Karrie's Box of Thoughts

Thursday, September 08, 2005

There will be plenty of descriptions of La Crosse/Chicago floating around out there. So I thought I would just pulled out some random thoughts about everything that comes to mind about the whole summer of living out of my luggage.

First off all - Yes, I've been living out of a suitcase. Or 3 to be more precise. I have 3 stacked up at the foot of my bed. Because I never quite had the time to unpack one, before I need to pack another. Sounds weird, but I'm going to a concert with the same band......I can't wear the same thing! So at some point, I'm going to have to get that sorted out before the tower topples and hurts someone, namely moi!

Why is it necessary to drink yourself to the point of getting arrested and miss the concert? If you think about it, this was mostly a general admission tour; so you stand in line all day, get shit faced and then get kicked out….make sense? But I think for the most part, the ones getting the drunkest are the annoying “Def Leppard? There still around?” people. They only show to hear “Pour some sugar on me” ‘cuz it’s the only song they know and annoy the rest of us!!

Port-a-potties, Ugh! G/A means standing around in line with no ‘facilities’. Unless you’re oh so lucky to get a port-a-potty. Some venues were gracious enough to provide more then one. Kansas City was not one of these…. 1 damn pot to piss in. Nasty!

Billy Squier sitting in a chair playing a guitar and singing whatever and however the hell he wants does not pump the crowd up for what’s to come. Ok, he wanted to go acoustic. Fine. But when playing your “hits”, at least sing a version and tempo similar to the original so the crowd you’re annoying can make an attempt to sing along and get in to it! Most annoying!

It is possible to feel uncomfortable being at too many shows. Ya know, if you go to enough shows and stand around in the same general area; you can get the distinct impression people think you’re a stalker. Now the only saving grace is the fact the person who goes with you is different (and the reason you went to that show in the first place). But still, you do have a tendency to get a bit paranoid people are looking at you funny.

Canada has Vexx!! This is by far my new favorite concert beverage. And the fact you get it with ice, a straw and in a cup with a lid….. Oh C*A*N*D*A!!!

Nothing – NOTHING can’t beat the sight of a 5-6 women standing in a row against a barricade grabbing their boobs and not facing the band! This happened in Chicago when these two escapees from the farmyard were going at it and Kim, Jules, Jess, I and a couple of girls hangin with us along the fence were describing this pleasant *snort* display to other people.

More later as I think of it.
