We don't like short people with muscles in Sweden

So, I'm back. The past four days have been the longest I've gone without posting since I started this thing, but I don't think I missed that much in the way of news while I was out of town this weekend. Pointless Fest was a blast. Some highlights:

-Sweden's Bruce Banner, who gave us, in addition to the gem I used as the heading for this post, a bit of progressive wisdom as they introduced their song "Race Mixing": "This song is about achieving racial equality through the act of fornication and other nocturnal rites."

-Some young neighborhood kids being brought into the show and crowdsurfed during Hellshock and Tragedy.

-Too many good bands to mention individually.

-Staying with my friend Josh and watching--repeatedly--the Best of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog DVD.

Upcoming shows in DC:

Wednesday 8/18 - Aphasia, Kakistocracy, Aghast (+1 tba?) no Victims, unfortunately, due to a badly broken ankle

Friday and Saturday 8/20-21 - Different Kind of Dude Fest

Monday 8/23 - Defiance, Ohio, Washington Social Club, Soophie Nun Squad
