i can only say one thing. pretty lame, Milhouse. luckily we made a camping trip out of it, so the weekend wasnt a total loss. this town or village or whatever it was was so fucking gay. it was in the middle of nowhere, the downtown was a brick mill and an H&R Block, and it was JAMMED with douchebags. every guy thought he was so ghetto, and every girl from 12 to 50 was either carrying a child, or pregnant. i bet the organizers were so pissed, this would have had a way better turnout in any other Springfield. i dont know how this one won the contest, the place was a fucking joke. and the people were rude as hell, you could tell none of them there cityfolk venture into those parts often, and with good reason, so any out of towners were like zoo exhibits. the best part was leaving and getting drunk at the campsite. boooooo-urns!

well, how was the movie?
they won because of their video and I guess they have a nuclear plant.

how did they win?

we didn't get to see the movie. they were raffling off tickets, and it took forever, but they weren't checking anyones names so tons of people were just going up and taking tickets. it wasn't worth sitting in that shithole all day to find out i didn't get in.

Welcome to rural Vermont. It sounds like you had your first run in with Vermont rednecks. Trust me... not everyone in Vermont is like that. Most of the rude people were probably either tourists or local white trash who were really annoyed with rude tourists. Most people in Vermont are actually very polite.

Did you get a chance to hear the Vermont redneck accent at all? It's pretty hilarious.

Vermont rednecks are just that much more creepy than NH rednecks for some reason. Perhaps it's the cross-breeding with the crunchy granolas?

Vermonters are all hippie liberal douches

Vermont sucks.

I havenever been to a show in VT

There's the pot calling the kettle black.

why don' you pull out a "takes one to know one" or a "who ever smelt it, delt it"?

Haha -- I'm just kidding man. I have a little liberal in me as well. I do support (actually encourage) abortion. I hate Jesus and GWB. But then again, I <3 hunting and guns. Maybe I should move to VT.

We played there once or twice with the original LAZ lineup, probably 5 years ago. I only vaguely remember 1 show -- it was in some hall with mostly bad hardcore bands, but some of the kids liked us. The rest sulked outside when we played.

I sulk inside when you play

As long as someone sulks, we have done our job.

the only other city i've been in is Burlington, and the people there were very pleasant.

There was an article in The Herald or Globe saying Springfield, MA is the real Springfield since he is from Springfield, MA.
