Placeholder until I have more time to add more info. Go to my youtube account for now for all the new videos (username allenhsieh)

Sugar daddy/mommy's should buy me hard drives:


Happy new years everyone.

California Love

No new posts in a long while. again.

Sorry for that, not entirely my fault. I'm not in San Diego and there are no shows in Western Mass. for the most part.

On the upside I've been putting myself completely into school work after deciding I quite frankly don't want to be anything like the people I for some reason came to associate with out here. That is to say, selfish drunk pricks who use punk as an excuse to hide behind their actions when really they're just as bad as the "normal" people/fratboys/etc. they belittle.

Yes, these idiots use words like "norms" and "punx" un-ironically.

If you're thinking about going to school in Western Mass: Don't. There's nothing here. The area is great, the people are some of the worst I've ever met.

For the first time in my life I know where I'll be in the near future and I can't wait. And I'm not scared.

I Miss Home.

I should be in San Diego right now.

I'm in Northampton, MA for the summer. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been moving in to my friend's apt for summer and dealing with summer session @ UMass.

MA, it should be noted, is currently trying to kill me with it's fucking batshit insane notions of "weather".

Bane is up/has been up but I've been too busy to post it. Search youtube for mercyhouse and bane for links to the full video and everything.

Tragedy and Blowback videos will be up when I get a steady internet connection. I'm sorry, it's not my fault this time around.

Did I mention that i miss home?

Anyways I'm hiding from the heat at Northampton's Forbes Library. And let me tell you... JESUS CHRIST EVERYONE WHO WORKS HERE IS GORGEOUS. Women and men, young and old.

Plus I totally have a crush on whoever helped to make the bitchin' comic collection they got going.

Air conditioning + comics = love.

Goin' Out West

Going home again, flight delayed at Chicago though (checking engine? You can bet your ass that I'm listening to Tom Waits all the way down if the plane falls through the sky).

Friends still living in San Diego: Will be there until the 23rd, hit me up and let's rage.

One billion and ten.

"I'm literally 5 years old" - Example one billion and ten

Goddamnit I am so stupid sometimes.

Full Ripshit and Aerosols tomorrow, I've been recuperating from hell week and now i think mike got me sick. Damnit.

"You make nothing out of something."

I neglected to update my own website. I've been busy. If you're on vlv or amherstpunk.com (if you are from west mass, why haven't you registered?! Stop lurking!) you've probably seen most of these. I'm posting chronologically, oldest to new. Nothing witty to say, just going to post the links to all the videos then go to bed. I'll use this to whine about growing up tomorrow probably.

P.S. If you don't see a link to the full video it means it's not there yet. Be patient, I have 2 tests and 2 papers coming up and I've uploaded about 15 gigs in 2 weeks. I don't have the time or bandwidth right now. If you are somehow able to freeze time Groundhog Day style then for god sakes do it.

Up and runnin'

The board/calendar has been up for only a few days but damned if we didn't hit the ground running.

So far:
- Wrote a guide to the 5 college area (still working on it, so help out!)
- Added a Chat Room
- FILLED the calendar
- Had one of the hampshire show dudes join ('sup Jeff) to keep us updated on their generally hard to find shows.

We need:
- More registered users! Join in!
- To complete the guide! Help!
- To constantly keep the calendar updated!

200 active users by the end of April. Make it happen.

Homieville

West Mass/Amherst kids:
mega-fucking-homieville.net is live

The domain is just temporary until amherstpunk.com is finished registering in a day or two.

Leave comment/feedback/criticism in this thread or just check out the calendar (you don't have to register to view the calendar)

Hope you enjoy?

Update: amherstpunk.com now works

Holy crap!

Some of my videos at archive.org have over 1k downloads. I'm averaging about 1k unique users per month.

What the hell? I thought I was talking to my self/small groups of friends most of the time. There are a hell lot of you lurkers and I've written some straight stupid shit (most of it is me complaining about growing up + wanting to be a kid again).

I suppose i should apologize at this point. So uh, sorry?

West Mass Kids Stay tuned in the next few days, there may or may not be a tasty treat coming...

And by tasty treat I mean I'm having eric install a message board on mega-fucking-homieville.net that will focus on Amherst Punk primarily, West Mass secondary complete with a little calendar and stuff. It'll be your one stop shop for punk round-these-parts.

Hopefully it'll help bolster the little community we have building, if it turns into a stupid mess of drama and shit talk, I'm shutting it down.

There may also be the fact that eric isn't able to install the board to norman's server (who i've been leeching on, also the reason sometimes ilovescifi sends you to sensitivetolight) and then you'll want to forget everything I just said.
