So, last night was the Social Distortion show, and it fucking kicked ass! The band was great, and as usual, Mike Ness was so fucking hot it was unreal....I enjoyed the show, standing close to the bar, far enough away from the stage so that I wasn't being pushed around by ppl trying to pit(not that I mind pitting, it's just I'm a little past the "pitting age" in my life), but not so far away that I couldn't see the stage....It was nice...I went by myself, which I sometimes like to do, especially when I'm going to see a band which I love as much as Social D...primarily because there is no drama...When you go w/ other people, there is sooo much drama that can happen, it's unreal....So I went alone in order to fully enjoy the show, without interuption...*BUT*, of course, some dork decided that in the middle of the Social D set, it was a good time to come try to hit on me....Here's how it went....
I'm standing by the bar, watching the show, when all of a sudden, I feel a tap on my back...I turn around to come face to face w/ possibly the nerdiest guy I've ever seen...He was around 5'5, glasses, spikey hair, and a black leather motorcycle jacket, that looked so new it wouldn't surprise me if he had bought it specifically to look "cool" at the show....Anyways, he taps my back and I turn around.....
"Hi, so uh what's your name?"
"Sharon"...I turn back around to watch the show
"Cool, I'm so-and-so"....(I don't remember his name)...the whole while this is going on, he is singing, word for word, along w/ Mike Ness....right in my fucking ear!!!...I'm more than annoyed, because I'm just trying to watch my fav band ever, but all I can hear is this dork singing along loudly....So that song finishes and another one starts...he decides to poke me again
"So are you here alone?"
"Yes"
"Sweet! well, you can just hang out w/ me then!!!!!"
"Hmmm, no thanks, I'm just trying to watch the show" I barely even turn around to look at him when I'm talking, hoping he would get the idea that I wanna be left alone....He doesn't...and a few minutes later, still singing along w/ each song, he all of a sudden starts jumping, up and down, like he was at a fucking Kriss Kross concert or something....I don't know what the hell he was doing, but he just kept jumping and jumping....he finally stops jumping and pokes me again
"Hey! Will you jump with me?"
"What?"... I turn around and give him the most annoyed look I can muster, and trust me, I can give some pretty good 'looks'....
"Jump with me, like this, jump!!!" he jumps again
"NO, look dude, I'm just trying to watch the show...."....he stops jumping, but is still standing so closely next to/behind me that I can feel his lame-o jacket against me, and hear his off tune loudass singing in my ear...I've already contemplated moving several times by now, cause while this has happened at least 4 different songs have been played, to give you some idea of the time.....I don't move cause it's crowded and I have a premium spot....
"hey"... he pokes me again, but at the same time, manages to spill beer on me, I give him another 'look' and grab some napkins and wipe off my arm and pants....He FINALLY gets the hint and moves along.....And I am back to being able to enjoy the rest of the show in peace!
Other than that annoying little guy, I was left alone and had a good time....I wasn't feeling too well before the show, I even had to pull over on the way there because I was feeling sooo sick....so I just left when they were done w/ their gratuitous 'encore', went to a sports bar and had an $11 steak w/ baked potatoe and green beans...yummy....perfect night....almost.....woulda been completely perfect if Mike Ness had taken me on his tour bus and had his way w/ me....Oh well, I can always dream....
So...What did you do for Halloween??

I think we should have a universal 'bug off' word...like a safe word in s&m? So whenever someone like that approaches you, all you have to do is say, "BANANA!" And everyone knows what's going on...
Y'know what...let's create one and go with it!
It can be the new thing!!!
