(no subject)
i saw head automatica tonight in providence at the call. which is a pretty cool place. drove down with justin & courtney. and met up with: jess!!, julia, matt, melissa, brittany, lia, becca, irene, steve(?) & keegan. and i saw marissa there! aaaand i had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful allie! while waiting for the first band...
i was sitting on the stage, with jess, julia, lia & irene. and i noticed this woman who looked to be in her forties walking (walking, but almost stumbling) around with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. she kept talking to random kids all over the place. i mentioned it to julia, and she was just like "haha that's funny." then, the lady went over to the little couch where melissa, brittany, matt & keegan were. i figured she'd talk to them and they would have some fun talking to this obviously drunk woman. i didn't pay much attention to her or them, and i started talking to julia. then i heard lots of laughter coming from over near this woman. why? because keegan, who was sitting on the ground at the time, kept pulling the woman's skirt down. (there she is on the left, and the kid sitting down is keegan.)
she didn't really mind, i guess, because she kept standing right next to him. she was like "ahahahah stop it silly!" every time he did it. it was hilarious. by this time, most of the people around them noticed what was going on and started watching. then keegan got up and started dancing in front of her and they danced a little. he put his hat on her head and they danced.
then, she went to the side of the stage and sat down. keegan went over and sat on her lap. he was like "take me for a ride mom!" (she wasn't really his mom, obviously, but he called her that anyway) and she started moving her leg up and down so he was bouncing. then she starts singing "rock a bye baby on the tree top..." and then he goes "oh wow look at those tits! you have such nice tits!" and she just giggled gleefully. then he got on the ground in front of her and was like "i want to suck your puss!" (keegan is gay, mind you.) then she said something like "you like guys, but you wouldn't believe the things i could do to you boy." then she left and got another drink, and came back. now they're playing some crazy bad rap music and so she starts dancing, and then melissa and lia started dancing with her.
soon after this, she decides to go up the two little stairs near the stage and get up there. she goes to the mic that was set up on the stand and says "gooood afternoooon!" too bad the mic wasn't on, or else it would have been even more hilarious. the really nice security guy came from up back and helped her off the stage. but right as he was like "come on, get down" she said "the band will be onn soooooon" in to the mic. we were all dying. this lady is hilarious. then these three kids came over to ask if she was on of our moms or just a random drunk lady. there were two guys and a girl. one guy was like "can me and my friend get a picture with you?" she was all for it. so the chick took a picture of her two friends with the drunk lady. so after some more of keegan telling her he wanted to suck her puss and some mroe dancing, she walks back up on stage. this time, she gets right behind the drum set, picks up the drumsticks...and starts playing the drums.
soon after that, the first band, nightmare bear came on. their sounds reminded me a lot of an albatross. they didn't have a guitar player. their bassist just made all kinds of crazy noises with all his effects, and it was cool. after one of their songs, the drunk lady was like "DO YOU KNOW ANY LINKIN PARK!?!?" everyone laughed. their singer thought about it and then was like "crawwwwling in my skiiiin...no, we're not playing any linkin park. hah." and the lady was like "you guys are shitty. anybody can do what you do!" and with that, they just started the next song. (more about her: she is 45 (we know because she was like "do i look good for 45!?" and one of the kids we didn't know was like "uhh yeah you don't look a day over 20!") and has two kids, ages 14 & 16. she got in for free, because she was just waiting til 9 (doors opened at 8) to go down the street to the bar to meet a friend.)
during their last song, their singer was on the ground, on his back. and then he started kicking the bassist, pretty hard. so the bassist walks over to his amp, and grabs the (empty) ashtray that was on top of it, and whips it at the singer's face. it hit him right in the forehead. he turns around, and his face is covered in blood. then the song was over and that was their set. he was picking up his cables and we were like "whoa that's hardcore! how does it feel?" he's like "why, it is bad? i don't feel it at all." so i took a picture of him and then showed it to him on my camera. i know some people don't like seeing blood, so i won't post it. but click here if you want to see it. some other pictures before i get to the head automatica pics:
courtney & justin.
julia stole my camera and took these two. she's so cute.
oh yeah, the red west played in between nightmare bear and head automatica. but they were boring. and i was up back talking to allie (and spilling water everywhere?) so no pictures of them.
daryl gave me his setlist.
