been to any good concerts lately? me neither
well...in my time i have been to some really shitty gigs but i think this one melts the faces off them all, gather round young ones and i shall regial you with my anicdotal tales of betryal, boredom and drunken rage.
As far as saturday afternoons go i cant really complain, what with the getting wasted all day in Manchester and everything, spent the day wandering around with my friends in a drunken state witch i gotta say was pretty kool..i didnt really care what went on most of the day due to the fact i had free tickets to a concert later on that day courtesy of xtaster and darren.
Now from here is where things get fucked up. We ended up turning up late for the concert becuse of me having to stop home instead of getting the train directly from manchester to liverpool and change my pants on account of me ripping the hell out of the ones i was wearing,damn it..i loved those pants but nevermind i said to myself, ill get to meet reuben tonight..keeping in mind id been saying this to myself all day, i guess i figured it would compensate for anything bad that happened.
In the end it didnt really matter that we where late because the first support was only halfway through the set it gave me and darren time to look at the merch stand and get soem beers before reuben came on as the main support..the concert was acctually a hunderd reasons as the main band but we came for reuben.
It turned out wiht us missing some of reubens set as we spent too long in the bar...i ran in halfway through wooden boy, that pissed me off a bit but no matter "ill get to meet reuben later".
It was a pretty cool set with them playing some of thier new songs and finishing on freddy kreuger but i think i missed them playin my favorite song ever which was "stux"..but nevermind eh?
Well, after the set finished i took darren to the bar to buy him a drink..i had a bit of money left so why not? I spend 15 minutes sitting in the bar wiht darrens drink waiting for him to come back from the toilet..worried about him i abandon the drinks in hope no one will steal them to go looking for him..i find him in the toilets..he then begins explaining how he got lost and ended up in reubens dressing room getting them to sign a poster for him and get some pictures with him and the band..now seeming as he knows how bigger reben fan i am and seeming as i was the one who got him into reuben in the first place you think he would have gone to get me or at least got them to sign something for me but no..nothing..not a sausage...in retrospect i should have been furoius at him being so selfish but no...i just take him back to the bar and give him his drink i bought for him.
After we finished we wondered back into the concert hall where 100 reasons where just starting...i got bored after 10 mintes and wondered out to go looking around...the next thing i know im being kicked the fuck out for going up some unmarked stairs..i end up having to stand in the rain and the wind for 45 minites waiting for darren to come out talking to some scallies who where trying to get back in cos they where cool.
When darren comes out im freezing my ass off and soaked through but i say i want to wait for reuben to come out but no..for some reason i let him drag me off to the station to get the train home, i was too drunk to complain.
After that i walked Darren home seeming as it was midnight and stayed over at his, i think he noticed i was pissed off..well it was hard becuse of all the bitching i did on the way home but he did seem to be trying to be nice to me for the rest of the night.
So thats it folks...thier are just some people in life that are born with a golden emblem on thier ass and i cant even get to meet the people i idolize and all i get is neumonia .
Oh and id like to point out that im not really that pissed off at you darren i just want to make it nice and clear that you owe me BIG!
