Burn, Ensign, Floorpunch, Full Speed Ahead, Kid Dynamite, OS101, Vision
Mercifully, this show got moved to Casino Skate Park. The openers were Full Speed Ahead, OS101, and Kid Dynamite, who were still fairly new and I had not yet heard before this show. I was not impressed. The bottomline is every band got their normal excellent reactions, but especially Vision and Floorpunch. Burn were really good. There were a couple of scuffles during their set because people were going off hard. I remember being told to avoid someone because “you don’t want to fuck with him.” Whatever.

Cryptic Cookies For Jesus, Fastbreak, Floorpunch, In My Eyes, OS101, Reach The Sky, Vision
This show was done by Maggie Rosario. I did a flyer for it with a Sailor Moon background that I only have a cruddy scan for at the moment. My only copy got wrecked when I pulled it off my wall to scan, so I had to take it out of a fanzine. I also helped get Reach The Sky onto this show sometime during that week. Back in the 90s we got so much done via ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger before texting, Skype, etc. CC4J were a band that got back together to play some shows around this…

A.D.D., Blind Society, False Justice, Heatseekers, OS101
Yet another 1998 or 1999? Who knows! This show was on a Friday night because I remember working and then going up to the show. ADD was an all lady band who played pretty cool 1982 style hardcore. They had a demo I think? I remember seeing Jessica and Sarah around a lot at shows. Heatseekers was a local skinhead band with some kids from the generation after mine in Manahawkin. They did a False Justice cover and when the mosh part hit everyone went off. Some dude started hitting people and I shoved him. Suddenly one of the members…

My first show of 1997 was in Bordentown, NJ at the Fieldsboro VFW (which apparently doesn’t exist anymore?). When I began teaching at BCC in 2009, I noticed I drove near Bordentown every day on my commute and it always made me think of the shows I went to at this venue (Also, Vincenttown. Do the punks still slam there?). I missed the two other Floorpunch shows here (one with Rain On The Parade and Vision, and the other with Human Remains and Earth Crisis). I went to this show with a bunch of friends, two of which, John Piorkowski…
