Strap-On Tools @ Trin/Port (Nightmare Music Festival)

Strap-On Tools at Trin/Port. Again. This time for the Nightmare Music Festival. Thank heavens they had better lighting this time, and I was able to get video footage of the show. I also got my MD working so I have audio, and thanks to Mel and Katie (and myself obviously) I have pictures to show you as well.

I was supposed to get to the venue somewhere around 5:30-6:00pm because I had like... the majority of the band's gear in my car. Brandon was supposed to be there somewhere around 5:00-5:30 to start setting up the space. I got there around 6:30 because the compressor at work exploded leaving me having 30-40lb boxes of envelopes being heaved at me while I try to repack them before they got wet, and was still the first to arrive. I parked my car, left my keys with someone I'd only ever met once (in a fleeting moment at the last show) and hiked my ass down to MEC at King & Spadina. King and Spadina is fucking FAR from Dundas and Ossington. But I made it, and made it back in time before the first set started.

For a Halloween festival type show, the turnout of people dressed up sucked hardcore. I was a pretend Britney Spears/Catholic school girl, Brandon was Silent Bob, there was a drummer from a band who dressed up like a knight of some sort, and the organizer dude who... I think had a mask on. :P

I have serious trust issues with people handling my camera, because even though I can pick up any digital camera and use it, not everyone else can. But, anyways. Here's the pictures.
