Nothing too exciting... but it was weird. They evacuated the first half of the floor seats and we had to wait a lot longer than Mick told us we would.
(He said 10 minutes, it was 45 I guess).

Oh well. Just thought i'd show this incase you all hadn't heard yet.

Polka, bombing the Stones is not the way to get Tom Waits to notice you. He's not actually crazy you know. Like Ozzy isn't really demonic. Just thought I'd mention that.

I was thinking about it, and the only thing that could make that night more amazing than it was, would be if Tom Waits made a surprise guest appearance with the Stones. I'd pass out.
I'd never do bomb threats though. That's not "my thing"

Other than that how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?


Seriously, how was the show compared to the one you went to the other day? Any highlights?

One week until they come to town here.

Oh my god don't even get me started. Well okay. I'm about to change classes but once I get to the next i'll write about it. I'm dying to talk about it with someone (Blue Milk isn't going to stop hearing about it when I see him today)

OKAY! I'm ready to write.
Yesterday my mom called and offered me a ticket to the show. My neighbors paid 150 for it but lowered the price to 50 for me, I guess because they couldn't find anyone else to buy it. Anyways, we get there.. my dad comes up to me and offers me his floor seat, a 350 dollar ticket. So I go down to the floor and they stopped the show for the bomb threat. Once the show started playing again they went into the song where the stage moves to the middle of the crowd. I ran over to the middle stage and I was literally within 7 feet of the band for about 10 or 15 minutes. It felt amazing.
After that, I went back to my seat which was in the first section before the stage. I had a really great time last night. I danced like a loser, I never dance. I hate dancing because I look stupid when I do. But I did.
Mick looked at me. I doubt he remembers but oh, do I ever.
I spent 10 dollars on drinks, but other than that I was pretty much catered to. My parents were extremely generous with this whole ordeal and I am so grateful. I really don't think I deserved for them to do such a thing for me, give me the seats and buy me a t-shirt... but I am grateful for them doing it.

Oh god! there was this stupid bitch next to me. She told me I was a "pain in the ass the entire night" because I left my aisle twice. TWICE. Big fucking deal! What a cunt. I don't understand what she think she's getting out of yelling at a teenager at a Rolling Stones show.
Oh well.

Anyone who complains about ANYTHING at a Rolling Stones show is indeed, a cunt.

Philly regional rail is undergoing a bomb threat right now. My lady had been sat a train station for an hour before giving up and going tie shopping for me.

that's a bad reason not to dance. everyone looks stupid when they dance, even those dildos from Fame or that crappy show Crack watches.

Awesome cemetary.

7 feet from the band huh? That's close enough for Keef to sweat Vodka and Sunkist on you.

I can't tell you how ready I am for this show. I'm a huge fan of the band but for me arena shows are just as much about the experience of just going and the people you go with.

Never worry about what fucktards thing about you dancing. I have committed some of the worst atrocities known to man under the guise of "dancing". I'm also known to get some drinks in me and shred the air guitar. Dance like no one's watching girl.

The bitch in your section would HATE the crew I'm going with. Unless there's a beer guy I foresee each of us taking about 9-10 trips to the beer stand. That's grounds for an "accidental" beer spill.

.




in my experience, this is usually precipitated by dr. derris either "losing" 3/4ths of the collective recreationals after a trip to the john or just coming back looking like he fell into a vat at the flour factory.

I don't know. I think if Mick took out his dick and pissed on me I would have to think about filing a complaint.

Atlanta crew would just accept it as a sorta baptism. :wink:

HA! That's another reason I can't go to shows with my wife. Fuck, spill all the shit you want on my girlfriend, but wives are different. I've been tossed from shows for people bumping the wife.

Then again, as I've expressed here on occasion, I do have some anger issues.
