September 29, 2000: Strike Anywhere, Midiron Blast Shaft, the Allied War Effort, Looks Like Rain @ Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD

I'd never met or heard of the promoter before this show but I had somehow heard that Strike Anywhere were playing at Johns Hopkins and found his contact and hit him up about Looks Like Rain getting added to the show. He was into it and I got to promoting the show right away. I'm not positive that Chorus of One was out at this time. They might have only had the demo still. Definitely a cool show. This may have been the one where The Allied War Effort didn't have a guitar player and convinced me to pick one up and make some noise while they played their set. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was fun.

Chorus of One was definitely out by then. I was bumping it everyday in my last month of high school (my school was year-round), and first month of college, which was around that time.

This was post-Pheerfest, where SA was selling the CoO records without all the art. None of my friends wanted to go, and I had to get a ride from Mom dukes. There were maybe 15 people there, and it was incredible to see SA in that setting.

Also, this was the night that I bought the LLR demo in the weird manilla envelope thing.
