Pennywise “Great Escape” Show

So to speak, I would call it more of a huge record release party.
Get on a boat at the Long Beach Harbor, head out on a 2 hour cruise on the Catalina Classic Cruises, "The Countess", see some dolphins and a seal plus awesome clipper ships, dock in Avalon, have some fun at the local bars, watch Pennywise play in front 700 people or so, get backstage and take pictures, have some more fun a the local bars and be back in Long Beach by 9 PM.
This was my first press event and I had the best time. I got the worse sunburn I’ve had in a long time but it was worth it.
Pennywise was awesome. They only did about 7 to 8 songs, I think, but was cut short by having their power cut out on them in a couple of songs. They were able to end on the traditional Pennywise song “Bro Hymn” or as one guy put it “The Ultimate White Boy Anthem” as he ran down to the pit. I think he was the same guy I saw come out on a stretcher. And it isn’t a Pennywise show, if someone doesn’t leave by ambulance.
I recommend going to Catalina (but use the Catalina Express - you will get there faster). I recommend going to see Pennywise at their next local show. And I recommend the Marlin Club!!!
