Mark Briddle's House Party
Westminster, CA
September 18, 1999
"Welcome to the loudest party in the neighborhood!" William greeted a room full of about 30 revellers who came out for drink, socializing, and to see Raven Mad and hard rock/metal cover band Section 8 (now known as The Goon Squad). This was Raven Mad's first house party, and it went very well. The house was left in pristine condition, Westminster's finest never made an appearance, and all who attended had themselves a great time.
Raven Mad would like to thank our kind host, Mark Briddle, for letting us use his house, Chris Silva of Section 8 for choreographing the whole event and for taping the performance, and Wendy Moreno for video taping the show. And of course, we' d like to especially thank all of you who attended the show!
The house was well-equipped for parties, being as how friends and the other residents of the house had been or were still in bands. Section 8 and Raven Mad shared equipment pulled together from both sources in addition to the equipment that remained permanently in Mark's livingroom.
There was qutie an impressively bottle collection on the mantle. Even more impressive was the "beer fridge" in the garage; it was an old refridgerator with a tap permanetly attached to the outside door; you need only insert the keg and pour for a nice cold beer.
Joe gave a stellar performance.
There was plenty of room to romp around on "stage" in Mark's living room
