Cause this weekend that heart is beating to the rumble that is the flat track baby. This Saturday the heart of Saturday night is the RCRG Championship Bout at Magnusun, Hanger #27. This bout comes hot on the wheels of Rollercon and leads up to the Nationals in Texas (or WFTDA). The RCRG team was just picked…and you might be surprised at the choices…a little.
Unless you are one of the lucky 3000 that will be attending the bout and afterparty (at Hanger 27 and as always, the afterparty is open to the public with a cover at the door) here are some other things Cherrybombed knows will go well with that drink in your hand…

Places to avoid this weekend:
I don’t do this often but I kind of felt responsible for you…I mean…your not eating well and frankly…your flat is a fucking mess. What’s next…? Sylvia Plath? Oh gawd…not the Absinthe and Boudelaire collection down again…you need to stop…I mean it….it’s summer and for the love of Jack Daniels embrace it before it’s too late…
*DJ AM at The Showbox on Saturday…if I need to tell you why your just not worth saving…
*Minnie Driver at the The Crocodile Cafe on Saturday…WTF?
*Hemp Fest at Myrtle Edwards Park…(Saturday and Sunday)…cause you know the DEA has like tiny cameras that can fit inside a one-hitter now right? Not only that…well, wait…that’s enough for me man…F*$! the polize yo…Cherrybombed recommends you stay at home and hug your bong tight then clean that thing, man…dang!
*Wilco may or may not play Marymoor Park on Tuesday, August 21st. Wilco may or may not be the same place Amy Winehouse is. Where that is I don’t know but it seems mostly not the place they are billed to play that night. But just maybe…it’s up to you man…for once Cherrybombed “just says no”…but not to Amy Winehouse…that chick can have anything she wants…and maybe you’ve been living on a prayer in a cave and are saying…”Who?” Girlfriend beats down the hype and then some…”Back to Black” will endure past the kids you don’t know about yet…
Now…Cherrybombed is looking a bit ahead but The Mentors and The Murder Junkies (GG’s old band) at The Funhouse on Friday, August 24th and at Hell’s Kitchen on Sunday, August 26th. Sandwich of Love? Check…Clap Queen? Check…dodging raw meat as it’s thrown at you from the stage? Priceless…and you know when your in doubt you gotta whip it right out…am I right? Fuck yeah…
