Over half of the city's electricity was turned off, but at The Great American Music Hall The Great American Music Hall is a concert hall in San Francisco, California. It is located on O'Farrell Street at in the Tenderloin neighborhood on the same block as the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater.

I was at the club at about 4:30 and there were already kids outside (I think they were trying to meet the bands).

The Enemies hit the stage, and that's when things really started jumping. While they were showing us what serious East Bay punk rock was all about, I took Appleyard and posse next door to enjoy some San Franciscan culture at the Mitchell Brother's Theater. Mitchell Brother's is an internationally-renowned strip club, whose mission is to provide their customers with the most "outrageous adult experience you've ever had." When we walked in, two completely naked women in high heels high heels high npl → talons hauts, hauts talons high heels high npl → hochhackige Schuhe pl greeted us and paraded around, trying to get the champion's attention.

When The Explosion were through, it was time for Mark to accept his award. After a short video presentation The Phelper got on the stage, followed by our man of the evening. I think it's safe to say that Mark had the shortest acceptance speech of any SOTY SOTY Story of the Year (band) SOTY Skater of the Year SOTY Song of the Year SOTY Student of the Year SOTY Sportsman of the Year ever, but l haven't been there every year, so I don't really know what I'm talking about. He was on and off so quickly that Joke didn't even have time to hand him his big check, so instead he threw it to the thirsty crowd. "Here you go kids, really sorry, Mark." And with that, the Alkaline Trio hit the stage. They're so good it hurts. I looked around the club and asked myself, "Does it get better than this?" Then i caught a glimpse of Mark and concluded, "It definitely doesn't get better then that ..."
