ohnalim, happythoughts, spitting dolly
boarderline skateboards, lynnwood, wa

a co-worker at mcdeath introduced iank. to skeeter, the drummer from spitting dolly and the two of them became acquaintances. a while later skeeter and the spitting dolly crew invited us to play a show at boarderline skateboards, our favorite skate shop. how could we decline?

boarderline skateboards is a few miles north of our houses. the outdoor show was to be in celebration of the grand re-opening of boarderline. they had just gone through some remodeling or something and wanted to drum up some business. so they got us, spitting dolly, and another band called ohnalim (pronounced: on a limb) to come make noise outside of their business. being our second show, we were excited to go play it. we were so excited that we made a crap load of flyers for the occasion at kinko's. (i didn't go in on this endeavor but i hear that we got the flyers for a good price due to some connections we had). i donated a picture that skinhead john had drawn for me and the ians did the design.

spitting dolly played first. they were pretty good and played a green day cover as i recall. unfortunately, the turnout for this show was not as grand as we expected. about twenty or thirty showed up and sat on the sidewalk out front listening to the tunes. so spitting dolly finished up and we came on next. with us, out came the sun and we got pretty warm. amazing for august in seeathole. i can't remember much of this show anymore, sorry. i do recall that we had monitors and all that fun stuff because someone from spitting dolly knew someone that had a bunch of pa equipment. ohnalim played next, two twins and a drummer with a very long bass drum. i think they even had a tape at this time. i wonder what ever happened to them...
