THE ARBITER FEB 1'1 2005 Something To Read:

BY ORN MCNEESE Culture Columnist

With the Epitaph Tour show a few hours away, I found myself at Rhodes skatepark. In my posses- sion were Sonny Moore and Matt Good of the underground band From First To Last. Being the hos- pitable host that I am, I suggested the native Floridians go skate- boarding for lack of better things to do before sound check. I didn't doubt an Epitaph punk band would want to go skateboarding. It was a gesture of good faith that I show them around town since I had only slammed them in a CD review a few days prior. I didn't mention to them that I did that though. Technically I didn't slam them as a band, but rather their fan base. I couldn't help but wonder if they ever read The Arbiter. I as- sumed they hadn't, but if they had, neither would have surprised me. Last semester I received hate mail from a dude in The Netherlands because I gave a negative review to "Weird AI" Yankovic. Driving around Boise, I asked them, "You guys ever read The Arbiter?" Hoping they hadn't, Sonny said, "The Arbiter?
