The shows....

The shows on Saturday and Sunday were fun. It was a great crowd and the bands were amazing. The people and the bands were really great and nice. However, attendance for both shows were really low despite the fact that these bands are amazing.
Coaccion came all the way up from Mexico to play one show at CRUST SIN FRONTERAS. They played an amazing set and the people that missed them that night should definitely be kicking themselves.
Aghast (VA) and Giuda (Italy) were touring together and both played sick sets at Gilman and Balazo. A lot of the people who went to the show at Gilman showed up the next night at Balazo to see these bands. They are nice guys and definitely bands that people should check out if they haven't heard of them already.
All Systems Fail came all the way from Utah to play the shows that I offered them. They were super nice and played sick sets. They were really supportive of everything.
The local bands Matarata, La Grita, Eskapo, Acephalix, and Outraged all played amazing sets. They played really well and were all super nice and supportive of the touring bands.
Basically, if you didn't show up to these shows, you missed out on some amazing bands and nice people. These bands all have good draws and I still cannot understand why more people did not show up to watch these bands play.
The bands and I worked our asses off to make these shows badass and in the end the shows were great. In the end, I ended up losing money that I took from my own pocket, but I don't mind because the Balazo show was fun to be at. A lot of my friends were there to help me.
I want to thank all the bands that played and everyone that showed up to support them.
I want to thank Cassondra for helping me promote these shows and helping me make tamales.
And another thanks to Karen who made tamales with me. She worked super hard and looked after the table. She deserves one of the biggest thanks of all.
And I just want to say an extra thanks to England from Eskapo who helped me think of bands for both those shows, did the flyers for both the shows, played at one of the shows despite the fact that one of his favorite bands was doing a reunion in San Jose, helped me organize everything, and kept me on track time-wise. THANKS!
