		<title>Summer In The Adirondacks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Laid back lifestyle all summer long.  It&#8217;s fall now, so these pictures are reminding me of warm days and no school.  They were taken at Indian Brook in Bolton Landing, NY.  The town is right on Lake George, and my Father&#8217;s side of the family has a nice big house on the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=40&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Braindead Record Release Show, Siren Records 6/18/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Review
My band (myspace.com/hollowspa) got added to this show last minute, and we couldn&#8217;t have been more excited.  Local favorites Braindead dropping their new LP, and an awesome tour package of Killing The Dream from California, The Carrier from Boston, and Gravemaker from Vancouver.  I had my camera at the show and wasn&#8217;t planning [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=38&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Endless Blockade, Coffins, Birth Control @ Jan&#8217;s Room, 5/21/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeing foreign bands is awesome, especially Scandinavian and Japanese bands.  I have had the privilege of seeing several bands from both areas, including Victims, Hero Dishonest, and Breakfast.  They were all not only awesome musically, but really funny guys.  Tons of hilarious comments during their sets and great antics.  Japan&#8217;s Coffins were the first metal [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=37&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>War Pigs Record Release Show @ Siren Records, 4/26/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Review:
Two dollar shows are hard to come by these days, especially one with an awesome bill like this.  Most of the bands that played this show are high up on my list of great local bands, and  Title Fight and Let Down are a couple of the best bands in punk/hardcore today.

		<title>Deathwish/Malfunction Showcase @ Siren Records 4/19/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Review:
Definitely one of the crazier hardcore shows I have ever been to.  Local metal/HC crossover band War Pigs opened the show, and the strong reaction they got, especially during their last song, set the tone for the rest of the night.
The much-hyped Trapped Under Ice played next.  I am not a huge fan [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=34&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cruel Hand, Mongoloids, Braindead, Early Birds, War Hungry @ Siren Records 2/9/08</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was my first show at Siren Records in Doylestown, PA, and it was a banger.  The mosh was brought, a fight almost broke out, and a mic cable was severed.  Young guys Early Birds from Kingston, PA played some sloppy, fast hardcore and covered No Spiritual Surrender by Inside Out!  Philly&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=33&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Jan&#8217;s Room, January 18 with Surroundings, Middle America, others</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was my last show in the Lehigh Valley before returning to Philadelphia, and it was awesome.  It was billed as a joint release show for the first issue of Evan&#8217;s Brain Case fanzine and new Valley band Oxygen Destroyer&#8217;s first tape.  Jersey bands Seasick and Static Radio opened the night with short sets, fast, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=32&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Year&#8217;s Day Hardcore Show! Blank Stare, Coke Bust, Sick Fix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2008 started with a banger of a show at Jan&#8217;s Room in Allentown, PA.  I was not hungover, because NYE was spent watching Mr. Show and Upright Citizen&#8217;s Brigade. Fun night.  Anyway, on to the show.  Buffalo, NY&#8217;s White York and  Halo Fauna were added last minute  to  the show,  but mixed up the atmosphere [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=31&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hulk Smash/Fight Amp/Baroness at the FU Church 11/29/07</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a long overdue update, the show that the pictures are from was over a month ago.  Oh well, here they are.  They show was on the floor of the church, a welcome departure from the normal stage.  Smaller shows there should definitely be on the floor.  First up is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christophercarlthomas.wordpress.com&blog=2009577&post=30&subd=christophercarlthomas&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>11/15/07 Show at Planet Mollie in Philadelphia, PA.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This show started off with a member of Hey Hey and another kid playing acoustic Civil War songs.  They were awesome.  New screamo band Boy Problems (ex- Make Me, Street Smart Cyclist, This Lady is not for Burning and current Storm the Bastille) were very impressive.  Danny is a great front man.
