October 4, 2011: HAAM Benefit Day

Went to shows @Red 7 and Beerland for HAAM Benefit day. Contributed a little money to a great cause and was instantly rewarded by some lovely thunder, some thunder was louder than others (some thunders' mothers are louder than other thunders' mothers) but it was all lovely; and it was delivered by the likes of Air Traffic Controllers, Eric Static, Modok, Sally Crewe and The Sudden Moves, Aaron Blount and Simple Circuit.

After the slideshow of the pics, you can see some video of Air Traffic Controllers, Eric Static, Sally Crewe and the Sudden Moves, Aaron Blount and Simple Circuit.

Had a great time at the Melissa Bryan Record Release Party that also doubled as an art show @Obsolete Industries. John Wesley Coleman put on a great performance. Also my first time @Frontier Bar where I saw The Really Rottens and Smithers. Then made my way back to E. 12th St to the Legendary White Swan to see about half of ELVIS's set, as well as an interesting performance by B L A C K I E. Coma in Algiers capped off the evening.

Here is a slideshow of the edited pics.
