Fuck Yeah Fest has officially ended and it was Fuck Yeah-tastic. I was on my feet for nearly seven hours, regularly traversing Sunset Blvd to see eight bands perform on Sunday. Between eight rolls of film and hundreds of digital pictures, this is day two through my lens.

Fuck Yeah Fest has officially ended and it was Fuck Yeah-tastic. I was on my feet for nearly seven hours, regularly traversing Sunset Blvd to see eleven bands perform on Saturday. Between eight rolls of film and hundreds of digital pictures, this is day one through my lens.

On a Thursday night in Los Feliz, the dudes who throw on the Fuck Yeah Fest set aside an hour to sit on a stoop and have a lengthy, convoluted conversation with me. Despite the perpetual interruptions and digression, I arrived at a very straightforward conclusion. Keith Morris (of Black Flag, The Circle Jerks, and Midget Handjob) and Sean Carlson are two friends who are real characters. They hate doing interviews, they love ice cream (both sugar-free and vegan respectively), they hate technology, and above all, they bask in a concert-going lifestyle. Somehow we connected on a plane riddled with tangents, utmost chaos, and hilarity. The very notion upon which the Fuck Yeah Fest was built.

(Keith mistakes my recorder for a cell phone)

Sean: He doesn't know the difference between the two.

(Keith walks off)

Sean: Where are you going?

Keith: By the time I get down hopefully the interview will be done.

Sean: Oh, go fuck yourself. Oh man, you know what? We were supposed to do another interview earlier tonight. Luckily it got cancelled.

LAist: Really?

Sean: Oh yeah we both hate doing interviews. It's fun though. You seem much more loose.

LAist: No, this is very relaxed.

Way more after the jump

No doubt you have already heard about Reggie the alligator, who for two years lived in Machado Lake in Harbor City. He was captured a few months ago, and hauled to the Los Angeles Zoo. And NOW Reggie the gator is ready to make his grand debut, and strut his stuff in his newly adapted environment at the LA City Zoo.

"Reggie looks great," said Council member Janice Hahn. "He is healthy and ready for his debut. I think he misses some of his friends from Harbor City, so we will be bringing some of them to the zoo to welcome him to his exhibit."

But how the hell do they know? Maybe Reggie is thinking, "You idiots, i am not ready for any damn debut, and thank god i am far away from that stinky Harbor Shitty. Got any BBQ sauce for this quail?"

Regardless of what Reggie thinks two buses full of Harbor City residents are being escorted to the zoo, apparently to say sorry to the residents that it took them two years to get the alligator out of their public park. It makes perfect sense that people would want to visit the potentially deadly threat that lived in their 'hood for so long, ya sure.
