I'm 'Is anyone there?' Kind of Tired
May. 13th, 2009 11:51 pmMan, 311 was a fuckin' blast. Not just a normal blast, not a fantasmo blast, but a Fuckin' Blast. Met a lot of cool people in the line outside during our four hour wait, even a tattoo artist we may have to go visit so my girlie can get something from him. He had a kickass kind of kid too.
We were 10 deep in the line, and somehow managed to get up to the first five. Don't ask how, it just happened.
Not to mention the girlie ran over and met with the band and they remembered her from past concerts, gave them hugs, etc. She was outrageously cute about it, all kinds of giddy.
Managed to get front and center stage, which was badass in itself, and we saw both the bands up close and personal.
There was this dude with his kid there, 12 years old at the front, and this dude was a big gorilla of an ugly bastard. He was cool up until the bands actually started playing, cause then he grabbed ahold of the barrier and wouldn't let go for shit, and my girl was getting crushed against him cause the entire place was trying to move front and center. I tried my best to keep everyone off of her, but damn if you don't push back only to have them push back harder.
Me and her brother wanted to beat the hell out of that gorilla dude, mainly cause he was an outrageous deusche in that he wouldn't budge even to help my girl over the barrier when she wanted out and security was trying to get her over the barrier. I literally had to jump over him to get out and make sure she was ok.
Never have I wanted to make a child an orphan faster.
But aside from the crowd and the gorilla, it was a kickass kind of show. I met the lead singer of Full Service, (see the page and music here) the band who played before 311, who did some reggae/pirate/rock songs and it was really kickass. Nice guy, I'll pay to see more of his shows.
311 was kickass all around, minus crowd and gorilla. Poor gorillas kid, he wasn't enjoying himself simply cause of dads deuschery.
Not to mention this or forget it, there was a security guard there who looked exactly like Francis from Left 4 Dead. I couldn't help but whisper into my girlies ear and say "I hate concerts."
Anyways, we made it out, back to the hotel room, ordered Domino's and watched Predator till we fell asleep.
When we got up in the morning, we went down to breakfast, and being a Holiday Inn, and having never had to pay for a breakfast before when residing in one for a night or a week, we got a huge breakfast, me, her, her brother, and our friend Matt. Only to be handed a check. I was outraged, let me tell you.
We left, should have skipped on the check, but girlie was too nice to do so.
On the drive home, I got a call from the store manager at a local Zales about an opening and interview today, so instead of relaxing when I got home, I shaved, showered, and suited up real nice and went to meet with a potential new boss.
Her name was Coco, and I think she was closer to my age than I thought she'd be. She interviewed me and seemed to enjoy my answers. Said I was her third interview, and I hope I get a call from her tomorrow or whenever with a job, as I could use the regular income.
I left feeling pretty damned good, and came home to eat some of my girlies dads home cookin', mexican style.
No, I'm not racist, but he is a mexicano, and damn if he doesn't make fantastic food. I had Guiso and Bean burritos, and omg delicious.
Saw my little nephew (really my girls nephew, but he looks up to me like a fun uncle) and he has been doing good in school recently (daycare, but its all good) and I told him if he behaves tomorrow, I'll take him swimming.
He looked very happy. Suppose I'll take him swimming tomorrow.
But thats about it today, had a good couple of days, and we'll see how the rest of the week pans out. :)
PEACE OUT YA'LL!

Gorilla man, the next time you see me, it will be a 'Boom, headshot!' kind of meeting.
