Just short of a year since their last visit here to the Knit stage, Skeletonwitch — an Ohio metal quintet — brings their show to the much more intimate all-ages venue, the Hop!  

The Prosthetic Records band plays a brand of thrash that's tightly wound and uncoils fast. Skeletonwitch toys with the typically masculine nature of thrash, though, by adding in Chance Garnette's signature black metal vocals over the top of speeding guitars and new drummer Dustin Boltjes' blastbeats. It's dark, evil headbangery — and just the type of band that's awesome to see up close on a small stage.

Come see Skeletonwitch with BarnBurner, Odyssey, Benign, and Reign of Ashes today, Tuesday July 31. They'll be playing at 7 pm at the Hop. Tickets are $12 for all ages.  

For more information click here, or call 368-4077.

Did you know America produces an estimated 9 billion chickens a year and we eat about 7.5 billion? Does that startling figure make you hungry?

If so, stop by Main Market Co-op today for a taste of guilt-free, hormone-free chicken from Heritage Naturals, who we profiled here. Hurry. The complimentary tasting started at 10 am.

To the couple in my apartment complex who stole my milk out of the
community kitchen. Thanks for not drinking it all and throwing it in the
garbage. How low can you get.

I can't believe we've made it this far. With you having to go back to
Seattle and me being in Cd'A for the majority of our relationship and now
you're living with me. We get to see each other every day and I have never
been happier in my entire life. Everything you do just catches me in awe. I
love you more than you would ever know. Everything about you just makes me
love you so much more, your laugh can make anyday better no matter what
happens. I always look forward to coming home from school and having you
hide somewhere in the garage and scare me or jump up and hug me. I never
would of thought that the kid that waved to me at the beach that one day
last summer would ever mean this much to me, but you do and I'm the
luckiest girl in the world having you in my life as my boyfriend. You are
the love of my live and I can't wait to spend it with you baby. Happy One
Year my love and may there be many to come. I love you most infinity. So
ha! toe jew! P

It started with a look across a bar which led to a kiss and and a shell
from Oregon. 3 yrs later we are married, in a beautiful home, raising 3
awesome kids with an amazing baby boy growing in my belly. Through all the
ups and downs over the last year you have been my rock. So I wanna say
cheers to you for how amazing of a man you are, your mom would be proud.
Cheers to you for how hard you work to support our family. Cheers to you
for always being a thoughtful and caring husband and friend. You always put
others before yourself and always make me feel so loved. You are my soul
mate and I'm so blessed to be with you and bring your son into the world. I
love our family and I love you. Cheers to living the dream in Oregon one day

To the short sale team -- We accepted your offer in February on a house.
Heard nothing. In May you raised the price, again we accepted. Heard
nothing. It has been for sale for 340 days, 170 days since I made first
offer. Now it is going back to a negotiator, why, so you can raise the
price again? What is the problem? My realtor, your realtor, and your
closing agent said this should have been closed by June 1st. Is it any
wonder homes are going into foreclosure with banking systems like this?
Almost forgot you made me put down a deposit so I can not back out without
losing it. Good Job, you landed another sucker.

Jeers the lowlife dirtbag on the Broadway bus Thursday the 5th who stole my
moms wallet. Unlike you my mom rides the bus three hours to get back and
forth to work everyday. She is fifty, raised two kids on a poor man's
salary. She had just cashed her check and had $280 left for the rest of the
month but you know that! Thanks for taking the new book of stamps too!
Thanks for returning the wallet by chucking it in the community garden
behind the cop shop though and for having the decency to not steal her
identity. I hope you got high enough to forget how horrible of a person you
are! You'll get back what you give and my mom has family who love her
enough to replace the money you stole!

You have captured my Heart, and that was not an easy thing to do. I realize
we only had a brief moment in time in our lives, but I want you to know
that it was one of the most amazing weeks of my life. I got to know the
most beautiful woman in the world that night. I really do believe we were
on one of the most wonderful and enchanting journeys that two people can
partake in their lives. I also wanted you to know that you made my birthday
and vacation week one of the best I have had in a long time, despite
everything that happened. I got to spend it with a very special person, it
is one I will never forget. I also wanted to say I you will always have my
deepest admiration, and I will always wish you the best in life. Your
smile always brighten up my day, so keep smiling and enjoying life, because
dreams do come true someday. Thanks for everything.
