Wow. And I do mean WOW, it has been a really long time since I have been in here ranting and raving about my obsessions. Well, obsession...I mean let's face it, obsession is in the singular form. Who would have thought that I could go for almost an entire year without muttering SOMETHING about the Foos. So much has happened since my last post, that I'm not quite sure where to begin.
And this is why this particular entry shall be a quickie. I was just sitting out on the patio, pondering the occurrences of the past calendar year and realized that I had not documented ANY of it. Either it's my brain in a state of malfunction, or I just couldn't find the words.
Well, here's the short version. (I am going to leave out the craziness of my day to day life, and just focus on one thing. The live shows.)
Since the David Letterman experience, I have had the pleasure of seeing my boys twice. Once at the Meadowlands, (I don't really care what they call it now, it will always be the Meadowlands to me), and in Newark at the Prudential Center.
Both shows were brilliant, but very different from each other.
The show at the Izod Center was SICK. By a stroke of luck, mixed with a last minute contest, my nose bleed seats were upgraded to general admission. I attended the show with people who appreciated my over the top addiction, an will never forget it.
I shall put it into fragments.
Loud.
On the floor.
Soundtrack of your dreams pumping through your veins.
Dave Grohl all but 50ft away from you singing his heart out and cracking jokes about how NJ is the only state he's ever seen tailgating with grills and tents and beer pong as they pulled into the parking lot in their stretch limo.
Sweat.
Emotion.
Just pure unadulterated fun.
And he finished the 3hr show with a kick ass version of "Everlong."
Umm...hellllooooooo.
That's good stuff.
Second show..I went with my buddy, who we will affectionately call B.
Same scenario.
But this time, there are about 20 YouTube videos that you can easily spot me out worshiping at Dave Grohl's feet.
This time, it was a freak show...but in a good way.
Dads with their kids.
Dads with mullets.
Moms night out for a whole bunch of Milf's.
Teenagers at their first concert.
Drunk frat boys.
Drunk sorority girls.
Idiots like me, who spill their $10 beer all over the floor because they played an unexpected song .
All I can say is that I will NEVER EVER forget either off those nights.
Everything that I had ever imagined was right there in front of me.
It was intense.
Ridiculous.
Soooooo much fun.
Stupid, silly, crazy.
And that's just the QUICKIE version.
Can you imagine if I REALLY went into detail??
