Ugly Beats put on another great show in their natural habitat, the Carousel Lounge. These pics are kind of a Jeanine-fest 'cause I was standing right in front of her, but there ain't nothin' wrong with that!

June 9, 2011: Was it a rocking weekend? Sheeeeeee-it! (Pt. 1)
This Thursday kickoff to the weekend was one bad muhfugger! I did 5 one-way trips between Skinny's Ballroom and Emo's, so this fatass got his sweat on both during and between the bands' sets. And although I didn't get to see their set, I got the Planets cd (with a little help from my friends...Dan, I owe you 2 bucks!) and I am thoroughly diggin' it.
