Waiting in line to ride the skies

150 people can only get in+ an ad in the reader and an update on load records = a lot of disappointed people. I was not one of them. I saw the return of lighting bolt to Chicago with a mind boggling amount of younger kids mostly 18-20. normally i wouldn't take this into account except i find the difference between that one year to 21 sometimes makes all the world. Don't get me wrong it was a great show but something was a miss, maybe it was because it was in the basement of a university or maybe it was the drunk 19 year old named Chris who by the time of the show was drunk always trying to crowd surf or for that matter the other 149+ men trying to swallow lighting bolt like the abyss and as a result both of the Brians having to push off college kids almost falling or completely falling on the pedals or the drum kit. there was now way for him to jump off anything or even move the kit. he tried and got only got about one foot. several times he asked them to back up to no avail, just a sea of sweaty kids that smelled like sweat, coffee, cheap booze and cigarettes. Or it might have been one of the opening bands k.k rampage that were awful and cocky trying ever so hard to offend people that they took to spitting on a girl and acting like he would hit someone with a mic stand (also note a swastika on the arm of the shirt he was wearing of his own band and also note at their merch table he was extremely worried that the other shirt that they were selling would have this. in short he was only acting.) but instead showing what happens when you idolize a lack of maturity and musicianship. Or that LB mostly played thier newer stuff and did so in this sort of nervousness that showed as soon as they sat down that this at any moment could be a god awful indie disaster. or maybe its that the bassist doesn't like large crowds and that crowd would make me extremely weary if i were him and i don't mind crowds. They played extremely well their songs are much better live and despite these factors put on an amazing show.


also i am going to new york in less than 24 hrs no work for a week . fuck yeah
