14th letter from Pierre

28(?)-08

Hello Keren.

Maybe not 28th, it’s saturday (27?) – Anyway – Received your letter today & just felt like writing

I don’t know how much it will long & you know why… I’ve written 2-3 letter in 1-2 week so have I only something to say… well, it’s late now (1.15 AM) -> sonday! & I should be sleeping &/or working for my exams in september… Gosh. I just don’t feel like doing it. you know holidays… if I miss it I can only blame myself so hope I’ll get it…

okay, you wanted the money ($7.5). I’ve sent $10 on friday. isn’t that cool! I hope you get it. Hey, maybe I can distro this new tape when it’s out. let mek now.

hope to get photos from the fest soon so I could send it to you along with the report… you could use it for your zine if you want –

why can’t you go to the upper Galillee & walk through the forests? isn’t there any other cool place you could go to? come on! I mean try & do your best. I guess I know what’s it like – see I just live in the countryside (my parents’ house) but I never do it when I feel down… duh! oh well, you’re still in a depressive mood aren’t you?? hope you’ll feel better soon. As I told you, I saw Chokehold too finally here!! (well in Belgium) some friends went to see snapcase & refused the 1st day. we stayed at the V’N’V, it was about 160 km & I don’t like snapcase so… I’d better stayed there & I had fun so…

Yeah, you were right. I was there & had fun you know, the more I think about it I wish so bad you were there it would’ve been cool & you wouldn’t be depressive by now (Just kidding) -> just don’t know about it –

Now it’s the […] again here except I have to work + tons of mail do do as I’ve been out for so long… bu after this, it’ll all start again – hope it’ll work out with the band!  oh yeah, I’ll also try & go vegan soon, well I was nearly one you know – the biggest problem is with my parents cooking (eggs, milk…) it’ll be the hardest point as I’m home during the weekend & holidays mostly but I’ll try my best – if this was only by me… it would be easy!!

hmmm… I have to order tapes (blank) & if I can I’ll make you one with various stuff you should like – hope you won’t know it already…

what I’ve done lately (today) clean & mess ed up my room (actually clean!) watched stupid stuff on TV – didn’t work!… oh yeah wrote a letter very late at night to one of my rare and favourite pals (more exactly)

& is it so late that I can’t write properly??

Can you only read me??

Well, my pals/ friends from CA don’t write me anymore (I told you before) so I don’t know where I’m gonna stay when going to the USA next summer I hope I can contact them again. Otherwise I have to find places to stay… you know about this girl I met in Belgium, well I feel so close to her, I’m not in love (or am I?) you know – I only know her from her letter & I just saw her at the previous fest – but well it was mainly like… I wanted to get to know her more personally. like ‘Best friends’ or so. you know she was sharing some of my points of view & feelings so I’d like I needed (& still need) to talk to her – it was kinda hard because maybe we were both “shy” or afraid, Why am I saying all this to you? well don’t know I just didn’t explain it well in the previous letter & you tell me so much about your personal stuff – so…

Does it sounds stupid? sorry then.

Okay – did I told you we were going to have tons of ‘big shows’ (NYHC style) here in RENNES this year?? It’s a friend of us who deals with this (mainly big stuff) Slapshot, Earth Crisis… maybe strife,… etc- I don’t know if I’ll go to all these shows. Some bands I don’t like (quite all, when it’s not the music it’s the attitude I hate!) + money… well he’s a friend so… it’s hard, I’ll see.

okay stop here for now

(& maybe stop it at all!) 2AM (nearly)

take care – good night!

sorry for the bad handwritting 😦 woaw I’m just not sure you can read it…

xPierre (says: have a cool day)

ok repeat it 33 times while smiling in the […]… you can keave!)

Bye

Pierre – letter 13

Hi Keren…

how are you?? hope you did get my letter. so, I’m back from the V’N’V (just yesterday evening) & well I have to work for september but I thought (as I said) that I would write to you before ‘cos then it would take more time if I wait…

okay, I should send you a report on this event ‘cos I’ve plan to do one, so if you want you can use it. I’ll try to make it as fast as I can before I could think to something else but well with those exams stuff I hope I’ll be able to! If dates are okay (after the exams) I should go too to the lead festival (crust V’N’V fest) in mid-sept.

okay – let’s start – I won’t talk to you too much about bands as I should do a small stuff on it but well, a few would’ve pleased you I guess, like: Mainstrike, ex-manliftingbanner. they ruled so much, they have a demo out now & if ever I can get it (all were sold out there) I’ll record it for you. it was just like MLB + cool old songs from GB, Bold, chain of strength… etc. Other cool bands were the italian ones: By all means (my fave!) Timebobm… Blindfold were cool  too so were kosjerd and… the big surprise that no one were waiting for: CHOKEHOLD! They were in tour in Europe & finally came around , we learned in on the 2nd day! Some other bands weren’t that cool & was even kinda violent (surprising hey?!) anyway, you’ll know more about bands when I’ll send my ‘report’ (I hope)

The other point I’d like to talk about is a bit more personal (but I just feel like doing it). I was a bit disappointed by some people’s attitude – A few guys (& girls) I’m in touch with just didn’t come along to see me. They just […] me & this made me crazy!!

I met (at last) a couple of cool people whom I just didn’t know before, they were from USA, playing for siren (ex-engage) & they were really friendly. They should come over  to france (No that sure yet)

I also met a girl I was in touch with. I which we would have time talk a little more together on first meeting (this) was a bit “shy”. I like her a lot, her letters were really cool & so was she when we exchange them for words…

oh well..

what else could I say.. no new stuff since I don’t really want to talk about this festival (I mean, the bands) here are $10 as I told you – you can send me like 2 more tapes of it (well protected) & I’ll send you one of mu comp. if you like it & can sell it then I can send you more. I still ave one of yours left so I can only take 2 more…

sorry about this..

okay keren, I wanted to make a longest letter but I just can’t find what to talk about so I’ll end it there hoping things are better for you… & go back to work

Take care, expect more news soon,

xPierre
