Today my body hurts. Yesterday I spent much of the time running around and playing soccer and tossing a football around. Saturday I finally bought a suit jacket to match my pants. Went to Kelly's wedding and had alcohol and fried chicken. Friday was the most fun point of the weekend though.
MKIO came to York. It was nice to drive 3 miles to a show and not have to worry about parking for once. It was pretty fun. The vodka/cran tasted like barf and I was a little creeped out by some people...like roofies in the yeungling creeped out, but luckily an announcement was made that mkio was only a couple blocks away about an hour or so into people watching and I breathed a sigh of relief. Some people start crap during their set. One in particular tries touching instruments etc. and gets hit in the face a couple times, by a bass guitar and Natasha's fist. Nothing real serious, but still there was some tension throughout the set...and nobody was removed until later when somebody got a little uglier and drunker. I believe Mr. 'I got hit in the face' tried to start moshing or something, I don't know...all I know is that I was on the opposite end of the room and ended up getting bumped aside, before the big bald dude finally took him downstairs in a headlock. Still pissed me off though. I'm not one of those people that likes to dis' where I live a lot...I work for where I live...but I can't say I didn't anticipate someone acting stupid--See Live's 'Shit Towne.' In the end though it was good. MKIO did some business and some of the loudmouths even bought cd's. I finally bought the 2 cd's I didn't have and a t-shirt. Good times--noodle salad. There are at least some people with taste around here, maybe something can come of it...actually one of my favorite concert experiences was millennium music conference in Harrisburg back in...2005. Howard and I were obviously the only people there for music, sat through all...3?..4? of the first acts until Chrysalis comes on and nobody is really paying attention. By the time they finish they have maybe 15-20 people interested and applauding...we even got an encore at almost 2am. Not much, but it says a lot considering where we are...the Mississippi in the middle of Pennsylvania.
