Ill tempered? I think its safe to say I left New York City ill tempered. Let me bring you up to speed so you understand…

Few weeks ago Shane asks me to go to a Reel Big Fish concert at Irving Plaza with him. I say, “Who is playing with them?” Zebrahead, Gob, and The Matches. Now I only know of Zebrahead, other then RBF, and I’ve seen them once before and they were good live and I know Shane really wanted to go so I say OK I’ll go. Fast foward to last night. Its raining the entire trip up to New York. Hard. Me, Shane, and Danielle (a new Danielle, not the Bumber) are on our way up to the city via the Holland Tunnel. I am driving. Driving in NYC is easy for me now as long as I know exactly where I have to go and have detailed directions which we did. So anyway we get to Irving Plaza. Danielle sells her extra ticket for $20 to a scalper to which he turned around and sold them for $60! Anyway we get inside and this band The Matches was playing…This is where our story begins…

So this was my first General Admission concert in NYC. I consider myself a veteran to the General Admission concert because I’ve been to about 40,000 of them here in NJ and PA. Places like Birch Hill, Stone Pony, The Trocadero, and Theatre of Living Arts are all seconds homes to me. But this was my FIRST NYC one. I figured it would be the same as NJ or PA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY WAS I WRONG! This single concert has effected how I will handle NYC concerts for the rest of my life. (More on that later) Anyway The Matches are playing and they are finishing up. Not too horrible but not great either. Then this band called, Gob comes on. I think this was the shittest band I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Not only did the singer suck ass this band had the gayest fat bassist I’ve ever seen in my life and he talked and said shit that made him the biggest faggot in the universe. Anyway Gob blew asshole and the only people rocking out and singing along were 12 year old girls and fat guys who obviously wouldn’t know good music if it licked their ball sack. Normally if we were in NJ people would be shouting at the stage “GET OFF THE STAGE.” “YOU SUCK!” or “GO HOME!” to which I usually chime in with my “BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!” “YOU GUYS ARE PATHETIC” “I HOPE YOU DIE” or even “FUCK YOU!” To which usually concert goers around me laugh and smile because I’m pretty fucking loud and they know the band can hear me. So my urge to yell to Gob was strong but no one else was doing it. Could it be possible that everyone secertly likes this band? I didn’t know NOR did I care. All I knew was that I hated them and my NJ concert instincts were starting to take over. In between one of their songs I blurt out, “FUCK YOU!” followed by a “GO HOME!” I then waited to get kicked in the shin by some 12 year old girl who thought Gob was the greatest thing since the Spice Girls. But alas the people in the back with me were happy with my comments and started chiming in. “GET OFF THE STAGE!” ” YOU GUYS SUCK!” “I HATE YOU!” were all shouted at them after me. I was proud. I looked around at my fellow haters and they all laughed and smiled at me. After the band’s next song they decide that the lead singer is going to do some dancing for everyone and of course the faggot fat bassist had to do all the talking for this part. So the fat faggot says “Now Dan is going to shake his ass while he does a dance called, ‘The booty shake’ ” I shout, “YEAH? BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!”. While it was real quiet. I know the fag heard me cause he kinda did a double take. But whatever they sucked my ball sack. I more or less knew I was in my own personal hell where they play nothing but B98.5 “punk” and the concert hall is filled with 12 year old girls who scream like Michael Jackson fans. But whatever they were almost done. Mean while its starting to get REALLY hot inside. I start to sweat….

Gob finished and it was the down time between them and Zebrahead. These three girls walk up to me, Shane, and Danielle. One girl says, “Would you like to buy this Pin for a dollar its for kfshfjkshkjd….” I couldn’t hear what she said it was for. “What is this pin for?” I say to her. She says, “We’re selling them for school their these Peace pins to fight against the war. They’re only a dollar will you buy one?” I say, “NO! I like war I’m not buying your pin.” “What did you say?” quip the 3 girls. “I like war. I’m not buying your pin.” say I. Then Shane whips out a dollar and buys one. While two of the girls are distracted with that, the other lone girl turns to me and says, “I HOPE YOU STEP ON A LANDMINE AND GET YOUR LEG BLOWN OFF!” and then she stormed away. One thing I hate about the whole punk scene is their leftist liberal ways and how the punks try and cram it down everyone’s throat. To that I say, If I wanted to talk politics I would have gone to a debate or political rally not a freaking concert…

Zebrahead came on and played. They’re a good live band and I enjoyed them. Reel Big Fish came on opened with Sell Out, Take on Me, and Beer. After that they played crap. I lost interested and counted the minutes until they were over. They did however play their new song that they play on Sirius a lot and I enjoy. They finished, we didn’t stay for the encore and left…

Through out the entire show we had sweaty fat people CONSTANTLY pushing through us and we had to move out of people’s way like 40,000 times. Also the freaking Mosh pits were in the back of the venue. THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING IN THE BACK IS TO AVOID THE MOSH PITS! So because of this I have adopted the following policies reguarding General Admission Concerts in NYC:

I, Sean Robert Piotrowski, refuse to go to a General Admission concert venue in New York City to see a show UNLESS I am with people who, like me, are 21 years of age and can go to the 21 or over floor.

