Straight Edge Life

Too damn cool. Got a call last night from my friend Thor Prichard at around 9:40 or so. He tipped me off that BPE (Boogie Patrol Express) was playing at the WOW hall. So I hopped off my ass and cruised on down to the show. $5 cover. I stepped inside and it was like a flashback to Spring Fest of ‘92 at South Eugene High School. It was evil cold outside so I had to wait a good 20 minutes for my lenses to defog before I could take photos. By that time BPE broke before the second set and I proceeded to wander. Ran into a few folk but saw far fewer familiar faces than I expected. I guess BPE gained a much wider audience than just the class of ‘91, ‘92, and ‘93. Dustin Lanker was there. We chatted for a bit. Damn good to see Dustin actually. Heron Marychild, Toby K. (yeah, I forgot how to spell his last name). Dana Ledford. The entire original band members from BPE and a bunch of girls I don’t remember the names of. It was a good time.
