1. The Slamming Watusis opening for the Pixies at Peabody's(Down Under) in 1993?
2. The Pink Holes playing at my then boyfriend's Fraternity House at Case.
3. Most recently, Molotov at the beachland last year---hadn't a seen a mosh pit full of so many Latin punkers/rockers in Cleveburg ever!
Too drunk to remember the other ones

Felipe made me go see Molotov, and i actually enjoyed it! i felt very very much like an ignorant, pasty white American though because i know no Spanish and i was showing much less skin than all the other girls there.

Ministry and KMFDM at the Phantasy in Lakewood. (I think that was 1990).
