ARCHIVE -- dysfunctional family picnic
another archive. 2000ish?
where do i start... well lets start at thursday nite at about 10 when i was waiting for calls back to see who was taking the extra ticket...i called amber and she said she would go about 5 minutes before elisa's bf could go and an hour before shawna's brother could go...and they were pissed...i fell bad but oh well...i couldnt wait any longer and risk getting stuck witha n extra ticket...
so anyways i wind up driving, which of course i SWORE i wouldnt do...because 1) i am deathly afraid of traffic and driving in the city and 2) i bought the tix so i said i did my part so someone else should drive. But between people's cars not working and not having enough seats or money to take a train, it was mee or we eat $50 and miss the concert...so i drove...the same kind of reverse psychology that got mee to drive to woodstock again got mee to no bitch out..."you cant do it, do you know what you are getting yourself into, your not allowed..." that sort of thing
FUCK THAT!! if madre says no, then i am sure as hell gonna do it...heheh thats the kind of retart i am...im 20 years old and i live to piss off my mom....hah!
so i get like 4 hours of sleep and leave at 10 and pick everyone up and get on the road by 11 (cause not everyone was ready but ive done that to them so many times...) i drove...we got lost...of course...i should have listened to shawna...oh well
we wound up next to this car of guys from around the same place as us and we get mooned of course cause you know i wanted to see that kids ass...hahah it was funny
they went the wrong we and we didnt so we lost them after the throgs neck... our directions sucked but we found the way ourselves...i was so proud
we got there without mee hitting anything...again i was mighty proud of myself
now for the concert....
we had seats...waaaay up top...but jones beach isnt that big so we could still see and all...but you cant really dance around in a chair...but the bands were awesome...
adema
crazytown
disturbed
3 doors down
linkin park
papa roach
staind
blink 182
stone temple pilots
janes addiction
[there's pix at krockradio.com of a lot of the bands btw]
ok adema seemed kinda kool but they set up all scrunched in the middle of the stage...crazytown is too rappy for mee...we went t get autographs from the hardy boys when they were on...we got back during disturbed...fuck yeah they were kool...im gonna buy that cd as soon as i get paid...get up come on get down with the sickness... i saw 3 doors down at rider and they were really kool...i never liked them til i saw them last time...they were really good even though i was into the heavier stuff that day...
linkin park is fucking amazing...they are by far my new favorite band...i fucking love them...they get mee so fired up...i WISH we were down on the ground where i could dance around...after they finsihed they were signing autographs so i waited and waited and got pushed around by security but....
I GOT TO TALK TO THEM AND GET THEIR AUTOGRAPHS AND I SHOOK CHESTER'S HAND (god he's beautiful) I TALKED TO THE DJ JOE FOR A FEW AND HE SAID THEY WERE PLAYING OZZFEST SO...IM GOING TO OZZFEST!
that was definately the highlight of my day/week/life...hehe...i missed papa roach completely but it was worth it...
staind was fucking great, as expected. aaron did outside and changed the words to "and i smoke, more weed than anyone" it was awesome...they did a lot of new stuff and it was great
blink was good but ive seen them like 5 times now...and i was so into staind and linkin park and disturbed i wasnt really in the mood for poppy-punk rock...it was kool though..they had fireworks and smoke and stuff...it was so much it was almost cheesy but it ammused mee
then fucking stp...ive wanted to see them for YEARS...they only did like 4 songs but they rocked...scott was dressed like this drag-queen transexual from some movie...then he stripped down to these black hot pants things and tights...how is that boy not gay?? isnt he married? he used to be so hot... but anyways...they were fucking great too
janes addiction...i never thought i would get to see them...they were awesome as well...i actually knew a few more songs than i thought i did...perry was wearing this glowing lime green suit with cowboy hat...he looked like a giant glowing gumby...but not in a bad way...hehe...i wish i could have seen dave navarro a little closer up too...wow...all i can say is wow...they left the stage and we ran out but then they played jane says so we HAD to stay and see i (im sorry i flipped on you guys about staying...i just wanted to avoid the mad rush to the parking lot)
i almost fell asleep like 3 times on the way home but we found a shorter way than we came and i was in bed by 2 so it was kool...
FUCK YEAH!!
that was awesome..
i need a break from all of this concert madness...i got 4 days til i go to canada to see tool!! 4 days should be enough to recover...i hope...
