for nkotb

I was going to ask you how you liked it.  I thought I saw you at the show, but realized it's been years since I met you at that Dino Jr show, so I got weirded out about asking a random guy if he was walkonby from the 9:30 forum.

Pretty fun show, I thought…especially that Fugazi cover.  The crowd was really weird though.  What was with Stone Cold Steve Austin crowd-surfing?  And why was I surrounded by couples seemingly on first dates with no interest in the show?  I never really expected making out at a DM show…

FYI, Rhett…more attractive women than I would've thought, but also tons of dorks.  Oh, and more black dudes than I've seen in the last ten shows I've been to combined.  Didn't see that coming.

in love with u street.

area was great.

nice to feel a trip back into time.

loved the two black women in front of me going full on bat shit crazy screaming at anybody daring to slam or push them, and the one guy screaming back . . . "this is punk rock, what the fuck?"

loved the guy who looked like stone cold, though he looked like a real fucking prick in real life.

i wore a shirt that had a kitten with its head cut off, to the side.

i like tall cans of red stripe at the bar.  bartenders were hot.

new bass player won my vote . . . and then fucking some.  mvp of the night.

opening band kicked serious ass, bought their cd and talked to the poor guy selling merch.

i don't think i've ever listened to zola jesus.

the fugazi cover sounded too creepily like fugazi was actually playing it.  bizarre.

best show of my life.

Yeah, he was great.  Plus, the old school Ween shirt didn't hurt things.  I think I had that one from the 12 Golden Country Greats tour…too bad I bought it when I was fat.

Was talking to a guy next to me who had seen them before, and he randomly showed me a text from a friend asking if they would play Stuart.  Five minutes later…bam.  That ruled.

The pressure of another mouth to feed starting to get to you, nkotb?

Early entry for NKOTB's Christmas list:

A few things:

GGW: Do you have any idea how expensive diapers are?!?!  Alas, I've hung up the KISS make-up…I'm not a young man anymore…

JAGUAR: You're killing me…I like STAR WARS, not STAR TREK.  But that's still pretty sweet.

My wife saw me reading this post at home, and I tried to explain that it's an entire thread that someone (walkie?) created where people just post things that they think I'd enjoy.  She wasn't as impressed as I was hoping :(

May the 4th be with you, buddy, always.

When I heard this on the news last night, I choked on my glass of wine.  Take that you white rich NIMBYS!  Now go vaccinate your kids, you hippes!

after reading that . . . i just choked on my gin and tonic.

since i fear that nkotb doesn't read the beer thread, i'll post this here.

a long time ago in a homebrewer's basement far, far away…

Kosmo was slaying me this morning on the twitters with them:

‏@DeathStarPR Upgrading the Death Star to iOS 6 tonight. Some MINOR compatability issues with our exhaust port force field. Nothing to worry about, folks!

Much harder to carve than I thought….

is your future.
