X vs Leto...Round 2...FIGHT!
Ah May, such a month of change and small hamsters named Hammy. Ya see, in this oh-so-fecund month (yeah! FECUND!) a lotta stuff happened, but the most relevant of which was that I was invited to go view a band called 30 Seconds to Mars. This li'l band is fronted by actor Jared Leto (Requiem for a Dream and the upcoming Lord of War), and perform a swanky song called Capricorn. This song has fast-paced guitar riffs, screechingly loud vocals, and a synth-slide technoy-beat that jumps across all of your speakers. It's a song I'd always wanted to hear live, so I went to the concert with the Crea and the Monkey, only to have Leto do the song A cappella! No, not acoustic, A CAPPELLA! Granted, he had an acoustic guitar, but he played 3 chords during the entire 6 minute song (he played all three at the beginning then set the guitar on his side), prompting a guy behind me to yell "WHAT THE FVCK!" when the song was over. No one clapped, no one cheered, everyone around me just stood in bewildered befuddlement from what they'd just seen. At that point, I vowed revenge on Jared Leto.
Flash forward a few days (backwards? who knows) to the AUDIOSLAVE(!) show. I thoroughly enjoyed this show even though it was at a venue that was FAR too small (the Tabernacle, only 8 seats in the whole building) and even though I and Souljah had 8AM finals the next day (phucking physics), and even though one of the people that went bugged the hell out of me to get back to his/her beau's apartment because said person apparently got *ahem* "overly excited" ("comeonletsgobacktocampuspleaseletsgobackcomeonLETSGOBACKIGOTTAGETBACK BLAAAARRGGGGHHHH!"* and couldn't wait while we stopped for fud (won't make that mistake again). Despite those circumstances (and that whole, "don't wanna be in college, getting kicked out of the apartments, job interview thing") I walked away feeling jubilant about the show I'd just seen which is a credit to Audioslave's stage prowess.
On October 25th, Audioslave returns, with Seether and (wait for it) 30 Seconds to Mars in an Arena tour! I get to encounter Mr. Leto again, and I swear if he does that song a cappella again I'm gonna rush the stage and headbutt him. Also, this time I'm going with a group that doesn't contain someone that will bite my head off for not driving at half the speed of sound to get back to campus in 10 minutes (I made it in 12...ran over three midgets and a gopher though). I'm also taking suggestions for how to trick Souljah into going next time (she can't this time) AND convincing her to do floor seats (the best suggestion I've received so far? Jedi Mind tricks).
If any of you have 40 bucks, ya should go to this show. Why? 'Cause.
Random Thought: Some pizza places have serious pizza, then there's the place we went Monday night. That....was...just..wrong...(fun) but wrong!
