Something that most places outside of Florida did was the Sunday matinee. Most people will think of CBGB's and their Sunday Hardcore Matinees of the late 80s. Our generation will think of the Syracuse Sunday Matinees (often booked by John McKaig) and the amazing amount of bands that would trek to play them. Last year, JD sent me a small box of laminates from tours he was on as well as the old Sunday Matinees and various Hellfests. I finally got around to scanning them so here you go...amazing is an understatement. South Florida did get that Agnostic Front tour with Where Fear and Weapons Meet opening. Also, the Hellfest 2001 laminate is missing various bands including my old band Destro, One Nation Under, Bleeding Through and Earth Crisis, the fest headliner and their last show (at the time). Still a nice look back...

I was at that last one. One of my best New Years stories is partying with 18V at Ryan Hex's place for the countdown. Ryan's roommate was losing it over the whole Y2K thing - freaking out that everything was going to blow up or something. Someone snuck down into the basement and as they heard us yell happy new year turned off all the power in the house. That combined with the fireworks in the street and in the city sent him over the edge for a minute or two. He honestly thought we were all dead...
It was awesome.
