The Motherfucker New Year's Eve Ball

So I went to the New Year's Eve Ball that the Motherfucker Crew were putting on, primarily to see The Bravery. Although it was supposed to start at 2am, the line was huge and the door pretty disorganized, so even though I had tickets I didn't get in until 3am. The Bravery, scheduled for a 3am start time, didn't go on until about 3:40am. They completely blew away the crowd - so many people were jumping up and down that the shoddy floor at Club Shelter was bouncing. Again opening with "Honest Mistakes," which I think is their best song, The Bravery plowed through about 11 songs and even threw in some stage diving courtesy of the shirtless Mike H (who crowd-surfed as if this was 1993).

Justine D and Michael T were spinning in the main room, pre and post-The Bravery, and were mixing up the new indie rock classics, i.e. Interpol, The Killers, The Libertines. A nice touch was Pulp's "Disco 2000" - a very danceable song for the motherfuckers in the crowd.

Good night overall - even though there was the initial mayhem and numerous disorganized lines (door, coat check, bathroom, bars). Nevertheless, I should have worn some eyeliner.
