Panic At The Disco



One of the oddly fun things about working rock shows is seeing events I normally wouldn't buy tickets for. As I'm a total geezer now, and my niece is about to graduate from H.S. But, I'm complete idiot about the most of the more cultish bands that make the girls of Generation Y scream.


Way back during my time as a teen ( think 1984 - Breakfast Club ) it was Depeche Mode, who were totally mainstream pop idols in Europe. But here in backwaters of Canada, they were the shy, romantic, nerdy teen girls band of choice. And that was really the reason we, the dorky guys in school liked the band as well. Because one of their shows would collect piles of Vancouver's shy, romantic, nerdy girls in the forum. And more importantly they'd all be really excited and possibly even drunk on bootlegged Vodka Coolers. ( Event Security in the 80's was paltry in comparison to the phalanx of steroid filled Nazi body builders that propagate todays concerts )

Where we would go and hope and pray to meet one and maybe hook up - Honestly I don't think we used that word - I don't remember having a word that described meeting a girl, getting slightly drunk on watered down stolen booze, and making out in some teen disco or rusty green VW Bug. We just hoped with blind faith. that we'd finally meet, "Her"

Setting up Panic At The Disco yesterday I had no clue as to who they were. And more importantly, what type of fans they would have. The gear was all top notch. Custom risers and gear. drapes and backdrops that made the show look all romantic and gauzy. The cool multiple Video projection, VL's 2500's and sponsored by Honda Civic. I should have know it was a screaming teen idol rock band.

But, walking through the backstage entrance past security and into the venue to check in for the strike. I could feel it. The pile of drunk exhausted suburban teen girls, all ashamed and embarrassed for being caught stumbling drunk. While being looked after by the female first aid attendants, told me everything I needed to know.

That their would be excited nerdy, dorky and romantic teen girls and guys here. Maybe even some at their first rock show. And also in attendance would be slightly embarrassed, overprotective, parents hoping it would soon be over. All while secretly wishing they were the ones breaking free and getting drunk on the fun and excitement.

I don't normally go for pics with famous people but I wanted one with the greatest golfer of all time. I have a pic of me and Donald Trump also, I worked for him for a year or so.

There are so really cool people on your top 10 list but I hate to say the one I would like to meet the most. Drew Barrymore, I have had a crush on her forever. I always told myself that she was a regular girl and if I ever got the chance to meet her she would fall in love with me. I envy you sir!
