Fuckin' eh.
Went to Planet Rock last night with Rob, Erin, Matt, and Jeb. We saw St. Diablo, Confliction, and POWERMAN 5000! Powerman is fuckin' AWESOME. Incredible energy, great performance. If you tell Spider he reminds you of Billy Idol, he'll laugh and say "I get that a lot". I also asked him when they were coming back around to the area and he said "we should be back soon, we have some touring to do..." "Soon huh? That's what Fear Factory told me 2 years ago and they haven't been back yet". We laughed at that. Adrian (the drummer) shares beer and likes to bite boobies. During the set, 3 marines standing next to me started yelling "Bomb Shell!" and Spider smiles and says "good things come to those who wait" and like 3 songs later they played it. I also found out, if Powerman 5000 is left at Wal-Mart without supervision, they'll act like normal weird people and half-way terrorize the place.
During the PM5K set, 3 people got dragged out and booted from the club for crowd surfing. I got knocked over by 2 Planet Rock security guys on their way to grab a crowd surfer, then 4 people landed on top of me as Rob is trying to pick me back up and one guy tripped over me and stepped on my nuts.
This was Matts first concert ever, and he's 22. I still can't figure that one out.
Confliction are good guys and they'll give you free stuff if it's your birthday (it was Jebs birthday, and he got a free CD and a lighter).
And once again, St. Diablo was completely r0x0r. Hanging out in the hotel with them is like hanging out at home, only with more people. Chris (bassist) got wrecked and passed out on the floor because he fell off the bed and wouldn't get up. Justin (guitar) got wrecked and passed out on the foot of the bed where Chris was until he fell off. Tito (vox) and Brandon (percussion) were not wrecked, but passed out watching the history channel, and Erik (drums) drank until he passed out sitting on the floor next to the bathroom. Around 4:30 we got up to leave, and just as we were almost out the door, Tour Manager Timmy says all drunk like "alright, if you're not on the St. D bus.. I'ma have to kick you out." "No shit Tim, see where we're going?" *points to the hallway* "Oh, oh yeah, take it easy guys, thanks for coming out."
That had to be one of the best shows of my life.