Being with the people who aren’t twelve is where it is at. They are there for the music and the beer. Not to throw elbows and punch each other while running around in a circle…

People in NYC do not know proper concert procedures or behavior. People in PA and NJ do. Again re-affirming my belief that NJ is the most superior state in the Union…

We got out of New York in less then 20 minutes this time and only got lost for about 5 minutes compared to last times 45 minute of lost-ness. So we were happy about that. All in all a good evening and a great story. I can only hope the Iron Maiden, Dio, and Motorhead concert this Friday can yield an exciting time and make up for this semi-disaster of a concert.

I have work to do so I am going…

Till next time…”I think I’ll have myself a beer…”

Here it is. Firehouse like you’ve never seen her before ALL RAW AND ALL NUDE! Wait wrong interview…Anyway here she is Stephanie Ullman!

Steph, Take a minute to introduce yourself.

my name is stephanie elise robert ullman, thought i am more commonly known by the name steph…which i must say i like better cuz my name is weird. but i digress, i was born in lakewood at kimball and have lived in various houses all over TR for my entire life aside from a short stint in holmdel for about 6 months where i repeatedly punched myself in the face and drove to toms river every day

Stephanie in high school the hatred that you and I had for one another ran deep. What was the turning point for you when you no longer called me enemy but friend?

i think it was getting to know you sean. you tend to have a very abrasive personality at times…and so do i – this was a deadly mixture until you and i got to know the kindness in one anothers hearts. i can vividly remember sitting at the lunch table sophomore year of high school with pete cappello, mike mignon, and greg coleman (odd combo)- making fun of you as you sat there. i apologize for this. once we graduated and moved on to college i think we both matured and we thrown into spending a lot of time together at rider and there, you and i were able to get past the obnoxiousness that we both possess at times and become good friends. this friendship has continued despite some incidents…such as the one where i made you cry for a comment you made to me. you and i have a love/hate relationship – sometimes we hate each other and sometimes we are the best of friends….i think we have become accustomed to this

You’ve had more cars then Craig since your younger years of 17. Of all of these which automobile was your favorite?

i have – and this is the plight of being an ullman…dave has had 3 identical gtis…but anyway – i think that the ti will always hold a special place in my heart since it was my first car. but my present black gti with red seats – is the car i have taken the most pride in since i think it is super sexy. also being that i spend a lot of time with tim, the great car conisseur…he kind of inspires me to notice things i never did before, such as the sound of the engine…which i have recently discovered the sexiness of…so i would say this one is my favorite.

Stephanie in high school you had a high profile relationship with a Mr. Chris Kordulak. You have since parted ways. My question is, if pitted in a wrestling match against the other high profile couples of our high school would you and Chris have won?

i think not. chris and i were friends that thought we were more – unlike other couples who were present at the time….i think they would have had an edge over us. despite my amazing wrestling skills.

thats what this question is about. Wrestling skills.

to me it would be more about working together – i dunno how chris’s wrestling skills are… me and chris had a fucked up relationship and honestly when i think about it its more like 3 years of a good friendship as opposed to anything more. i mean it def taught us both a lot about life. i dont know how we would have done against other couples…i can tell you about tims wrestling skills and him and i would kick everyones ass…and i bet you that chris and dara would kick ass as well, cuz you cant compare me and chris to the other people in high school, it was of a different breed. in our present relationships, however, i think we could kick ass

All I am asking you is would you have Kicked Bill Yannetti and Krisiti Fazio’s Ass or Nick Gargulo and Alyssa Raymondi’s ass in a wrestling match?

maybe nick and alyssa but bill yannetti is pretty stacked so i would say not them. although i prefer my philosophical answers that i provided you with earlier

Steph if you could have three wishes what would they be?

that is a very tough question….i would wish for eternal happiness and love for myself and everyone i care about
i would wish for the continuation of good music forever from the bands that i love so i never get pissed off at them
i would wish for the greatness of wendys and dunkin donuts to be combined into one location as has been done with pizza hut and kfc…so that i can get a nice lunch and snack all at once

Stephanie when you and I speak to one another on the phone or in person we talk like old british men. Any reason for this?

i think its because we enjoy being silly…and also because i do that all the time with various people. also – you and i tend to use a high level vocabulary. i dont really know why except its funny – so yeah

IF you and I produced offspring do you think they would abandon all forms of normal communication and only speak in this “high vocabulary british” style?

