We’re the same, human rain. My right to take a pee, it’s not the way it used to be. Seen mine, seen yours. What’s wrong? It’s not the way it used to be. What’s my punishment going to be? Decapitation of my trick? It’s always the same." -indecent exposure, early old old school jew
