    There are decent chick flicks. For example, I thought that "Fifty First Dates" with Sandler & Barrymore was great, funny, & had a great moral to teach.

    "How To Lose" was just fucking gawd-awful.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    This is for Fanch

    So a friend of a co-worker went to the GNR concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom this weekend and he wore his Slash shirt to the show in protest. He got VIP tickets because he was throwing back shot of Jager with Dizzy Reed a few weeks ago and he gave him tickets and passes to the after party. This is the scene at the afterparty.


    We wound up at the after party and this is what happened: "So we were standing somewhere in the middle of the bar when I see Axl Rose approaching me. Im not sure, but I think he just got there. Whatever, FREAKIN AXL ROSE is like now 5 steps away from me and approaching. I gotta say SOMETHING to this guy. He was at a time my rock hero, and he still is the singer of all my favorite songs. He is about to walk past me when I kinda block his path. I say "Whats up Ax?" and put my hand out towards him. He glances at my face for a moment, then turns his attention to my SLASH t-shirt, says noting about it, then looks to me "Hey, whats up." I shook his hand, he went to a table behind me, and I resumed being a moron with my new eye candy. He probably thought I was an asshole with my Slash shirt at a freakin Guns N' Rose party, and that was exactly my intention. Dizzy Reed and John from Dix arrived after going for "a ride" and Dizzy told me to turn my shirt "inside-out or something man". WHATEVER dude. Too late. He didn't seem too pleased but did not harp about it anymore. So now Sebastian Back the lead singer from Skid Row is next to me at the bar. I was telling him how much Slave To The Grind is one of favorite albums ever and how influential he was to my teen years, and yada-yada. He was cool as sh*t and very sincere to a guy who had nothing original or interesting to say."

    excess of freaks? what kinda freaks? should i be scared?

    My definition of a freak:

    The freak travels from show to show and sleeps in a car, on floors, outside, or wherever they can. The freak doesn't bathe. The freak doesn't really know any of Pearl Jam's music. The freak can't distinguish Red Mosquito from Even Flow. The freak will always approach you and is a close talker. In the hotels they will hang out in the hallways instead in a room and will draw on each other or bead hair. If it looks like you've got it together at your tailgate, the freak will be there to bum alcohol and annoy you with stories about nothing. They will breathe on you with horrible breath. They'll ask you for drugs. They will pull food from their pockets and eat it. They will try to barter with you for your beer using bead jewelry, string bracelets, or God know what else. They will try to sell you things or just flat out ask for money. They are for the most part harmless.

    I just want to be left alone by them. Unfortunately they always seem to migrate to wherever I am. I can't be outwardly rude to the freaks, just subtly sarcastic.

    Their numbers at Pearl Jam concerts seem to be increasing.

    I apologize if I've come off sounding like a dick, but I work for a living. I don't know what these people do but I'm not supporting them. Like I said, I'm never mean to anyone. I just don't want to be bothered by "the freaks." I dont care what people look like. I don't judge people on their looks. If a person can hold a coherent converstaion and not continually try to pick my pocket I'll talk to them.

    Hmmm....CT has a lot of people in their 50's with a lot of money who did many hallucinogens during the late 60's early 70's. Sounds like hippies to me. :) They might just move out to CA, OR, and WA for the liberal mary jane laws and come back to CT for PJ if they're from the area. :)
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Say Anything is one of my favorite movies and it's a chick flick. :) You're SO right about How to Lose...ugh.

    What room were you in at the Crown Plaza?? We were in 1216, that place was pretty nice. Except BA called the front desk to get a cab and they tell him "Um, we dont do that." WTF, we weren't asking you to drive us, just call us a cab like a normal hotel. Other than that though it was a nice place.

    They had that same problem on the 2005 boots. I think they did eventually fix them, or I just put one of the songs on the first disc and it fit on two discs, but youre right, they should fix it.

    I'll bet our paths crossed. I think we were 1215 or something. That's too bad we never met before. I met a couple of decent people at the hotel after the show...and some total flakes. I asked one guy who had been to Albany what he felt the show stopper was. He said "Hide Your Love Away." They played Satan's Bed, Rats, Red Mosquito, and from what I've been told, an awesome version of Porch. He thought "Hide Your Love Away" was the stopper because John Lennon was just a musical genius. His logic was fascinating. I would have talked with him for hours but I had to go in my room and punch myself repeatedly in the balls. Please tell me that wasn't you.

    As for Hartford, who knew it took a fucking Army recon mission to find food after 1AM. I mean wtf, 4 stops, 5 people questioned and we end up at Aladdin pizza. Food was great and the scenery was hilarious, wonder if that chick ever got anything or just passed out at the counter. :)

    Me: (to guy and girl on the corner) Excuse me, are you from here?

    Guy and Girl: (simultaneously) Yes. No.

    Me: Ok, don't fuck with me here, I'm hungry.

    LOL, while I do like Hide Your Love Away, that was most definitely not me. I was just jamming out to Why Go from Albany....that was great too!! Thats too funny you were that close to us and we didnt meet you. Oh well, Im sure we'll meet up in Philly.

    Plus, you should expect a PM from me tonight about those FLACs and how I go about doing that whole deal.

    Walking around that place all I had going through my head was Cartman singing "In The Ghetto".

    The whole changing of seats was BA's idea, but it would have been cool if we could have gotten towards the middle of the center section.
    Well, I suggested it. We just wanted to be more centered like he said. The look son the faces of some of the people were crazy. When I would ask a couple the guy would answer and say: "I think she wants to stay here." That happened like 5 times. Other people, guys specifically, who lookd like they lived in their parent's basement and rubbed out to Ed all the time just ignored me. There are definitely some strange ones among us, and I don't mean the freaks that Ed referred to.

    I'm trying to catch up here. 8 pages was a lot to sort through by 11:30 am. Damn.

    By the way-

    The much anticipated Sean/Julie humping session did not happen. I fell for Maya, but by the time she got off I was still at the show, and she left by the time I got back. Then Julie's parents came and picked her up way too early after the show for me to escort her back to lovely suite 1216 for any former college athlete ass slappin' luv.
