Projekt Revolution: Aftermath
Projekt Revolution: aftermath
well, i'm home. my ears are ringing, and my equilibrium is all sorts of fucked up. projekt revolution was a blast. i got there around 3 in the afternoon. long ass line. when i finally got inside the first thing i did was order a beer. eight motherfuckin dollars for a beer! and it wasn't even a good beer. it was a miller. then i went to the tshirt stand to see what they had. i was looking for a sleeveless tee because it was hot as nuts out there today. all they had that was sleeveless was a wifebeater that said "linkin park" up the side of it. so i got that. 25 bucks... for a motherfuckin wifebeater that i could have gotten at wal mart for 5, and i can't even wear it out in public. only rednecks and jock idiots wear wifebeaters in public. nonetheless, it was considerably cooler than what i had been wearing, so i suppose the mission was accomplished. less than jake was the first band on stage in the pavillion, but i didn't pay them any mind because i'm not really into punk all that much. then the used was next. i went for a walk for awhile around the hill, and some girl ran up to me and gave me her beer. said she bought it not knowing it was a lager, and she doesn't like lagers, so there i was with a free beer. woohoo. but anyways, where was i? oh yeah, the used. so, i went to my seat to catch the last half of their performance. they weren't as good as i had expected. but they weren't a total loss either. after they were done i went for another walk, and ran into keith and my boss... both of them drunk. they had been drinking for the last 2 hours in the parking lot before they came in. wished i had thought of that. but anyhow, keith just kinda gravitated to the trojans booth as soon as he got into the park. you're only s'posed to take one condom, but he kept hitting on the distributer, so she gave him about ten of them so he'd go away. so then he starts fanning them out and bragging like he had just wone first prize at the state fair, and i snatched about half of them out of his hands. he was too drunk to care. so i helped him find his seat, which i might add was significantly further from the stage than mine (he had been bragging that his ticket was closer than mine all week before he actually got the thing and found out otherwise), and then i went to my oh-so-close seat and watched snoop dogg smoke 2 blunts on stage and exchange shotguns with a member of the audience before trotting off at the end of his set on a tricycle (blunt in mouth, 40 in hand, of course). next up was korn. jon davis came out in a black kilt with checkered racing stripes on the sides. maybe it's just me, but he's looking fatter these days. yes, he had his h.r. giger mic stand with him (god i want that thing for myself sooo bad). they covered "the wall" from pink floyd. it was pretty interesting. and they had a screen in the background playing images of weird shit the whole time, too. then linkin park came on. now, the coolest part about their set was the encore, when they covered "wish" from nine inch nails. that motherfuckin rocked. then they ended with "one step closer." john davis came out to sing his part for that one, too. and lp also had the screen going on in the background playing a bunch of animae, except when they played numb, it was different. it showed like this riot or something, people vs. police in riot gear. and in the middle of it all was this little kid, no more than like 8, and when the chorus came in it showed the kid screaming and you just see this sonic boom wipe out everything within a mile radius of him. that was awesome. and they played "step up" and "it's going down." in the middle of their set i took the condoms i had stolen from keith and made baloons out of them. then i tossed them into the crowd, so you saw like six condallons bouncing all over the place, it was neat. made me feel like i had started something important. somewhere out there some dude is going to be telling his children in the future about how when he saw linkin park live this giant inflated trojan whacked him in the back of the head. lol. anyways, the beer and the t-shirt broke me, so i stayed pretty much dehydrated the whole time, which sucked but fuck it. i had fun. i'll be sore in the morning, but it was worth it. i'm gonna go fix something to eat now before i fall asleep and forget to. see you later.
