The Aquabats show last night…

I have very mixed emotions about how the show was last night…

  • I loved seeing Anees in his Aquabat outfit. He’s so cute in it and he was really happy to be there. He bought us hoodies so now we can be that annoying matchy couple :D
  • I’m happy the Aquabats are gaining more fans from different demographics thanks to the Super Show, but alot of the people that were there last night were assholes and needed to chill out.
  • I’m all for pitting, but pit appropriately. When you’re at a Cannibal Corpse show, it’s totally cool if you’re out for blood. At an Aquabats show, that looses it’s charm really quickly.
  • Don’t give me shit for bumping into you when (a) you’re on the floor (b) the only song you know the words to is “Burger Rain”.
  • The Aquabats are hilarious, but the whole stopping halfway through a song to ramble on to each other for 10 minutes thing got old fast. They could’ve played at least 10 more songs in the time they spent speaking nonsensically.

This makes me sound like an old fart or an elitist, but last night made me really miss the Aquabats shows where you knew half the crowd and were friends with the other half by the end of the show. I listen to all types of music, have seen all kinds of bands, and have met and pitted with all types of people. The thing I’ve always loved about ska is the comraderie that other genres generally lack. Last night there was no comraderie. Most of the people I encountered tried picking fights with me or my friends over the dumbest things, i.e. Jon was too tall so they couldn’t see past him, or how dare I get pushed into someone’s girlfriend. It was just idiotic.

Aside from their sound issues, Suburban Legends were fun and awesome as always. Apart from their random ramblings amongst themselves, The Aquabats were also awesome. I give a thumbs up to the bands that played, and a whole hearted “Go fuck yourself.” to the people we encountered in the crowd.

The Aquabats and Suburban Legends!!

It was nice catching up with Vince, Brad and I are ready for our contracts with Ford Models, and Derek and I kick more ass than Chuck Norris. Have I told you how much I love my friends and my life?

If they’re selling these at the final show in Anaheim I’m totally picking one up…even if Goldfinger isn’t on our date. I LOVE it!

Buying tickets on Friday :) I wish we had Goldfinger instead of The Maxies though. There’s only so many songs about clubbing seals I can take.
