Blue Oyster Cult At The Rockville Music Festival


Natalie and I went to see Blue Oyster Cult today at the Rockville Music Festival. The weather was iffy but we decided to go anyway. I'm glad we did. We got there a little after 4:00, right before BOC came on. We ended up getting pretty close to the stage and the band was great. My only complaint was the lack of decent beer. This is a partial set list:


  • The Red & The Black
  • Od'ed On Life
  • Shooting Shark
  • Career Of Evil
  • Don't Fear The Reaper
  • This Ain't The Summer Of Love
  • Godzilla
  • Cities On Flame
  • The Vigil
  • Burnin For You
  • Hot Rails To Hell

After the show, we ate at the Hard Times Cafe. Although the place was nuts, the food was great. I had the Steak special and Natalie got Texas-style chili. We sat at the bar and they cooked the food right there. In fact, they didn't have a bartender, the cooks waited on us. One of the guys working there let me have a poster for the festival. We picked up some Chinese food from a place next door to take home for the kids. We thought it would be a big treat for them, but Tom had picked up some burgers from McDonald's on his way home from Ridge. Oh well.

Stolen Photos (Well, not really)




This is from Found magazine. They didn't know where this place was.

Bengies Labor Day Dusk To Dawn Show


Mike, Matthew and I sat through five movies at the Bengie's Dusk to Dawn show Saturday night. It had been raining for days (the remains of tropical storm Ernesto) but it was supposed to clear out that afternoon. It was still drizzling when we first got there but stopped just as the first cartoon started. I dosed off a little bit during My Super Ex-Girlfriend, but other than that, I made it till dawn. The line-up and order was:




  1. Cars (Better the second time around)
  2. The Wicker Man (It was alright)
  3. My Super Ex-Girlfriend (The beginning was funny but then, as usual, it turned serious)
  4. The Da Vinci Code (Good but hard to follow)
  5. The Descent (The Best of the Bunch)
