THE PROMISE
R.I.P.
So after a busy weekend of working the BANE + SUICIDE FILE show in Boston (which was awesome), Big Bob, Bedard, and I drove out to Syracuse for the last Promise show. The drive flew by with conversations running from explaining new Bane artwork, to the films of David Gordon Green.
The show was amazing. Bane as always fucking blew me away, but this was The Promise’s show from the first note (which prompted Matty Miller and I to stage dive) to the last, kids where going nuts. I spent the whole fucking set on the floor “going off” as they say, something I haven’t done in quit some time, and I’m paying the price for it now. The show was so much fun and I was surrounded by so many good people that it didn’t really hit me until I got back how sad it was that I would never see The Promise again. After the show I was busy saying goodbyes and solidifying my ride home. I wish I could of stayed for the memorial day cookouts the next day, but I had to get back for work. Punk rock sucks sometimes, it’s harder to call in sick for a job you actually care about.
