In remembrance of the Ristorante Retina

The post from the other day made me think about the show Total Fury played at our house on Joyce Kilmer Street in New Brunswick, where we (the Bad Form) lived, rehearsed, and threw some parties. Lo and behold, by some cool coincidence I found this video on youtube of the Oath's set from the same show.



A few minutes after this was shot, the mattress that blocked the back down was throw into the middle of the floor and people dove onto it 3 at a time from a radiator

The video is not the clearest quality, and the sound definitely sucks, but you get the idea of some of the usual hi-jinx that went on at the shows there. There was always food a-plenty, drinks flowing freely, and zombie movies playing in the living room...
Other incidents I remember: Catharsis being hi-jacked at the end of their set which turned into a big drum-circle, Charm City Suicides playing well after midnight to a crowd of 7 which ended in holes in the sheetrock and blood on the walls, firecrackers going off during the 9 Shocks Terror and Amdi Petersens Arme shows...

If anyone has any other pictures, videos, flyers, or stories from the shows at this place, get in touch!
