Stone Temple Pilots in Charlotte tonight!! Thank you Scott Weiland for not being in rehab or jail today!!
I’m psyched. I’m driving baby bro down, and our seats are EXCELLENTLY excellent pre-sale seats.
It’s not time to go yet, but I’m kinda getting things organized. It’s funny how differently I prepare to go see a show as compared to the olden days. For example, I’ll go ahead and get some clothes out for work in the morning since I’ll be getting in kinda late tonight…back in the day, I would’ve instead been formulating reasons to call in sick tomorrow. I would’ve selected my sturdiest badass footwear based on anticipated moshpit time, and now, I’m picking something that’s comfy to stand in for hours. Of course, big venues like the one today won’t allow moshpits; they’ll throw you out because of the liability…oh but back in my youth, no one cared if we landed face first on the concrete or fell over chairs or whatever.
I’m excited! When I bought the tickets, summer hadn’t even really kicked in yet, and the concert seemed a million years away, but it’s today! I haven’t seen STP in about twelve years. Last show I saw was when I was living in Virginia–wow, that was a long time ago, because I went with Minime’s dad, Mr. Kat 1.0, as one of the last things we ever did as a married couple. Yeah, that’s been a lifetime ago…
I will not be wearing an STP shirt to the concert. Scootster and I were discussing the dorkiness of wearing the band’s shirt to their show…it’s kind of a DUH! thing to do, because you’re obviously a fan or you wouldn’t be there in the first place. Wearing their shirt is just overkill, trying too hard. I do like concert shirts, though, but why the hell are they so damn pricey? I’m not paying $40 for a tshirt, hell no…especially when I can get it off eBay for less some other day.
Happy Sunday, all!