this is very possible

Brandon Hans, Prince of Darkness or Child of the night?

hmmm – child of the nighti would have to say – although i really have no idea

While you were Vice-President of the Senior class would you have impeached any of your fellow executive officers?

yes i would have to say i would have. there a was an obvious split in the unity that should have been the class officers – janice and i…and matt and jaime – junior year i think we all did a good job. senior year however, with the envokement of the celestine prophesy and other distractions…at times jaime and matt were not as involved as they should have been and a lot was left to janice and i – we were pissed off at times…it was annoying – though it all seemed to work out in the end and 3 years later all hard feelings are dissolved. janice and i spent many hours in mr maninos room planning events and one of the most exciting days was when we snuck into maninos back room and discovered his shrine to sarah michelle geller – right there in the middle of upper c wing

Who would you say are your biggest influences in your life?

my parents, fat mike for some of my favorite music, my boyfriend tim, my brother, craig savitsky and his hating of all people, sean and his wendys influence, my dear friends kate and kathleen, the makers of volcom, george washington, george washington carver, toni from love cruise/paradise hotel, don mattingly, john stamos, nigel withersmith, and mrs. t

If you could change one thing about you what would it be?

i dont think i would change anything – i am happy with myself as i am…maybe i would be a little more patient, other than that nope

Final question, Sean Piotrowski man or myth?

definately man – i dont think anyone would believe a myth that was told about you..

Stephanie I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer these questions and I hope everyone enjoys getting to know you a bit better. Any final thoughts?

not really – but i thank you as well for taking time out of your busy schedule to ask me these insightful questions

I hope you guys enjoyed that. Cause if you didn’t I’m gonna kill you all. On a side note, the Stigmata have begun to appear on the palms of my hands. I have these red circles on the palms of my hands and they hurt like a bitch. Its just a matter of time before they start to bleed and people flock from Idaho to worship me…

I’m tired so thats it…

Till next time…”Bite it you scum…”

You see I get angry a lot. I have different stages of anger. Most of which these stages do not effect the people around me. But one stage does and you’re looking at it in that picture. You see if I get to that point of anger I get so angry that I’m actually calm. I’m like a time bomb waiting to go off. Its like the eye of a hurricane, calm and pleasant but as the storm moves on the eye goes away and the hurricane unleashes its mighty winds and rain. Thats me. For instance when this picture was taken I was having a bad day. You see I was supposed to hang out with this girl but being the stupid slut that she is, she bailed on me with the lamest excuse in the world so I was allready aggitated. Then we all decided to go to the boardwalk BUT we had to go pick up Stephanie’s boyfriend the Holy Diver. So we drive to his house and Steph says, “Just sit in the car he’ll be right out.” 5 minutes go buy no Diver. I say, “Steph why dont you call him?” Steph, “No he’ll be out soon.” Another 10 minutes go buy, Me: “Steph go ring his doorbell.” Steph:”No he’ll be out soon I dont want to bother his parents.” MY anger meter which was at about a 6 before all this was at an 8 now. 20 more minutes go by, Me: “STEPH GO RING HIS FUCKING DOOR BELL!” Steph: “NO SEAN, he’ll be out soon.” Me: “YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR 35 MINUTES NOW GO RING HIS GOD DAMNED BELL!” Steph doesn’t move. Anger meter reaches about a 9.5. Another 10 minutes goes by, ME: “IF YOU DONT FUCKING CALL HIM RIGHT NOW IM LEAVING” Steph then proceeds to call. Tim comes out. After 45 minutes of sitting in his driveway he comes out. Now I’m at a 10 on the anger scale and the calm has set in. Craig then takes the picture you now see. Tim comes out to the car. First words out of his mouth, “Why didn’t you ring the door bell? I’ve been waiting here for 45 minutes for you guys.” The hurricane has shifted course and the eye is gone welcome the storm. I proceed to lambast Stephanie and completely lose my temper…Everyone laughs including her boyfriend. Then Dave and Tim proceed to make fun of her for being afraid of ringing his doorbell…

Moral of the story: Don’t be gay and not ring anyone’s door bell. Especially your significant other’s and ESPECIALLY when I’m being courteous enough to pick them up for you…

Tommrow or whenever I post next, we’ll have an interview with the Firehouse herself, Stephanie Elise Ullman…

Till next time…”X’ll mark the place…”

Hello one and hello all. I am back and as Promised I have the interview with Skanko finished…

Well its pretty much taken all week to get this interview finished but here it is. My interview with Craig Brian Savitsky. A person I have known since the 6th grade and has been a very good friend to me since day one. Ladies and gentleman I give you Skanko himself…

Craig, Take a minute to introduce yourself.

