20040610 - Ween concert - girls making out on stage during LMLYP

I can't believe its been 3 years since I've been to a show! Seriously, I can't.

 

This was a good show, but Gene was waaay off. He seemed overly intoxicated or overworked. Speaking of overworked, I was in a major deadline crunch and had to go back to bed afterward.

 

But that didn't stop me from FAINTING and HITTING THE FLOOR WITH MY HEAD before Ween ever even came onto stage! I don't know what my problem was. I was well-prepared for the show, and Carolyn and I ordered 2 whiskey sours each which were downed in about 10 to 15 minutes. Then we stood by the stage. Very hot. Very crowded. Lots of bright lights. We bummed a cigarette. Lots of anxiousness waiting for the show. I started to not feel so good. I told Carolyn. Finally she had me hold onto her neck. That's about the last thing I remember.

 

Then I thought I was laying in my bed and Carolyn was waking me up because it was time to go to work. Something wasn't right, and my next thought was along the lines of "This isn't a mattress! It's a wooden floor! ... Wait ... There's feet around me ... it's really noisy ... This isn't bed, this is the 9:30 Club!"

 

Apparently while I was out, Carolyn lifted my head, slapped my face, and let it fall back on the ground again. So I had 2 bumps that hurt for several days. Thanks for the excellent first aid Carolyn.

 

Once awake, I *SPRANG* right up because I knew they would probably try to kick me out. I looked alert, looked around, was a bit surprised that the stage was on the opposite side of the room -- man I was disoriented. Got up, walked to the side wall, sat down, and Carolyn got me some water. The band started about 20 minutes later and I stood up and moved to the side. I still didn't have the energy the cheer or dance. I just opened my mouth and pretended to cheer. By the end of the show, my energy was back, but it was VERY gradual.

 

The highpoint of the concert for me was the first 4 songs of the second electric set (after the acoustic set).

 

Everyone I know who went (except me) got to meet or hang out with members of the band. This includes three separate parties (Aaron, John the Canadien, Jeff). If only I didn't have to work...
