yeah.. aside from matt good, tea party is one of the best bands to go see live.

the night started off ok.. we watched a little hockey, did a few drugs.. then made the short trip from st. thomas to london. this was my 9th show, my brother's 12th (but he's older than i, so he got into a few 19+ shows when i couldn't) one of the guys i was with, it was his 28th show, he went cross country once, and did all the ontario dates once. we treat matt good concerts like a cult, it's just something that we all grew up with, and we never grew old of it.. there isn't nothing like fitting 8 people into 2 trucks. when i opened the door in london, i literally exploded out of the cab. it made even better that i did that without spilling a drop of my coffee. so we get in line, and then my bro is looking for the other group, who we left behind at the timmy's drive thru. eventually they get back in line.. which went from just me, to about 8 people.. (if you were behind me, you were probably pissed at that) so we're cracking jokes about butt plugs and a certain unfortunate incident involving a porta potty as a place to sleep. we don't behave in any line. then as we get closer to the front another bunch show up.. just in time, cause we were going inside and we had their tickets. so we were 11 people strong going there. so we got in and proceeded to the balcony. i bought three beers pour moi. then we got to the merch counter. i didn't buy anything.. i'm way too big to wear any band merch of any kind ;) we then decided to retire to the back room. played some pool. nothing doing.. the opener started up, we all took a look at them, and laughed. we hicks ain't into none o' that gay-assed pussy music. so we went back to playing pool and i proceeded to have my ass handed to me by one of my friend's gf.. so after that, one of my friends finds his sister out there too. she was standing just outside the door to the back room. so we break into groups again.. he and his sister, her bf and me and another friend of mine all force our way to the front. we end up at a spot by the tables, about 5' back of the left go-go cage. when i heard them playing "the man from harold wood" i got all gitty. i was wondering to myself "i wish i learned the arsenal fight chant" but it was all great. matt really kicked it with tripoli as the opener.. i miss the piano and the children's voices but hey.. what can ya do? near fantastica was next.. it's my all-time favourite concert song. hello time bomb was next.. and of course of any song to make use of the go-go cages.. that one would likely have to have been it.. the only one better would've been fxr. they weren't the best dancers by far.. hey.. i would've ended up there if they didn't go, i was dared earlier in the evening to go up in them and dance... they're like "hey don vito! (my nickname) if you go up and dance in the cages i'll buy ya a 2-4" so that didn't happen, even though i wanted to. so yeah.. i really didn't have a favourite song on the night... they're all as great as one another. but hearing suburbia and ptd made my life worthwhile. i would've also taken aopc, and was crossing my fingers for it, but alas, my luck is never that good. i was a little p.o'ed at the lack of a rant in 21cl, but it's life.. i thought it had something to do with the technical difficulties, like they couldn't get the tape to run. but i guess that wasn't the case. i was overjoyed when ptd came on. it's one of my favourite mg songs overall... i was waiting for a chance to hear it all my life.. and then one of the girls we came with decided t ocut across the crowd to say we're going drinking after... but she elaborates on it.. we were pissed. big time. missed half the song to hear her blabber on about what was a given with us.. going drinkin'. i caught a drumstick at the end of the show.. as well as my friend's sister.. her's was autographed, mine wasn't. :angry: damn e really goes to town on those drums.. cause it was split and her's had the tip broken off... we stayed around looking for any more souvenirs.. i took a poster off the wall.. and a friend found a guitar pickin front of the stage. as for the bad seats in the house.. there are a lot of them. basiclly anywhere on the balcony that isn't on the rail and doesn't have a blocked view from all the lighting. anywhere on the side is also bad... cause the speakers and go-go cages block everything. so that's my night at the drink..

put it in a different folder and refuse to share it with just anyone. it's not rocket science.

just start up a forum in here for soulseek. it's so much easier to use, it can be private, and anyone can use it without so much hassle. all people need to do is share with those on their userlist and boom. done. just pin a thread where everyone can put their usernames and everyone can share. it works real well for dl'ing WHOLE albums.

in the first season they all went to see star wars. that was what? 77 or 79 right?

i was in chapters (rideau st., ottawa) and they started playing we're so heavy, then they played empty road, then alert status red... i wondered why so i went over to the desk of the music department (where they dj the music there) and sure enough there was a manager giving the employee there some shit for it. i walked up to the manager and told him to fuck off and that it was a good album, and to keep playing it. if i wasn't carrying 300 bucks worth of books i'm sure i would've been kicked out. they stopped playing it, and turned on some gwen stefani. i was thrilled.

i'd like to see a live version of his greatest hits. i don't think anyone here would disagree with that.

her nickname is meegee

i think that empty road could make a killer video. once i get a camera, i'm gonna try to see what i can do in the film department. i've had ideas flowing through my head, but i've always wanted to do a video for near fantastica. if you sync up movement with the peaks, levels and rythyms of that song it could be intense.

the college one sucked ass. and when jessie showed up on the weding special all i could think of was showgirls

mine was at bayfest not the last time, but the time he performed there before that. i think it was 99 or 00 it was my first concert ever. and what a concert that was.
