local h played in austin tonight and i just knew i had to be there. jesse and matt went seperately and left about an hour before i did and alex led me to believe he wanted to go. when he told me he didn't want to after all i was a bit annoyed but decided to venture out on my own for a change. the drive was nice. i love driving long distances alone, gives me time to think things through.
so i show up in austin around 9:30, the show was scheduled to start at 10 but jesse calls me up and lets me know local h isn't taking stage until 12:30. needless to say we had a bit of time to kill. i met up with the guys and was a little put off by the fact they were talking to a crazy austin homeless man. jeezus do they ever run aplenty downtown. anyway,after hearing some really horrible homeless jokes we took off down 6th street and just kind of killed time by going into gift shops and listening to this crazy street performer who looked just like flava flav. he was wearing goggles and playing a bass,oh yeah he was black too. anyway, after that we went to whataburger grabbed some grub then headed back towards emo's. we got in for the exceptionally great price of 10 bucks and local h was just setting up.
goddamn was the show AMAZING. although, come to think of it, this was the 4th time i've seen the h and they always seem to get better. the only bad thing was me slipping in some spilled beer and getting trampled by the pit during high fivin' mf. i was fine but just a bit upset i wasn't able to push and shove with everyone else because i was on the floor. nevertheless, scott wooed me so with his super sexy voice and rock out antics. he's such an awesome performer and musician and he's so humble about it. that's what makes me love him.
after the show i politely asked brian for the only set list which was taped down right by his drumset. i didn't think i had much of a shot because two guys had already asked him for it but i decided to ask anyway and got a "sure you can have my setlist" as a response. i was sooo happy. then i ran and got scott to sign it and brought it back to brian and he did the same. fucking fantastic guys, sensational show, and a thrilling time was had by all...
