a story about a rock and roll concert2003-06-11 1:08 a.m.
hi. so tonight was the free beck concert, courtesy of chris's mom somehow winning tickets. it took forever to get there because of awesome traffic, but we still got to meadow brook damn early. this is a nice place when it is not raining like it was today. it would be a nice place for a date, that's for sure. i saw more girls with natural red hair than i have seen in one place anywhere else so that is nice. maybe it's something about beck. we decided our first spot on the lawn sucked, so we relocated, pulled out our trash bags and had a seat. we picked a good sport because we were buy a guy and girl who were nice and let us share their huge rain trap that one of the "crowd control" guys had given them. the girl turned out to be cute, nice, single, fun, etc... she laughed at everyone we laughed at and had come to see beck. it turns out she was a sophomore in high school though. damn. so the black keys opened up, and their two man white jazz deal was ok. i enjoyed a not too overpriced kielbasa and pepsi during the set. after this, chris and i wasted 20 bucks on t-shirts, although i have to say that they shirt i got can rock my world. after this, dashboard consucktional came on and sucked, but made all the 14 year old girls happy. later on, we saw a few who had gone back stage or something and were flipping out and crying tears of joy because he said one of them had pretty eyes. so beck came on and rocked the fuck out of everyone, with crazy dancing and lights, and music of course. he said something about his backup band being the flaming lips, but i could have been wrong, since everyone was smoking weed by us as soon as beck came on stage. speaking of getting fucked up, most of the beer the beer girls sold was during dashboard because i think you would need alcohol to sit through that. the highlight of beck was him doing a cover of "hot in herre" (!) and some girls actually took their shirts off. more funny than arousing. the lowlight was our cool sophomore girl disappearing with her friend and coming back to get us and have us come up close to the stage but the bastard ticket taker wouldn't let us down because we had lawn seats. girls always get their way at shows i guess. so beck left stage and eventually returned for an encore, saying he doesn't normally do encores but he could see it in our eyes. haha. chris and i left during the encore so we could beat the drunks out of the parking lot, but i have mixed feelings about leaving early. we made it home in half of the time, despite having to take the worst detour in the history of the world, and my car hit 10,000 miles along the way. it was sad. i dropped chris off and swung by the taco bell drive through and ate a double decker taco as i drove back to my bachelor pad. tonight was amazing, after the rain went away, there was a good smell in the air, even without the weed. the whole evening had a "romantic" atmosphere but not in the normal romantic way because i was with chris muncy. but you know what i mean. -nate
went - going - is now
