Thanksgiving Eve
I just got back from the Matt Pond PA show at Soma in Point Loma. Two shows in one week! It reminds me of myself 1 year ago when I'd go to shows all the time. After the first show this week The Lemonheads my ears rung for 2 days straight. It probably didn't help that we were standing right up front.Tonight's show had its own drama when someone in the crowd yelled to the band "you suck!" The lead singer for Matt Pond PA is like "whoever just said that should come up to the front of the stage. I'll kick you're fucking ass." It was pretty intense especially for a little Northern Boy like me.
Anyways have a great Thanksgiving guys! Send me photos of you cooking, eating turkey and touching your significant other in places I only dream about!
LOVE GREGORY!

man if we had beaten up everybody who yelled "you suck" at our shows, there wouldn't have been anyone left.
i like matt pond pa, but it seems like his show would be kind of blah. what did you think?

You didn't mention that he had actually asked the crowd to verbally abuse them because the crowd was so quite... and then compleatly forgot that he said that and got pissed off like a little bitch. I love pissy rockstars.

yeah I chose to leave that out. It made my story more juicy

Too bad on nobody getting their ass kicked. There's nothing quite as fun as watching some loud mouthed mother fucker get their ass kicked.

That's what I figured, drama queen. You guys could have a nice bitch slaping fight. It would be cute.

OofD: That loud mouthed mother was just some kid who thought the band would play along. As we were leaving I walked by him and his friend was like, "Man - he was going to kick your ass!!" and the kid was all scared and agreed. Haha... Fun times at an under age venue.

I would do the secret santa thing but I'm a little weary of people knowing my address.
Wow - you're turning 30?? You are soooo old. I'm only 22.

Will all the 22 year olds please keep quiet about their age. We 32 year olds are still trying to pretend that we're not dinosaurs.
