Highlights from Insubordination Fest for me was
Be My Doppleganger from the first night, they were real good!
before the start of friday my friend proved me wrong and we found a bagel place, it was decent, but not great. Bought records at Celebrated Summer Records(which is quite a nice establishment in towson). Saw Wall-E, which was fantastic(go see it!). The first 4 bands to start off Friday rocked. Deep Sleep was good and energetic, The Dopamines were good and had a lot of fun egging people on to throw beer cans at them, Dear Landlord was real good, I want to hear a full length from them. OWTH was awesome(I shared with ryan my thoughts about a new song, that there are no good bagels south of philadelphia, bought the man a beer and shared some good laughs. Ryan hates playing shows and hates pop punk hahaha). Got back from dinner to catch the end of the Drunken Cholos who were playing old Queers songs with Wimpy singing which was fun as hell, I love it everytime wimpy sings "I like young girls"(he still does, he had a nice young 20 something at his arm all weekend). Kepi Ghoulis were fun to watch. Ann Beretta was pretty lackluster, even though I was never a fan, the last time I saw them was opening for Boy Sets Fire. The Copyrights and the Ergs sets were awesome(I got threatened by a dudes gf for asking her to come back to my hotel room during Joey Ergs speech about how girls should have the easiest time getting laid at the fest this weekend and if they didn't they should hang it up, I was drunk and didn't care!)
Saturday was a marathon!
I saw short attention to open up. This band makes me happy everytime I see them. They are always so energetic and waste no time wit their sets playing as many songs as possible. Saw some of the Proteens set and it was alright nothing great so I went outside to sit. I walked in near the end of Karmellas Game, not to into their style of pop, but wanted to see Chinese Telephones who were on next who were fantastic. They were fun for seeing them FINALLY! Next was Doc Hopper who was fun nothing amazing but what I expected. Lunch Break before For Science and Lemuria. Both bands are some of my favorites playing the fest. For Science was fun but Joe the guitarist was in his own little world. I took another break then saw the most fun set of the fest which was The Steinways. Very hysterical and I loved the signs. The Zatopeks were very energetic and a pleasant surprise. I then saw the Monikers and they were pretty good but the sound guy wasn't very cooperative but the set was still fun. As I said before I saw the tail end of the Sludgeworth set and wish I saw more. I then saw half of the Double Dagger set and was blown away. Bass and Drum band which was very fun! I was then done with the fest and sat outside while jeff and adam watched some of the Weston set.
I am now beaten and I am tired. It was yet another awesome weekend!

So you really can't go? For some reason I fear I will be losing out with these boys. There's 2 Ebay auctions for them now .... no bidders. It's money already so long gone but oh well.
