*sigh*...I'm getting too old for this

sabotai · 09-04-2005, 01:29 PM

I went to a concert last night at the House of Blues in Atlantic City. We get there at about 4pm, walk the boardwalk a little, eat dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe (which, by the way, didn't play any "hard rock"...who picks the muic there?). And the food sucked...

But anyway, the doors opened at 6, and the first banded started playing around 7pm. So there we were, standing for the rest of the night (watching crappy modern punk band after crappy modern punk band...I guess you guessed by now I was there because my friend needed someone to go with her, not because I wanted to see these bands) To be fair, the last 2 (H20 and the main band, The Used) weren't that bad. Not good...but tolerable. There was one semi-cool band. It was a group of 3 percussion players. But they were lost on the mostly < 18 year old crowd..

But, and the point of this post, by that time my legs and back were hurting so much, it didn't matter who was playing. I couldn't go 1 full minute without trying to stratch, move a bit, change my stance, anything to try and stop the pain.

So here I am, the next morning...in pain. Lots and lots of pain. My legs are incredibly sore and my back is stiff as a board. I, literally, can barely walk or sit up straight. I've been awake since 11am and just got out of bed about a half hour ago. I've done and been through a lot of physical strain (not for awhile though), and have never felt this sore.

I'm getting too old for this. No more concerts without seats...

I hope your friend is hot.

And yeah, just listening to you describe the day makes my back a little sore. I don't mind standing for a concert, but I definitely want to be able to sit through the boring openers.

Yes, she is. And yes, before the obvious next question comes, I did get a "thank you" afterwards. So it wasn't all bad.

Couple of random thoughts...

While on the boardwalk, I saw a guy who I almost thought was Pumpy. He was a skinny black guy wearing a bright orange Elway jersey. However, the hat was missing, so I knew it wasn't him.

At one point during the concert, there was this guy who had this chick all over him standing near us. This chick, wasn't just hot, she was SMOKING hot. Just incredible. And the guy was just some average dude. WTF did he do so right? Eh, she's probably a psycho...

When The Used was one, there was this couple near us that made out the entire time. There weren't just making out, there were face fucking. Now why would you pay so much for tickets and not even at least watch the band for some of the concert. You could have done that at home morons, money well spent there.

The House of Blues is in the Showboat. The Showboat casino did not impress me at all. If and when I start making any trips to AC to gamble, I doubt I end up in there.

Did I mention that the Hard Rock cafe sucks? Just wanted to make that clear. They didn't even have any hot waitresses. All were fat, ugly or fat and ugly.

I like some of The Used stuff. But they "sound" like they would probably suck live.

But yeah, I'm with you, I'm too old to listen to a whole CD anymore (except the stuff I really like) much less wade through a bunch of musicians at a bar hoping for a good set or two.

A lot of fun back in the day, however.

Good thinking about the guy you saw, sabotai. If I'm outside without a hat, I'm either at work or at a funeral. Good show!

Same here, except I wear a hat at work too.

I wore one at my last job, but I don't know if my next stop will let me.
