I took a little road trip up to Burlington, VT earlier this evening to catch my friends in Crucial Times as they played their last show. I’ve been friends with these guys for a few years now, and it was great to see them go out with a bang. I’ve always loved Vermont shows, but this was by far one of the best.  242 Main is doing great things with the punk community in Burlington, and I endlessly support that place. So should you.

[Because I drove 3+ hours to this show and had classes prior to the show, I was not able to catch the first two bands. I apologize to those bands]

(Note: This place is an awesome venue, easily the best in Berkshire County right now. I’m stoked to see shows beginning to happen here, and I hope this trend continues. Definitely support this place and the bands that play here)

Let me preface this by saying that I’ve been super excited about this show for a while. Some of my favorite current bands all playing a show together. I wish Algernon had ended up playing, but it was still amazing. I’m bummed that MHTJ has one more show left. Regardless, last night was a show to remember.

On another note, MHTJ’s two drummer thing absolutely blew my mind. Note for note, it was perfect. Definitely did not see that coming.
