I want to be a roadie

HOLY CHRIST I am tired...but it was worth it.



I roll into Jody's around 5:00 pissed off at the world. You see, the thing is that I am insanely fucking busy at work and there is no end in sight. I was complaining because I had to leave work "early" at 4:30 (wow...are my priorities ever fucked) and how I had too much to do.

Recognizing what condition my condition was in, Jody did the only thing he knew how...and gave me a beer.

The amber liquid rolled down my throat like liquid valium. Soon there after another beer followed, and another. We watched the Family Guy Movie (TM) and getting snapped. The Motley Crue: Carnival of Sins Concert started at 6:00 but Jody and I didn't want to see shitty bands so we continued drinking.

Soon enough, however, we got to the concert and made a bee-line for the beer stand. There was the chick -- what a delight she was -- who was checking ID. There was this kid in line with beer in hand. She asked to see his wrist band (proving that he was 18). He didn't have one. She asked to see his ID (proving he was 18). He couldn't produce it. So she grabbed his FULL BEER and dumped it...and the dude didn't even complain. Likely because he was SO fucking busted and had nothing. Jody and I pointed and laughed...

We settled into our seats just as Sum 41 started playing. Uh....either Deryck Whibley was too tired (from banging Avril the night before) OR ELSE they were pissed off that they couldn't be a headliner -- I don't know -- but I have to say that their set was weak! Look...I don't CARE about the obscure songs you sing; I want to hear the shit they play on the radio! Honestly, I recognized maybe 2 songs!

Whatever. We weren't really there to see them anyways. We were all getting hard in anticipation of the greatest band to ever perform: MOTLEY CRUE.

I will save you the details, mainly 'cause I'm at work (and don't have time) and because I couldn't do it justice anyways... But here are some highlights of the show the Neil, Mick, Nikki, and Tommy put on:
  • Played for over 2 hours
  • Midgets
  • Chicks with huge tits wearing nothing but lingerie performing acrobatic moves in the air
  • Juggling
  • Harley Davidson Motorcyles on stage
  • Hot chicks on stilts
  • Fire dancers
  • Pyrotechnics
  • Fireworks
  • "Tittie Cam" including 'machine gun flashing'
  • Tommy Lee doing a drum solo whilst flying thru the air back and forth to two drum sets that were suspended in the air.

It was, without a doubt, the greatest concert (and loudest) that I have ever been too. If you are a fan of the band at all and you didn't go to the show, then you made the biggest mistake in your life... I would have paid triple the amount for the ticket; it was that good of a concert.
