I was at the bus stop for the 22 at Fillmore and O'Farrell when the firetrucks all stopped a block away... I didn't want to be a rubberneck, so I headed for the 24.

Call me an old-fashioned romantic, but I thought Nathan & Rebecca Nightrod made a cute couple. Oh, well. That's show biz, I guess.

I thought Deathklok only played concerts inside the arctic circle. And the fish concert was moved to the GAMH because there's a larger backstage area for the drummer to hit on 9 year old girls.

I thought these guys were so good, they had their own fire department to handle all the fans that set themselves on fire at concerts?

Showed up after all the commotion. Never even made it into the Fillmore. http://gwenythmelons.wordpress.com/2008/06/06/dethklok-was-hot-last-night/

Uh... the Fish concert was moved to the GAMH earlier this week. Not related to the fire at the Fillmore.

Whatever. Deathklok sucks anyway.

Glad that the City folks did their job and wanted to make sure everything was safe before allowing the building to get crowded again ... surely we wouldn't want the deaths and other horrible effects experienced at that Great White show in Rhode Island a few years ago.

Dethklok started that fire because they knew SF isnt metal enough to handle the fury.

Yeah, I was there. GF snapped a couple (poor quality) pics with her sidekick, up on flickr here. Totally brutal. But I at least expected the life-threatening danger to wait until Deathklok took the stage... silly me.
