"Bound For The Floor" 2004-07-27 - 4:19 a.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj [it's amazing how much I can swallow and still put on a happy face] I haven't updated in a while no reason, really had my first day of work saturday it's alright if you're not on register it's basically just like hanging out at Hot Topic for 4 hours without being able to buy shit it gets boring real quick I did learn a few things, though: Slipknot fans are the messiest, most uncurtious bastards of music fans out there at closing we have to go and reorganize all the little piles of shirts and all the Slipknot shirts were just gigantic messes; turned from a neatly-folded stack to a gigantic pile of disorder the fuckheads second; I found out Thrice really does suck I'd heard that song "staring at the sun" and one of their others on MTV and the radio, and I'd thought they sounded ok I had intended to buy their album luckily I never got around to it; or I would've been pissed usually they just put an ass-load of discs into this 100 disc changer at Hot Topic and put it on random but around closing one of the guys convinced the manager to just play Thrice's album and boy, did it suck their two radio songs were very misleading they're really just the same screaming crap as all these other shitty bands out right now except the lead singer still has his testacles oh well, live and learn and I don't know if it was just the manager we had there saturday, or if it's "store policy"; but at closing time they actually played "Closing Time" by Semisonic as a not-so-subtle hint to the customers to wrap up their shopping and get the hell out heh heh I don't know why but I really liked that anyway, fast forward to tonight; with The Killers, The Burning Brides, and The Evening my prediction from last night was correct but it was still a lot of fun although I'd "seen" The Evening with The Killers and Stellastarr* up in Phoenix I'd actually walked in about 3/4 of the way through their set and couldn't really hear them but tonight I caught the whole thing, and I really enjoyed them bought their CD, actually next up was The Burning Brides who were pretty good nothing mind-blowing but something of note: they started with Heart Full Of Black; which, as I've mentioned, I really like but of course, this being Tucson, I was the only one really rocking out to it well this girl came up next to me, and she's rocking out too then she turns to me and says: "wanna start a mosh pit?" now, much to my shagrin, I'd never been in a mosh pit before but I definitely wanted to try it so I said: "sure", and she just shoves this girl in front of her so we got the pit started and there were a lot of big, burly guys there and I'm pretty skinny some might even say scrawny so big burly guys + me x mosh pit = me airborne I kid you not, I spent most of my time in the pit airborne I don't know if that's normal or not but I would get in there and everytime somebody shoved me I would just find myself flying across the pit until I landed on some other poor bastard I wasn't really flying; but my feet weren't touching the ground at first I was really good at landing on my feet but I had to duck out early since I had been smoking a lot and hadn't had anything to drink; and the exercise in the mosh pit made me absolutely dying of thirst so I spent most of the Burning Brides' set to the side, gulping down water and sweating profusely after their set I met up with Ruben and Gabby and we hung out and talked apparently Sara wants to rejoin the band but we reached a unanimous decision that we don't need her I'm not selfish enough to gloat about it [plus I don't have anything against Sara] but it's nice to know the band is behind my vocals 100% anyway after that The Killers were up they were alright a bit dissapointing, actually not so much because of them; moreso because of how much I'd built them up in my head they gave a decent performance but decent wasn't good enough to match up to my inordinately high expectations oh well anyway, during the course of their show, the entire crowd gradually became a giant mosh pit I joined in several times [most of them voluntary] but I just kept falling more and more, so finally I decided to just stay out of the pit although, I did lose my bracelet in the pit which kind of sucks I liked that bracelet but it didn't have any sentimental value; and I can get another one at Hot Topic with my discount so no big deal I'll just go without for a few days all in all it was a pretty good show made small talk with the singer and guitarist from The Killers after the show Ruben was all happy because they remembered him other than that: The Remaining may have another gig this weekend this time at somebody else's place, so we don't have to worry about cleanup and the like which'll be nice assuming it happens who really knows?
