i'm shipping up to Boston
so last night was one of the best and funnest shows in a long time. Horrorpops and Dropkick Murphys. it was my 6th time seein Dropkick, 3rd time seein Horrorpops. we got to the masquerade, met up with the krrs and hollie, went into purgatory and got some drinks. after sittin there watchin True Romance, wattz hears a stand up bass playin. we rush up to see the Horrorpops on. totally badass. the best horrorpops show ive seen . theyre down to a three piece, along with two go-go dancers. i went to the bathroom only to find it lined up out in the hall so i said fuck it and went bak to the crowd and got a great spot right up front on the side behind a couple people. well, halfway into the horrorpops set, these two girls in front of me start a brawl: it started with one chick slamming the other chick's head against the speakers. secuirty jumps on em and kicks em out. so i get right up on the stage on the side for the rest of the show. after horrorpops, emily and rachel moved to where i was standin. rachel went to get beer so it was me and emily pretty much the entire time dropkick played. we had to deal with the crowd surfers coming off stage but it was fuckin worth it to stand so close to dropkick. we could reach out and touch the guirtarist and ken casey. im glad emily was right up there with me. half way through the show, will crowd surfed and came past us.on dropkci's last song, kiss me im shitfaced, they always get a bunch of girls fromo the audience on stage. emily didnt know what was goin on when the security pulledher up first onto the stage. rachel comes up to me askin whats goin on, i tell her to get up there but she refuses. so i pushed her onto the stage. that was their last song, all the girls come off the stage. im glad emily and rachel got to go onstage at their first dropkick show. but it wasnt over. the security told me that they were comin bak out for an enocre and after the first song he said i could get onstage if i wanted, jus had to be fast about. i turned around to look for thomas,grabbed him and pulled him to me, told him what was up then dropkick came bak out. first song was i'm shipping up to boston, the one song i wanted to hear the most that evening. after that song, they start skinhead on the ntb and securitrty mvoes out of my way. thomas and i were onstage with dropick fucking murphys. this has been a dream of mine to be onstage during dropkicks final song since i first saw them with will about 4 years ago.thomas, im really glad u were up there with me, it couldnt have been any better. we moshed, headbanged, skanked, pogoed all while skinhead was playin, then the last song was alcohol. which was great since we both had beeers in our hands. WE WERE ONSTAGE WITH THE FUCKIN BAND. there will never a show as good as that at the masquerade, it cant be topped. how could you top it, it was the best dropkick show ever. ive totally gotta go to boston now to see em on st. patty's day. good tunes, good brews, good friends, food times. oh man im sore today. my neck hurts, my left arm is sore from fist pumpin the entire show, i smell better, and i jus feel like being lazy all day. gonna dig out my dropkick dvd and the departed, smoke a bowl and jus chill all day. somebody holla at me if ur lookin for company.
