I wanna marry it. <\/p>\n<p>So, I have *SO* many fun stories to tell you from tonite. Jem cracks me up&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>First, we went to &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.live105.com\/not_so_silent_night\/default.asp\">Not So Silent Night<\/a>&#8221; (yes, it&#8217;s a large corporate top 10 punk-ish band event that&#8217;s way to expensive &#8211; but hey, I got the tickets free!!).  I mainly went cuz I just *had* to see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theoffspring.com\">Offspring<\/a>, who I frickin loved about 9 years ago and have never &#8220;lost the love&#8221; for)  (major indie nerds, please try to see the nostalgia in this :) <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com\">BRMC<\/a> came on first and they were pretty good. (this was the band Jem was most excited to see, and she&#8217;s seen them about 2 or 3 other times before). I had never seen them before &#038; it just made me jones to see them in a smaller venue. Instead, we were like 10th row (which at the frickin Bill Graham Civic is *really* close. (And yes &#8211; I&#8217;m gonna use *&#8217;s to express all my <strike>pointent<\/strike> poignant words! (and a lot of parentheses!))) <\/p>\n<p>However, as much as I&#8217;m used to being surrounded by kids at all these shows I go to, tonite I was *so* annoyed with the 14 year olds there trying so hard to make it such a hard core rock show at 7:30pm. OH MY GAWD&#8230; it was FULL of them!!!!!!! Worse than any other show I think&#8230; Cuz you have to factor in &#8211; these kids aren&#8217;t cool enough to just hit the Bottom of the Hill on a Tuesday night &#8211; these kids traveled far &#038; wide (aka Bridge &#038; Tunnel), most of them with their *parents* to see this show. OY.             <\/p>\n<p>All the stupid (wanna-be) mosher kids are going nuts &#8211; but instead of it being a cool mosh pit (if there&#8217;s such a thing these days) all the other kids backing up around it (way too far to where the mosh pit isn&#8217;t even fun anymore, cuz the crowd is too small to keep it tight &#038; everyone&#8217;s too scared).  And the kids wanting to &#8220;crowd surf&#8221; (most for the first time, I&#8217;m SURE), not to mention this one chic who I swear tried to get up like *15 times!* and kept goin down after like 2 passes&#8230; honestly probably cuz she&#8217;s too heavy for the weak little 14 year olds to carry her&#8230; But after like 3 times or so &#8211; &#8220;Just GIVE UP for Christ&#8217;s sake!!!&#8221; I&#8217;m serious. She tried like 12 times, atleast. I thought for sure she was gonna flash her boobs at one point just to encourage the 14 year old&#8217;s &#8220;strength&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>However, after I complained about the &#8220;stupidness&#8221; of the &#8220;youT&#8221; AND dissed Rancid (deciding even though I&#8217;ve never had one of their CDs that I just don&#8217;t like them &#8211; even though their telling the dumb pre-teen moshers in the crowd to stop fighting was pretty damn cool), I *unabashedly* became an 18 year old again for The Offspring set!! WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!! I got my rocks off wailing to every single song like I was back in my freshman year of college, playing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theoffspring.com\/music.php?action=viewdisco&#038;discoid=10&#038;s=\">SMASH<\/a> over &#038; over &#038; over again!!! I LOVED IT!!!!<\/p>\n<p>So &#8211; after them, we&#8217;d seen our fill &#038; we skipped Janes and headed over to the Hemlock for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lowerforty-eight.com\/\">Lower Fourty-Eight<\/a>.. which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.triggerfinger.com\/shootingmusic\/lower48\/live\/640\/lower48_40thst_071203_12.jpg\">my friend Grady plays bass<\/a> in. Do you know Grady? <\/p>\n<p>Grady &#038; I worked together at The Learning Annex years ago. I was an Events Coordinator there for a couple years &#8211; hence how I know Elana (hiring me for the yoga journal modeling job thingy), she was my boss there. I like to say &#8220;Grady was my bitch&#8221;. But we both know that&#8217;s not <em>really<\/em> true. :) He was great cuz we&#8217;d go drink (lots-of) beer at The Gold Rush and laugh at eachother. Well, moral of the story kids, is GRADY IS A SICK ASS BASS PLAYER!!! (I hope that shows up in Google &#8216;Grady is..&#8217; someday). <\/p>\n<p>The show was fun &#8211; very hard, really &#8211; and their sound is almost mezmorizing (but that mighta been my 2 gimlets talking, made by that cute irish boy at the bar who is *really* good at making bombay gimlits!!!) and I wish I could hear the lead singers words a bit clearer&#8230; (like Stellastarr who I love and want to marry their CD)  but it was fun to see Grady jammin on stage. Seriously &#8211; the boy plays some serious bass up there &#8211; and it makes me psyched for him that he gets to switch bass guitars throughout the show. How rockstar is that? <\/p>\n<p>Ok &#8211; so I have more &#8211; but it&#8217;s 1:45 &#8211; I&#8217;m a little buzzed (if you can&#8217;t tell from my chatty cathy post) and I&#8217;ve got to get my beauty sleep for the &#8220;shoot&#8221; tomorrow. Which is probably what I&#8217;ll be saying in the morning&#8230;.. &#8220;oh shoot!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>sorry. bad pun. <\/p>\n<p>NIGHT!<br \/>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am in love with the StellaStarr CD.
