Matthew Good Was Good To Me

How cheesy am I? Heh. So I went and saw Matt Good Saturday night and it was such a great show. Incredible. I can't wait until he plays again so I can see him. Fortunately he's from here, so I hope he plays again here soon.

I took off for Cassidy's early in the evening and we sat around and waited for Aaron to come get us. We were bored so we took a shot glass and wrapped it up in a condom to give to Aaron as a present. Don't ask. I don't even know and I was a participant. In fact, I think it might have been my idea.... god, I'm weird. Anyway. So Aaron showed up with Mike and Mike, we gave him his gift, and off we went.

Lots of boring stuff, yapping, blah-blah-blah-ing in the car and then we get there and more blah-blah-blah standing in line stuff. We get in and we sit down at a table nice and close. We order some drinks and THE BEST CHEESECAKE EVER. White chocolate with raspberry. Yum. It was some seriously good cheesecake. More drinks, my sister-in-law Jen (very cool girl, I'm lucky) showed up and sat down with us.

Then the opening band came on. I'm apparently the only one who didn't mind them. They were called The Ladies And Gentleman. They dressed all in white, which was a little odd, but I thought they were funky and kinda cool. Everyone else thought they sucked which probably means that they did suck as I'm pretty easy to please at a concert. Now if I actually remember them a year from now, that might be different. I remember the good ones.

They finish up and Cassidy and I made our way up front and center. Well, a bit back because the crowd was thick. The guys in front of us were just about the most annoying guys on the planet. They were the guys that start the pushing and shoving circle in the middle of the mosh pit. It's Matt Good, guys, not Metallica. Whatever. They pushed and shoved and almost killed us a few different times. We definitely got our toes trampled. They kept trying to get us to move in front of them and got mad when we wouldn't, but uh, if we had? We would have been trampled underneath them. Stupid boys.

During the show, this really drunk guy kept wandering around. He tugged on my hair a few times and then he even licked Cassidy's ear. Gross. Then later, he was staggering behind us and leaning into people at random. He started to lean towards me, but I just stepped out of the way and crash bang boom. He fell flat on his ass. I hope it hurts still.

Matt Good was, again, amazing. He played a looong set, it was just shy of two hours and he gave two encores. I took lots of pictures with my non-digital camera that I really really really hope turn out. I pissed off enough people with my flash, they better turn out decent! I'm hoping that I can get them developed tomorrow so I can post any that turn out.

Soooo, if you ever get the chance to go see him, do. He's well worth the money.
