OMG
today i did something that i have wanted to do for the last 7 or 8 years, i saw tom waits in concert, thats right THE tom WAITS!!! caravanned in my mr2 following josiah and lisa, in rose and joe's car, being followed by chad and justin and thimble and the ever witty steve-o....great group to waste time with before the show, josiah also helped me find a ticket since i didn't have one, but it fell through at the final moment only to be rescued by a thin video editor from pheonix with tattoo's...very cool guy sold me the ticket at face value, i smoked on the way down there, i drank when i got there and i used to concert to sober up, it was ...i still don't have words for it, buring a section of his ballads i went into an eye's barely open mediational state of some sort, i had visions, artistic crazy scenes played out in fast foreward, i left my body it wasn't even like being human...then bam right back to the moment, ....amazing....
the crowd was full of older people, arty people, gothy people, sharp dressed youngsters, but i was the only one in a spiked gutter punk leather jacket...they made me coat check it...seriously...the palace in louisville is an old theather that i believe was very well upkept or remodelled sometime in its past, its something out of a victorian, my elizabethian-esque dream...perfect setting for the show...i wish i had words...
one of the people behind me summed it up well, so i'll quote the cute blonde "i don't care what else happens in the rest of my life, this will always be in the top ten." LOL my sentiments exactly, probably for most people in the crowd, (which was international, i heard foriegn conversations) "i just flew in from new york and i have to leave on the red eye"...insert any major city not on the tour and i heard some one say it...LOL and i didn't even buy a ticket till i got there...HA! take that world!
