Just wanted to thank all who contributed to a fun, long Summer Solstice weekend. It started early Thursday evening with the private Punk Rock Payroll Potluck which included some tasty homemade dishes and intimate performances in PRP’s HQ/Frede’s living room with The Extraordinaires, The Armchairs and Chrissy Tashjian (Dangerous Ponies). Molestice also rocked like I knew it would! Special thanks to Delia, Erpel and Brendan for all your hard work in putting this event together and allowing me to do what I do best: picking bands that I’d like to hear and getting fucked up. Also much love to Chang Chang (watch out for those Four Locos, buddy – that shit will kill you), Hair Rocket (we can always count on you to bring the pyrotechnics), Attia Taylor ( for your sweet vocals and sharing your backline with the rest of the acts) and Rick(?) (for making and generously sharing your home-brewed kegs of Belgian-ish sour ale giving me a good reason to use my stolen Chimay glass from Brussels). Good times! Good Times! – Q.D. Tran
