I would say something complimentary, but I'm incoherent with jealous rage.

heretic:
went to a George clinton and P Funk concert earlier this year. we were packing up our last bowl in the House of Blues and we thought, "maybe george would like some" as he'd already hit one bowl that night. we pack up the lasty of our shit and move toward the stage. my friend hands it up to him, he takes a hit, stiffles a cough, gives us a thumbs up, and pockets the fucking bowl. he stole my friend's glass piece! but it's cool cause we know it led an interesting life at least until he broke it.

oh and, not as cool, but really fun, i hosted a show at which Long Shot hero kicked off thier east coast album tour, and after the show (fun but not the best turnout) they all came back to my house and we got drunk and ate pizza. i have video of a drunken Long Shot Hero, eBay anyone?

last friday, a group of us drove to see mindless self indulgence in springfield, mo (worst date on the tour i must add).

seven people total left home to see the show, only five returned.

i was in one car with my brother, the other five were in another. when we were about 30 minutes from our destination, i recieved a frantic call from my friend in the other call. he wouldn't tell me exactly what was going on, only that they were pulled over on the side of the road and i needed to get there quickly.

when i finally got there, i was informed that trey* had taken three hits of acid, and was freaking out. apparently, he thought that they were going the wrong way and was trying to climb into the drivers seat to correct their course, effectively making the vehicle dangerously swerve multiple times. he was also punching and kicking the other people in the car when they tried to calm him down.

anyway, when i got there, he was sitting in the very back of the car (his ford explorer), trying to escape from the vehicle. he threw a guitar pedal through the back window and tried to crawl through the hole. when we stopped him, he then grabbed an extenstion cable sitting in the back and attempted to strangle himself. we eventually wrestled him down to where i was able to hold him by myself, and we called the paramedics. it took an hour for anyone to arrive, but eventually we had six police cruisers and one ambulance there (yes, six cops came to witness this). each and every cop asked everyone the same questions, while the others would stand to the side and crack jokes about the whole thing
finally, the EMTs took over and took our friend off to the hospital, and (after we had called his parents to let them know what was going on), we went on to the show.

worst of all, the show sucked. very small turn-out, no energy from the band, just blah.

anyway, that's my worst concert experience to date.

*name not changed to proctect the innocent. seriously folks, don't take acid for the first time when you're stuck in the back of a car on a road trip.

Some might say never take it but yes, that would be one of the worse times to do that...

rudeboy:
just last night i took a couple of busses to get to Wayne so i could see Too Short Notice, but the venue canceled the show when i got there.
