but there's a light on in chicago - and i know i should be home
Just got back from the Mean Fiddler in London. Picture a small concert venue ala Birch Hill (more like starland but not quite as big),.,
i got to see FaLL Out Boy and Spitalfield,., in London. Friggen Amazing
The opener was this band My Beautiful Compilation (i think) and they punkd out pretty hard surpisingly one of the better openers ive heard - at least of the ones i didnt know.
Spitalfield was pretty damn good too - short set but really good. Another surprise was their fairly large UK following for a not that big band.
FaLL Out Boy simply WOW. Concerts in London are much different it seems then concerts in the States. There was no real moshpit instead everyone just like pushes left to right then when it hit the far right the right people push back. It gets pretty intense but in a more fun way then a walled moshpit where everyones kicking and punching. Everyone lets loose more and just jumps around with the music. i was with this kid Sahil, dont even ask how i met him - the story is way too good and we weaved to the front of the front. I lost him pretty quick though. then i was having maintaining the front and started getting pulled with the current to more of the middle right of the stage when get this,.,
These 2 drunk kids started pushing and gettn serious and like they were pushing into me and shit but i didnt care cause i didnt really want to get involved. Then one of the kids decks the other kid and his friend runs over and starts pushing the kid and he pushes him into me,., so i push him off and the dickhead swings at me. Without even thinking i just duck under the punch and kinda pushed the punch upward and without thinking again just hooked the kid right in the mouth and he fell to the ground. Definently split his lip cause blood was like down his chin and then the kid who he originally pushed kinda like threw him away from us and we sorta laughed cynically and went back to our head bob.
I have never really punched anyone like that before and it happened so fast - instinctual really,., But theres more,.,
Then after the show im checking out the merch and i ask to see a shirt and as the girl behind the thing hands it to me i get ripped from behind by that fucking kid who i decked. And he liked pulled me away from the booth but since it was by the door the guards just grabbed the kid cause they saw him grab me and made him wait there i dunno for what. But as a result of that i was standing outside cause of the kids/guards still with the shirt in my hand ala FREE SHIRT.
So all in all a weird ass concert experience but probably the most fun show i can remember,.,
My smile's an open wound without you
and my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back.
Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say.
Tonight I'm writing you a million miles away
