While still shell-shocked from the electromagnetic artillery bombardment of the Black Sun Festival (fri-sun aug 5-7), I volentarily enlisted for the Chemlab Campaign on the Boston front (wed, aug 10).

This would be the first time I ever seen Chemlab live. The venue was the Middle East, Cambridge. The crowd consisted of the typical jaded Boston rivetheads and pretentious bauhaus types; it was a great place to make friends.

Anyway, after armoring myself in a thick panzerklein of alcohol (read: in an alley behind the Manray), Chemlab came on. Jarred started with 'exile on mainline', followed by codeine glue and you. During CGY, Jarred passed the mic to me, Jacob, for the chorus:

"If six were nine, i'd lose my mind, yeah i'd-" *CRASH*

Whether it was alcohol induction, a star-struck induced faint, or a little of both, I'm not sure; I promptly crashed onto the floor.

Other than that, good show, the next track was 'Vera Blue', then he played some 'Suture' tracks I only vaugely recognized.

my connection doesnt suck. okay timezilla?
