| A downsized version... So it was my first concert. Yes, Ataris was my first real concert but this was my first concert concert. It was at the Pompano Indoor Skatepark. The first skatepark I'd ever been to so we're just racking in the firsts! Amanda and I got there a bit before everyone else so we looked around. Sharif came in later and was quite surprised to see us, very happy. Chris came in and talked to us a bit, also surprised and happy. Ian was next and gave a surprised 'Hi!' in return to a greeting. Paul, Matt, and JT also came in but none of them saw us. Devin was about that time and he came right over and talked to us for a bit until Krystle called me. Seems she needed convincing to come. We convinced her. HEHEHE Yeah, so I was feeling oddly very friendly and talkative and finally Paul saw us and came over. (and and and and, shhh it's late) He was happy/surprised also. A bit more ramblings with people. Krystle comes. An hour or so later the bands finally start up. 'S.K.A.' went first unexpectedly. That's Silly Kids on Acid with Ian as improv vocalist, Paul on set, Matt on trumpet, and Chris on sax. Paul ripped up the set, was really quite good of course. Ian was very funny though the crowd didn't seem to respond to him warmly. It was their first gig and all.. I thought they did very well. A few of the other bands went and this is where the tragic event occured. Me, Amanda, and Krystle were sitting against the wall when a kid above and behind us hits the rail hard, causing a can of orange soda to tip over and spill right on my head. Boy was I thrilled. My first concert concert with these kids and I get doused in orange soda. Go me. So I run off to the bathroom. Washing off my hair, jacket, sorta trying to help my pants, and I'm thinking: 'I'm not going to let this get to me. I'm going to think positive, put my hair up, and go out there again. I've still got to see Andrew's and Sharif's bands.' So I became positive and came out with a soaking wet white jacket and wet hair along with a (in my mind less than a tank top) small shirt. I wasn't really bothered by the shirt.. until I got into the other room. Krystle and Amanda were great, backing me all the way and sharing their jackets as best they could, but it wasn't enough... Paul was kind enough to lend me his jacket. So sweet. Had a little fun nixing JT's things... What do you expect? ^____^ Next up was Andrew. I was really anxious to hear his new band since Adastra and Drowning Ophelia were beyond awesome. This time they were 'Jigsaw Jones and the Electric Cowboys' and once again him, Keith, Noah, and Jake replacing Nick (Jake also rocked the set) completely tore the place down. Everyone was rocking. They were so great. I got pictures. ^.^ Have you any idea how hard it is to get a picture of Keith playing?! Sharif with 'Miles to Go' took his turn after another band and wow they were good. He had great vocals and I can't wait to get hold of his cd. Most of the people we knew left after Sharif played but the last band, Anytime in July were very good. You know, I'm pretty sure that if I had worn any other shirt but that less-than-a-tank-top one it would've been soaked in soda just because. I bet it would've been... So I had a great night. Must go to more of these.. ~*~ Question of the Day! What kind of music do you like? (Yeah yeah, so I couldn't think of anything else.) |

Beagle147 | 12-26-03 3:19pm Sorry I missed that one. According to Sharif, MtG is doing a tour of the east coast. I forgot when though...this summer? Too cool. They're so gonna be rock stars. But good for you guys for making the best of it and having a good time. I'll go to the next one. Really.
