Wednesday night I decided to head down to the Flyleaf, Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace show. I thought about not going since I had to work the next day and didn't think it'd be very responsible...whatever. Flyleaf was a bit disappointing. They had poor sound and seemed to lack energy. Breaking Benjamin wasn't too bad. TDG started off with one of my current favorite songs 'Break'. The were doing OK but then seemed to run out of steam. Their drummer played a keyboard/drum solo (one that it would have been perfectly acceptable to go to the can in) and then they did some other fairly lame rock show stuff...like have their singer come out in the rear.
The real fun at this show was the crowd. It was a general admission show. I was once again thinking...maybe I'm too old to go push and shove with the crowd, maybe I'll just sit down....well, I walked in saw some lamers sitting in the seats and lots of fun on the floor so that's where I was!
Nobody got too rowdy during Flyleaf. I made decent progress towards the front. During the break I got to see some loser chicks waiting to get high. I was able to stand behind some short girls during Breaking Benjamin. Some pits got started by me. At the set break things cleared out and I got nearly to the front. Things started to get a bit tight so me and some other dudes used out 'power' (fat) to clear some space. As I got near the front I realized there were far fewer teeny boppers and more old dudes like me...I realized that we had the 'power' it took to make it up front! Any how, some crazy pits and some seriously wasted people made for lots and lots of pushing. A few times I seemed to get caught up and become shields for other people...things were just going every which way. At one point some chick landed on me as she was body surfing but we got her back up and sent her on her way...good times. Anyhow after I got bored I decided to bust out a few minutes early so I could get to bed at a decent time...guess I'm an old guy after all!
This weekend I laid down lots of tracks for Park Lane's album.
