Yes indeed, lilly

there's no place to sit down at warped tour besides the guitar hero tent they had this year and the first aid/food areas. i was so glad to just sit down when i got home that day.

oh man, i'd love to see conor.

the only time i've ever sat down at a show is for the london symphony orchestra (which i catch every time they're in daytona) and in st augustine for david dondero. they knew it'd be a hell of a long show so they brought out every chair that i think they owned. still had less than a 50 person turnout, which was cool.

I'm gonna watch Raising Arizona. Your replies better coincide with my opinions after I watch it!

It's Conor and Jenny Lewis, but I really don't want to pay $40 and be 20 rows back sitting down. Plus, I've got the Mars Volta the next night and Black Keys the night after that, so I'm not totally bummed out.

the first time i saw apocalyptica, i saw them sitting down and it was amazing.

i've seen plenty of shows sitting down, you can't rock out to all music.

whoa, the mars volta? i wanted to see them earlier this year but i wasn't in town. my friends went without me and called me during it just to tell me how much i was missing.

yeah, the night the walkmen are playing an hour or so north of here, i'm seeing against me! and ted leo at a venue in downtown disney. it's going to be a great night.

at a show in provo, i sat right under the drumset on stage and it was fucking amazing.

Mars Volta is going to be epic. I still have to drive 2 hours, but I'm meeting up with 3 of my friends. No opening band, they go on at 8. It's going to be intense. I've told everyone to be there at 6 so we are up front.

[Everyneurotic]

i saw the ex with getatchew mekurya plus mahmoud ahmed and others and i was sitting down the whole time, but totally rocking in the groove.

josh- good strategy. that's going to be truly epic. the showing up early thing always works.. i'll always remember xiu xiu in april when these two guys and i got to the bar where they were playing hours in advance (honky tonk texan bar slash venue) and we helped jamie stewart and the opening band set up stuff while the bar regulars stared us up and down.

[Sonic Youth 37]

I always get to shows hours early. It'll be great as long as my friends don't show up stoned, it's very possible. Unfortunately, nothing cool has happened because of it.

[schizophrenicroom]

if i knew i'd be able to follow along during the show, i think seeing the mars volta stoned would be pretty fun.

show up to deerhoof early and chat up greg. he's a blast to just listen to. i think i've told the whole story of this show on here a dozen times, but honestly deerhof is an experience.

[Sonic Youth 37]

The main reason I'm against it is that one of them is a insufferable bitch most of the time and even more so when stoned. Plus, he's never been to a concert before and I refuse to console or babysit his ass for 2 and half or 3 hours.

I'll be a Deerhoof at least an hour and a half before doors and will try to get inside.

[schizophrenicroom]

that was like how i took my then-best friend to see clap your hands say yeah last year, and she was such a baby about it. she wore earplugs as to not destroy her ears. she asked me why there were so many drunk people, and i said because indie rock is more tolerable drunk. she didn't pick up on my attempt at a joke.

[Sonic Youth 37]

Hopefully he won't be a bitch. He like TMV, so maybe he'll stand it. If he doesn't, I'll just have the crowd pass him to the back. It's really weird, the four of us that are going. One is totally into hardcore punk, another is a Deadhead, the whiney one loves Radiohead and Nirvana, and then there's me. It should be fun and intersting.

WTF? Salad Fingers...This creeps me out.

I used to go to shows with a girl friend of mine. We had the exact same tastes, but it was cool. Now she's too far away to go . That's the main reason I wanted to go to the other Deerhoof, so we could go together.

I'm halfway through it. Trying to decide what's up next.

[schizophrenicroom]

my friend in tallahassee wants me to take her to something in orlando because being involved in dance, she doesn't get out too much. being four hours away is the only issue. otherwise, i told her she's welcome.

i'm almost at the end, and i have it set to repeat but i'm thinking of putting on sister because i haven't listened to it for so long.

[Sonic Youth 37]

She's like 3 hours away and in a prime music area, so it won't be long before I'm over her way.

Something Sonic would be good...I've not listened to Sister in a long time either, but I'm not really in the mood for it.

[schizophrenicroom]

some cool stuff goes on in tallahassee and i have tons of people up there i'm friendly with, but it's too far.

last night i put on evol but i wasn't feeling it. if i'm not in the mood, i really can't listen to sonic youth anymore.
