Rockin wit the Southern Boys!!

I went to a concert in San Francisco with John and Andrew last night. It was a great show. It probably went on too long, but all the bands were awesome. William Elliot Whitmore opened. It's the second time I have seen him. He was awesome as usual. You gotta love a good ol' boy from Iowa with a banjo. Rocky Votolato played next. He was great as usual too. All of his songs are so soothing. John was driving so I took a few back which didn't hurt the soothing factor. Apparently that's was the theme for the night anyway. The headliner was Lucero, a Southern rock band from Tennessee that claim that the drunker you are, the better they sound. Let me tell you this is not true. They were awesome. They have a great sound and the lead singer has a rough, raspy southern voice to compliment the sound perfectly. They were quite tight as a band too. This was especially amazing considering the amount of shots they were taking throughout the show. Definitely a band that you want to drink too. I'm not encouraging drunkeness, I'm just saying having a few beers goes well with their music. All of us liked them alot. Rocky came on stage during their last couple songs to play harmonica and take a couple shots with the other guitarist. You could tell they were having fun on stage and getting into the music. Good times! The only drawback was a bunch of drunk people in the crowd being stupid. Someone kept throwing drinks to the front of the crowd. I got hit twice. Not my lucky night I guess. Once in the head with ice and whatever else, and once in the back where Jack Daniels got all over my sweatshirt. Now I wasn't sober, but some might think I went swimming in it. That part sucked. Plus this one girl was so plastered she collapsed for no good reason right in front of John and myself. We helped her up and I don't think she had a clue what happened. I don't know why people take it that far. To me, you can't enjoy the show if your to the point where you can't stand up. Anyways, all in all we had a good time. Later!

One of the plastered chicks, in talking with her friends looked over at me and said "At least you're not like this guy, pretending we don't exist or something." I just had to laugh, as I was presently substituting for a wall since all her friends couldn't stand up straight without leaning on something or someone. I found it entertaining. Good show.

I apologize Harrison. I had no idea you liked Rocky. The show was all ages and that is my bad for not inviting both you and James. I'm sorry. Next time, I 'll make sure to tell you guys about the shows I attend.

I have to say, the Bears were very impressive this evening, man. They definately should not have won they way they played, but they pulled through. Congrats.
