First of all I didn't get to eat before I got there so needless to say I felt like I was practically starving when we finally made it in... but to my dismay the smell once we were inside the gates was absolutely PUTRID. 😧 Anyway, I do NOT like the smell of most seafood and especially not the smell of hot, rotten seafood. *gag* What's worse is that the dead li'l crawfish littered the ground so not only was there the smell of fishy death, but the look of it, too. 😭 Well, that turned my stomach and it took me a good few hours to be ok enough to eat. *sigh* Not a good start.
So anyway the first two bands to play kind of sucked, but they were somewhat local so whatever. Then up was Jason Mraz, and I enjoyed that. He was like a cute li'l songbird... he made about as much sounds as he did words. That was fun. Then up was the Presidents of the United States of America (P.U.S.A.), and I absolutely LOVED them. 😁 They had tons of energy, and were funny, and had really good music. I swear, in one song about a cat, they made me laugh until I cried (not that that's hard to do), but anyway, that was good. I might post the lyrics to that song at the end of this blog...
Anyway, I think it was during the Presidents' show that the crowd started to get a little rough. People were all jumping around and stuff (which was not too horrid, I guess), but the crowd-surfing WAS. I got kicked in the head and that pissed me off. 😠 Well, the next person that came around on top of the crowd got dropped which I thought was hilarious (and what he deserved for being a dumbass), but he ended up between me and Nick so I promptly snatched him out of the way. There was one more guy to do that (I'm pretty certain during the Presidents' set), and I don't know what came over me, but I just started hitting him. I was pissed.
Up next was Better Than Ezra (who were not better than anything, btw...), and they thought it would be fun to encourage the crowd-surfing. 😠 Well, this one girl came over once and I slapped the back of her once she got on the ground... then she came around again, but I could not reach her... then she came around AGAIN and I fucking grabbed a hand full of her hair and pulled it as hard as I could. I was so angry at her! She screamed "Owwww!" and I thought that was funny. Yeah, I don't care if I'm evil ... that was reckless and stupid and those idiots could've crushed me. I made it a point to show my negative appreciation.
Moving along, P.O.D. played next and they really got the crowd rowdy. I hate to say it, but I was honestly scared. People were jumping hard and pushing and crowd-surfing like crazy. I truly did not want to end up crushed and dead and stinking on the ground like the tons of crawfish I'd seen all evening. I barely saw any of that show due to the fact that I ended up having to close my eyes and bury myself in the warmth and softness that was Nick in order to calm myself (I'd begun shaking and sweating uncontrollably - some sort of panic or anxiety attack, perhaps?).
Toward the end of that show it starting raining a little. Then Live came on and it rained pretty much through that whole show off and on. AND IT WAS THE LONGEST SET OF ALL. 😐 After standing on the spongy, stinking ground for about 9 hours and getting rained on and being scared out of my mind throughout the last few bands I just wanted to leave. But Live drug on and on and they didn't even put on a very interesting show. The singer guy took off his shirt and gyrated for a bit, but he's getting a little fat so that wasn't even awesome (although to hear the crowd scream, you'd think it was spectacular). *shrugs* Oh well
In summation you probably think my night sucked. Well, parts of it did. But I love going places with Nick and making memories... and the fact that I survived it made it an adventure. ... Also, I have to admit that I like it when he gets all protective over me - and at shows like that he usually does. On top of all that I did discover a band that I thoroughly enjoy (P.U.S.A.), which is one that Nick is really fond of, also, so that's cool. All in all, I'd say it was $12.00 well spent.
Well, that's all. Here are the lyrics to the song "Kitty" (the one that I thought was so funny) by the Presidents of the United States of America. They have a myspace page so you should check them out. They're GREAT!
"Kitty" by The Presidents of the United States of America
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Little bag of bones been out all night
Little bag of bones been out all night
Kitty, you're scratchin' at the screen door
Kitty, you're scratchin' at the screen door
Little bag of bones been out all night
He needs some pettin' and lovin' on his head
He needs some pettin' and lovin' on his rain-soaked hide
He's circlin' round my ankle
He's circlin' round my ankle
He needs some pettin' and lovin' on his hide
Oh kitty, won't you come inside
Kitty on my foot and I wanna touch it
Kitty on my foot and I wanna touch it

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
Pussy purrin' and lookin' so satisfied
Pussy purrin' and lookin' so satisfied
(Lost in his little yellow round die?)
