More on-the-clock correspondence from my co-worker. The topic: shows not quite seen.
Hello Emily,
This is Noah, from [where we work].
I just remembered a few close calls.
Blonde Redhead (caught boozin in the the HOB parking lot, escorted off disneyland property and missed the show. side note, that was not the first time ive been escorted off their stupid property)
Cat Power (bought the ticket way too far in advance and my worlds religions exam fell on the same day. gave the ticket to a good friend. he said the show was amazing. gutted.)
The Melvins (motherfucker got sick and cancelled the show. i wasnt reimbursed)
Earthless (I was wasted by the time I even got the bar. Within five minutes of being there I had made out with a girl, spilled a drink on some dude and been kicked out. i passed out on the sidewalk that night)
I didn't miss this show but it was my first live concert. Let me give you the back story. i went on a SWAT trip in high school. It was a week long snowboarding trip in Utah. there were various activities arranged for us that we were obligated to go to. One of them was seeing MXPX. That christian punk band. As horrible as it was, I'm glad I went because there was this genuine punk who was forced to be there as well. he made the best of it though by standing front row, holding his arm up an giving the bird to the singer the entire set. yes, the entire set. he was like a statue. it was quite impressive.
Some great shows I've recently seen since moving here in mid decemeber.
TalkDemonic (its like condensed Godspeed and the violinist chick is hot)
Inside Voices (i dont know what to say about them but the show was good)
The Nurses (go see them tomorrow night at Hollocene. I promise you will not be disappointed)
Pegasus (house shows are awesome)
Sincerely,
the guy who should be fired.
