mister slippery Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 What an odd decision to make.Do I go to Wassabi, one of the most-feelgood bands I know, for the whateverteenth time, or do I go see Hate, who are coming in from Poland and whom Ive never seen? Hate's opening for a band I don't much care for, but I'm worried I might never get to see.......Screw it, think I've made up my mind. Jaydawg, hope the show goes well, but I think I need Hate.Enjoy Wassabi, everyone. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
