REACT! SHOWCASE WEEKEND


So I'm finally getting to post about this amazing trip to the almighty Gilman st. in Berkley, Ca for REACT! SHOWCASE. Let me just start off by saying I wasn't going to go because all my douchebag so-called friends bailed on me at the very last minute, literally last minute like Thursday(first show was on a Friday). All this after those fuckers made me book a room which I couldn't get a refund since it was a special deal. After freaking out for a while I made some calls to other friends that were going and after talking to one of them and convincing them to stay with me at the room I had a spot set for me. The only thing was they were leaving that Thursday at midnight so I said "fuck it" and got my shit ready. We ended up leaving at 2am and got into San Fran around 8am or so. We then went to check in at the hotel knowing it was bit to early to check in but again we said "fuck it" and still went. After resting for while we got organized and went straight to amoeba were I fucked up and spent $70 on records(I didn't post a pic of said records only because I mixed them up with others I just don't remember which are which now, sorry!). The first thing I bought at the showcase was this amazing box set of 5 react! releases. I am a true react! supporter believe it or not. I have never bought doubles only to flip them on ebay the next day and today was no different. The only doubles I got during this showcase was a GET THE MOST record release and PRAISE 7" react! color for my friend Tru. I have to add that I missed PRAISE because my fat ass decided to go to chipotle thinking I was gonna have enough time to eat and then go see them. Well not even 10 minute for the time we left to the time we got our food I texted a friend to tell me when PRAISE went on and the reply I got was "dude, they already played 4 songs". I just stayed and continued eating. Down below are some if not all the stuff I got at the showcase:





























Day 2 was a treat for the first 70 people in line. We had 2 options that day, either go to lusty lady theater in San Fran or stay in Berkley and be one of the lucky 70 peeps, guess what I chose? We than chilled and went to amoeba in Berkley and again spent $40 there and around $20 at rasputin.
