The weekend before last was local hero Dan Savage's birthday. Dan is always super fun and so was his party he put together at Uncle Lou's. Below are some photographs from the show. Some were taken with a digital camera but the batteries went dead so I took out my camera phone.

Awesome and the Asskickers were awesome. I mean, the word awesome is in their name. They live up to it, masks and all. They are one of the funnest bands in town and their song "Meatballs & Spaghetti" is a hit. Shit Eagle were amazing as always. Garbo's Daughter were really good, especially their cover of "Private Party". Slippery Slopes tore up the room in more ways than one. And new band called Paradise made up of Alice (formerly Fat Girl on a Trampoline), Chris (The Hardy Boys), Hannah (The Sharp Objects) and some asshole drummer (who yells at girls because he doesn't have his own equipment). I really like all these new fun party bands. Paradise has potential. Ditch that drummer and instantly become an awesome likeable band.

Slippery Slopes were beyond wasted.

Erik is sitting on broken glass -- it's everywhere. Party hard.

It's just chaos - Slippery Slopes style.

Slippery Slopes so tough. Britches plays with one hand on guitar and beer in the other.
