If I ever go to the Greek Theater again, don't let me park on-site. Fucking horseshit, that was.

The parking lot is essentially a giant triangle in a forest where they park you in. Last night I was literally in the 2nd to farthest spot away from the venue surrounded on 3 sides and a steep hill on the 4th. If it wasn't for my diagonal crab driving, we'd probably still be there right now.

so yeah, fuck that.

Oops, forgot to warn you about that. Some people park below Los Feliz and walk up the hill.

Aside from that...how were the Beasties?

it was a pretty good show, but I just feel like I can't bring myself to enjoy it? I mean, when they were playing "Brass Monkey" and we were surrounded by dudes pounding beers in backwards baseball hats, I thought to myself how 15 years ago I didn't like that song, and it just serves as a date-rape anthem in my brain now. The show itself wasn't all that different than the last time I saw them in 1998 other than their wardrobes, but I thought it was weird that I was more happy to hear the numbers where they were playing instruments, if only so Ad-rock would be too busy to sing.

But they can't really be blamed for that. They were energetic and tried hard, but I found myself waaay more excited to see Money Mark and MixMaster Mike than anything else. and they were both incredible.


I called an old friend of mine on the walk out and told him that if 1995 me had known that in 12 years I'd attend a Beasties show totally sober and not dance my ass off, I'd rent a time machine and travel to future to stab the present me in the heart, face, and genitals.

I really liked the venue other than the parking, though.

you're funny, C. Sounds like you are assimilating well into your new environs too!
