HERE WE ARE, THE ROCKOFF IS OVER TODAY, JANUARY 27TH. LYSIS DIDN'T MAKE THE FINALS BUT WERE PRESENT TO ROOT ON CRIMSON RAIN! THE WINNERS, [AAK] AND [THE DEEP], TIED FOR FIRST PLACE. NEITHER BAND DESERVED THE WIN. [THE DEEP] WON IT LAST YEAR AND [AAK] JUST PLAIN OLD SUCKED. I WONDER WHY [JADED ERA] MADE 3RD PLACE? COULD IT BE THE MID-DRIFT?

LYSIS AND THE TWO MAIN GROUPIES (AND PAT) CHEERED ON CRIMSON RAIN AND THEIR GUITARIST. I JUST WANT TO SAY "GREAT JOB GUYS!" YEAH THAT IS CHEESY, BUT IN MY OPINION YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE WON!

I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD THE ODEON AND IT'S OWNER FRANK FOR ALLOWING US TO PERFORM ON THE STAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO WORK AT THE ODEON ARE ASSHOLES. BUT THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT, I APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEND A HEADS UP TO ALL MY DUDES (IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER): MOJO, BRI, MATTY, CRAIGASS, CHRISSY, PAT, TODD, MARTIN, BILL, LAURA, MARY, LESLIE, SCOTT (ALL OF YOU), ANNIE, SEAN, CONROY, JOHN, JOE, BREYLES, RYAN, MAZZONE, HORNER, KNISELY, JAY, MEGAN, KATHY, KATY, EMILY, MY COUS ALISA AND KIM AND THEIR FRIENDS, FAITH LUTHERAN, MY FAM, TINA, DOUG, & ALL YOU OTHER BUDS THAT I FORGOT, I'M SORRY! GOOD LUCK IN FUTURE ENDEVOURS TO YOU ALL AND TO ALL THE BANDS FROM THE ROCK OFF!!
