I'm a concert nerd, I'll admit it. I don't wear the band's tshirt to the same show but I will wait around for an autograph or photo opportunity. But there are those who make me giggle...like this guy in front of me.

He's been to a few shows lately. How do I know? He's got a shitload of wristbands. When the security guard mentions that he can't walk in with them on. WHAT? I can't remove them - I just can't! Ok Mr 33 yo dude who probably has never been touched by a girl...or man.

Oh no, Geek #2 just got interviewed by some dude filming. When asked why he was here to see the band -- OMG, I am so blessed just to be in the presence of My Bloody Valentine. Blessed? Ohhhhhkay man, please keep your erection to yourself.

Lord, Geek #3, walks up pulling a giant suitcase. It's quite apparent that he's run away from his parents' basement. He is regaling us with the time he got interviewed while waiting in line for days to see Star Wars.

Geek #1 is bragging about his wristbands. Dude, did you know that venues use different coloured bands for each show?

Oh shit I think they're Obnerites. They're calling each other by their board name, EMTgreg, Boomer, Emac... They"re planning on doing a group photo shoot at Coachella on Sunday.

I've a feeling that Dalen is in on this.

The guy filming is from Current TV.

Fire brigade arrived with paramedics. The geeks are gonna have heart attacks hoping nothing has happened to Kevin Shields. I think I see tears.

The Nerd Herd ran to the front of the stage. Right before we were let in, I heard, 'Wouldn't it be awesome if we smoked out with Kevin?'. Right, as if you even know what weed looks like.

Opening act is on. I've no clue who he is. The place is fucking packed. I have earplugs on.but have a feeling my ears will be hemmoraging later.

Dude, is that Phil Spector's brother? Maybe they shop at the same wig place. I need to get a photo.

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Nary an alcoholic beverage passed these lips tonight.

Experiencing MBV in a much smaller venue...mmm, not sure it's a great idea. But they were definitely empire!

I left the Nerd Herd to fend for themselves. I last saw them cumming in front of the band. Did I mention one of them wore a headband? Oh yeah, he was oh so not sexy.

Btw, I couldn't get a clear shot of Phil Spector's younger brother. I'm assuming that's who he was -- same needlenose, same crazy Einstein hair - he JUST had to be a relation.

And, Christian, most of my posting was done while waiting in line. I was amusing myself while waiting for a friend.

According to my friend, Trent Reznor was standing behind us. I was too busy focusing on Phil's brother -- is that hair real or not?

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of YO, MUSIC GEEK!

I enjoyed it, even if I don't care about MBV.

This is a truly great thread.
Thanks, T!

Looking forward to the epilogue this morning, if you wake up before noon.
;)

No epilogue.

I will add that I was curious to ask the Nerd Herd which message board they followed. I figured it would be the most apparent one, an MBV board, but secretly hoped it was ILM. Or what's that other one, Hyperion? I would've never noticed them except for the fact that I was standing right behind them and that Geek #1 (EMT Greg) was so damn proud of himself. "I have a friend who has a VIP pass and he's gonna try and sneak me in..." The other geeks would just ooh and aah, "Really? Man, you are SOOO lucky." Uh yeah...are you sure its not gonna interfere with your group photo shoot?

Dammit, I guess that was my epilogue.

I've got two for sale for $70 if that's any easier for you to afford.
