re: Karaoke
my tune is always Eye-Of-The-freaking-Tiger.
(Complete with shadow boxing choreography.)
ya know – oddly enough, i think it might have been during Corrina. good grief. and yes, the vibe there was weird. got even worse the next night at Merriweather Post. f that place.
…and for the record, I’m with willow; Cocktails and herb are my path now (exceptions being places like the Gorge and Indio). Ya gotta get lit in a spot like the Gorge.
I did the fainting thing, or what I used to refer to as “my body hitting the ‘reset’ button”.
7/13/99 After Windowpaning 7/12
Before show: Eat one eighth of fungi.
Set Break, look at friend, shrug shoulders, repeat.
Wolfman’s Brother.
Holy Moly.
Fall over on guy behind me, dancing wildly on the way down. Not to be confused with fun guy. His question to me: “Are you all right, man?”
neemor: “Yes”.
Him: “Good. Then get the fuck of me.”
I then spent twenty minutes on the ground (surrounded by friends) feeling every sip of water flow through me and out my pores.
Piper, Bug>Mist blew my mind.
Antelope saved my life.
My friend: “Dude, DUDE! Stand up. You gotta see this!”
neemor:::struggling to feet::: Sees huge string of glowsticks weaving its way through the crowd. Realizes, we’re all in this together.
Back to reality.
He said, “Get the fuck off of me.”
Not some sort of weird transference thing happening.
Antelope to the rescue?
Who woulda thunk it?
So purple, yes, you’re missing something….but not everything.
Only in the sense of, everyone should try this at least once.
I only do shows sober now.
Don’t want to miss a note.
Yes. I love karaoke.
yeah – “reset” is certainly one way to put it. Ever since then, no matter what my state, I’ve been very keen to keeping my environment to my satisfaction. If I’ve gotta move to find greener pastures, so be it. Correspondingly, do not ask me if your friend(s) can stub down and grab some space where i have a reserved seat. The answer is no.
Playing 7/12/99 for my young apprentice friend at work.
His first show was this year Jones Beach II, followed by Hartford.
Happens to be a genius on the guitar. 20 years old.
Foreplay/Longtime starts up.
The look on this kids face-priceless.
No WAY! Foreplay?
Yes, my young friend.
Foreplay.
It was awesome.
I recall running up the Great Woods steps to the lawn to the opening of that.
Still gets me worked up.
Listen to that appreciative crowd.
“Correspondingly, do not ask me if your friend(s) can stub down and grab some space where i have a reserved seat. The answer is no.”
I’m the same way.
People think I’m a dick.
I just know better.
Neemor, I was at that show, was this you???

ha
Just Say No to stub-downs.
I’ll look when the song ends, BTB.
Is it wook down related?
I refuse to leave a show no matter what happens.
12-29-09…my back was absolutely killing me. I could not move at all with out it feeling like someone was stabbing a knife into my lower back.
Hit the lot early looking for something that would erase my back pain. Found a random pharmie. Not a big fan of pharmies, especially the hardcore ones. Well, i ended up getting one that was wayyyyy too hardcore for me to handle. That mixed with some other extra curriculars was not a plesant combo.
Ended up turning white as a ghost. Got extremely nauseous. The entire first set i was like the drunk guy on an airplane running back and forth between the bathroom to hurl. Luckily i could still hear the show in the bathroom.
Big mistake.
Luckily, i was fine by set two and managed to pull it together and had a great rest of the show. But never again will i fuck with that shit again. I cannot fathom how people take that shit and go into a show expecting to have a good time. Made the resolution for the next two nights that i would rather have my back kill me than to fuck up my show experience.
Funny thing is that at the show, i really didn’t feel any back pain. As soon as i left i was in a world of hurt.
I stubbed down once and ended up fighting for my spot on the rail for the Wooster YEM opener.
BTB, I’m thinking this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1IDftvDo04&NR=1
Do yourself a favor and listen to a Reba from ’95. Pure magic! That is all.
Almost considered leaving the show it was such an unpleasant feeling. But i tightened up and said “there is no way i’m missing this.”
You guys are hysterical.
I can envision that I looked like both of those wild fellas at some point that night.
Good shit.
WT- what did you take? I you don’t mind me asking?
it was a roxy…the most disgusting shit i have ever had.
That shit is fucking gnarly.
never ever again!
If there is plenty of room on the floor and abandoned seats, I’m all about the stub-down
e.g. Cinci and Albany this time around.
If its packed, hell no, you cannot squeeze in brahhhhh
WT- that’ll do it for sure. Those things make you very nauseous.
Those dancing vids are redic. that second guy in the yellow undies. yowzer!
neemor, I particularly liked your yellow, um, “swim wear” in that video. classy and functional at the same time.
Sounds like an OC you weren’t ready for, with the nausea and all.
Learned a valuable life lesson that night…lol
That’s for sure.
Yeah, the yellow tight trunks really allow me to press my face up against the speaker stack with unmatched proficiency.
