My nite at a rock show..... if this doesn't work with LJ cut, sue me!!!
I went to a rock show last nite with Penn, Em, and Laz. Some little club in Ft. Lauderdale called The Venu. We were going there to see HOOBASTANK. Great band.... The first opening act was a band called LETTERKILLS. Very good, they sound a little like Blindside, to me. Anyways, they did a few songs. The lead had a fascination with throwing the mic up in the air, and tossing in around. He dropped it like twice, which is actually pretty good seeing how many times he threw it up and caught it. He threw it up once and it smack the guitarist in the hand while he was playing. But he kept playing... all is good. He even threw it up once and dropped and tried picking it back up and missed up where he missed one or two words. But he got the mic back and con't to sing. He was pissing off the security guards singing in there ear. Like literally screaming in there ear. It was great.
The second band to perform was DIE TRYING. They look fairly young actually. But once again they were really good. For some reason the lead reminds me of Corey Hayes. Go figure. They played a few songs. They got all serious on us, and was like " I need to ask a serious question, with all the wars and all this BS, who likes to f*ck"? Ok, now there were these two 12 yrs. standing next to me screaming. I'm sorry, your 12 for crying out loud. Not to mention the damn 12yrs. but there were also these 2 older women, I'm talking about 30 ?? yrs old. One was some blond drunk and the other was some bald wanna be Sinead o' Connor. Now they were in front of me, and they really shouldn't have been there. The only reason why they were there was because the drunk woman was hitting on the security guard. So instead of being behind the gate like everyone else had to be, they were in front of the gate with the security guard. Now this woman was totally dancing and rubbing up on this guy. It's a rock show, you dont booty dance and rub on someone. She pissed me off a few times, cuz she kept getting in front me.
So now........ HOOBASTANK comes on. It was one hell of a show. They rocked! People got into moshing, and crowd surfing. Dude... this 40 yr. old woman crowd surfed. Granted she was pretty small, but she came out of the crowd wanting to do it again. It was crazy. Girls started to throw there bras on stage. And then....... eewww, the drunk woman in front of me, threw her thong. That was sick. But the band picked it up and hung it on the drums and rocked on. Not a pleasant site.
So the show is over. Had a blast. Saw that the guys from Die Trying was passing out stickers and autographing them. So I went over to the guitarist. He was like "hey how's it goin", stupid me....... i'm like "hi". duh!!! Then I sound like a total retard, i sound country. Cuz i say ya'll. So i'm like "we're ya'll from"? He's like "Sacramento". Yeah, then i walked away. I see the bassist, get him to sign. They I go over to the lead... i get another sticker so i dont squeeze all the signatures together and he signs it. He's like " so... you coming to the pool party". Dude there is a pool party in a near by hotel. All the bands were going to be there. But... unfortunately, we did not go. I was looking from the drummer, i mean its kinda hard to miss him. He's got like really blond hair and its like mohawk deal..... we ended up finding him. "he's like its hard to miss me", so yeah he signs it. That completed the whole band. I wanted to get autographs from Letterkills, but they weren't there, at least i couldn't find them. Sucked. But I did want something to take home with me. A memento if you will, a towel, a pic, even the set list.... But i got nothing. Then Penn walks up to me, and hands me a pic that says Letterkills. I love her. I put it in my album of bands i've seen. And things like that. That was my nite.