Well, my name is Craig Savitsky,better known as skank, skanko, or any variation of the word skank. I’ve lived in tr since i was born and ill probably die here… hopefully in a blaze of glory. I go to penn state where i am a business logistics major and should graduate in June. Dont mind my punction and spelling this keyboard sucks and ithink my brother jizzed on it.

Craig what is it that drives you to be the homicidal madman that you are?

good question, i dont really know… i guess the giant amount of fucking idiots that I am priviledged enough to notice on a daily basis… i mean real fucking morons that probably dont deserve to use oxygen,let alone exist. Also, I’ve worked with “John Q. Public” aka “John Q. ASSHOLE” at every single job i’ve ever had. Take yesterday for example, i talked to about 125 people on the phone in just a few hours Imagine the percentage of those people that are morons or idiots or just generally rude and inconsiderate…. now multiply what u thought by about 10 and thats the real number of those people… dealing with them for this long has probably made me hate them… also i drive in NJ and we all know the number of idiots on the road here…. but my main problem and why i hate people is that people just dont take two seconds to think before they act or say something and then freak out when the result is bad and blame it on everything but themselves…if everyone just took a step back and thought for a SECOND before they did things, the difference would be amazing

What is it that should be done to these Assholes?

i honestly dont know… some should just be banned from procreating… and others should be killed so that the non-assholes ofthe world can use their body parts for transplants and stuff, i think that would solve the lack of transplant donor problem

It is my understanding that this summer you have devoted a lot of your listening time in music to the genre of Metal. Can you explain this?

u have to get past the insane screaming and when u actually listen to the music part of it, its very intense and very energetic. i have never been one to listen to “chill” music, i need something with energy and excitement, rap, punk and metal have suited me best so far. i cant stand listening to whiny music or something that sounds the same over and over (coughDAVEMATHEWScough), its just not for me and dont even get me started on emo or these fake punk imposters that are out today i dont have the time or the finger strength to type about it.

If you were givin three wishes what would they be?

well i dont think id go for the ever popular WORLD PEACE cuz we all know that would last for a whole second. ok so here goes:

1.) the ability to travel, forwards and backwards, through time……i mean come on who doesnt have something they regret or who doesnt wanna see where they are 10yrs from now so if they dont like it they can change what they are doing now

2.) an everlasting supply of money, so that my father never had to work again, and i could do all the half-brained things ive been dreaming of doing, and also so i could take care of the people i care about and love

3) teriffic health and well being for everyone i know and love so that we could enjoy our lives to the fullest and be in peak physical condition, all the money and possesions in the world are worth nothing if you dont have loved ones to share them with. also its easier than going to the gym.

wow. #3 was a pretty generic answer but oh well

Craig you’ve been with many women in your life. Ariel Port, Charlee Newman, Becky Buist, Stephanie Whittam, Amanda Parisi, and Lindsay Cerminara. What would say is the secret to a successful relationship?

ha. u had to mention my past gf’s didnt you. i was going to say i dont know but now i do. i dont do things half-assed, i either do them how i think they should be done, or i dont bother to do them at all, doing something half-assed is a waste of EVERYONE’s time. That being said, i only get myself into a relationship if i really think that its worth it and if i do, then im willing to put my all into the relationship and do everything in my power to make it work. it also has alot to do with the person ur in a relationship with. if you love them , its easy to make it work and make sacrifices, because those sacrificies are nothing compared to being with someone that your in love with and making them happy. my golden rule basically is this: before you do something, imagine the reverse (aka someone doing it to you), if it annoys, upsets, angers, etc.. you or if you KNOW that it would not be recieved well by that person, then dont do it. ‘i didnt think about it ‘ or ‘it just happened’ are two of the most lame excuses in the world. basically, it all comes down to RESPECT. (im very big on respect, mafia style i guess) act towards someone the way u want people to treat u, and ur in goodshape.

Do you have any regrets about any of your past relationships?

eh, whatever, you live you learn. i try to do thingsto the best of my ability so i guess not

If you could be anyone other then yourself who would you be?

maybe snoop dogg, or sam jackson, maybe bam, or someone. just someone who’s interesting and not the same old thing.

Final Question. Sean Piotrowski, Man or Myth?

A Man who proports himself to be a myth, because its the american dream to be larger than life and lady death strike piotrowski wants to eat american pie, smoke cigars, drink beers, bang blondes and live to be the human embodiment of the american dream

Craig it has been a pleasure interviewing you and I thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to sit down with us. Any last words before we go?

anytime sean. umm parting words? it should probably be something profound. i got it…FUCK YOU

Well folks I’m off to begin my weekend. You will hear from me again soon. Remember to keep checking back for my upcoming projects that I’m doing for you guys…

Till next time…”Inhale Inhale You’re the Victim EXHALE EXHALE EXHALE”
