buzzov*en - 8.8.98 - fireside bowl - chicago,il

i'm a native illinois-ian.
and it took me leaving the state to attend a show at the fireside bowl.
i'd been living in south dakota at the time and was visiting a friend that lived in chicago.
prior to the show i'd lived about an hour and a half away from the fireside.
but no.
i waited until i was living 706 miles away.

lame?
probably.

the year was 2004.
i'd went to go and see the bands:
american heritage
yakuza
burnt by the sun

and in case you're interested....
i'd also went to the bottom lounge and saw make believe/need new body/hella during that trip.
it was also the one that had the better turn out.
there was barely anyone at the fireside bowl show.
i don't know.
i didn't take a headcount.
but i was the only one there with a girl.

everyone else: nothing.
