Very cool.

Thanks!

I just got back to San Diego. Gave my tickets for tonight and tomorrow to other fans for free. Great show but... It didn't leave me feeling good about myself. Felt super shitty after the show and I need to finish boxing my belongings up anyway. They played "The Dark Canuck", so there is nothing more I can ask for.

Too many bad brownies?

I didn't even get high until after the show.

What did you mean by not feeling good about yourself...were you bad at the show?

Were you right in front of Gordie and just to right of Paul in front?

I was in front right in front of Rob, with my two friends.

I was in the red flannel, rocking my ass off. I was an asshole to this one girl, but in my defense she snatched a handkerchief right out of my hand, though I later realized that it was just a freaking handkerchief and apologized to her. Felt pretty shitty about that. The whole idea of spending the week in LA when I really needed to finish boxing my stuff up for my move to Victoria... and though this may sound crazy, the fact that Gord was interacting with this drunk douchebag for the entirety of the show and barely even glanced at me, aside from once when I was going crazy and singing along during "The Depression Suite" kinda pissed me off too, not so much that he wasn't giving me attention since there were a ton of people there and I don't think I deserved it more than most of them, but that drunk guy was just... such a douche. I hated the crowd and I am pretty sure the crowd hated me because I was maybe one of 5 or so people dancing and rocking out and I just didn't get a good vibe from the whole thing, though most of it is just me. The band was great, the set was great, I just... wasn't. I dunno. Weird vibes from the whole thing. Didn't feel right. At least two other fans got to see more Hip than they could have (especially the guy I gave last night's ticket to since apparently the show was sold out and the fact that he was the only person there rockin' out as hard as I was).

Sucks but I care way too much about this fucking band and I felt as if it was getting in the way of a) my responsibilities, especially ones relating to this huge move that is terrifying to me and stressing me out to no end and b) to a much less extent but still important others' enjoyment, which I usually don't give a fuck about since I believe that GA concerts (as I posted in another thread here) are a primal and visceral experience where you have to just let loose and do what feels right unless you're being violent or TRYING to bother people, which I never do, but in this case I was in a tiny room filled with people who care about this band as much as I do and a lot of them won't have the luxury of seeing all three shows so why subject them to a crazed, smelly dude loudly singing along and bumping into them and stepping on their feet? I just can't stand still at a show! It's against everything I believe in... Oh well. I'm just rambling, trying to answer your question and find a reason for myself as to why I didn't feel like going to the other two shows but coming back to SD just felt right, and I hope everyone had a great time at the first show and the last two as well!

Yep. Sounds crazy indeed.

You are male, right?

[screw_ball]

Yeah. I dunno... I just spent all the day on the bus and the last of my money to get to this show and I stand alone, waiting for the show to start as this guy gets progressively more and more drunk and yells and screams before the show and calls the bands a bunch of names for not coming on RIGHT NOW even though it's pretty much common knowledge at this point they're coming on at nine... And his drunk friend was hoarding handkerchiefs, too. He got, like, three. I think I may just be an attention whore. Still, f.uck that guy.
