well i must admit...i didnt want to open for the new york dolls. i thought the show was gonna be a bust. but as it got closer and closer to the show i realized it was gonna be a big one.. after all i didnt really care much for the new york dolls....but i do know their role in the history of punk rock. and that in itself is somewhat respectable. we never saw them come out until they actually played. they never saw oso bear....or SS 20. so what. when it came to us and SS 20 no one knew who was palying first or second so we flipped a coin for it. they won so we played first. didnt really matter...on the bill it said doors at seven. doors didnt open till 8 and we didnt go on until nine...there were alot of people there already. we killed it. i mean...killed it. we brought 54 cds to give away to anyone who wanted one. when we got back to the merch booth we had four left. alot of people were coming up to us telling us how awesome we were and how we should have played second and what not....now...not to sound overly conceded...but you get alot from people...the other night was different....its wasnt the type of show where its a who's who of the scene...granted there were alot of scenesters there....but it was more of an older crowd who just appreciates music....and thats what made the comments so awesome. so i just kinda sat back at the merch booth...drank pbr and talked to people who came up and wanted to talk or take a free cd. we ran out of the last four by the time the night was over. now....the dolls start to play. more drinks are rolling in....im actually in a mosh pit. the dolls were whatever...its fun music..but its two dudes and a bunch of young guys. more power to them. after the show i was walking out to load up and i see this girl standing there by herself and i just kinda struck up a conversation made small talk. she said she was from dayton...i sad cool you should look us up on facebook we are gonna be playing dayton sometime soon.....matt yells for me to get in the car...i get in....as we are taking off..she walking up to the passenger side window....grabs my head and starts making out with me..then walks away. matt looked at me and was like dude that was awesome.....it was pretty rad. she never friend requested me or the band....now this saturday we have another big show at northside tavern. we are actually building alot of steam. hopefully we can keep it up with everything we have going on in our personal lives.
in other news....let me tell you about my job and my car. i have no a/c my drivers side window doesn't roll down. i deliver pizzas. all i do is sweat all day. the least you could do is give me a couple dollars for bringing you pizza so you dont have to get off your ass and pick it up. thats the least you could do. but no...east covington cant tip....wont tip. makes my attitude stink.
sorry yall about the emo post a couple weeks ago. essentially a blog is a diary...and outlet...i would like to be able to look back at this thing twenty or thirty years from now and remember things that i most likely should forget.... initially when its finally over you do have a sense of hopelessness...like...oh shit...what am i gonna do? your pride gets shot....you get overcome with depression and anxiety...but over time it gets easier. you remember all the shitty things that they said to you...and you realize that as one goes out the door another comes in. for me though.......i know that im in a place right now where its just fun to hang out with people and make new friends. my last "relationship" i spent most of my time trying to get the other person to acknowledge that they liked me. it wasnt a good time. its better to just surround yourself with people who want to be surrounded by you. and in the past three weeks that has made all the difference. so again. sorry bout the emo comments but i would say on this blog....you gotta take the good with the bad.
