Comments: Tea Party, Take Two.

Tea Party, take two...tee..hee... I wasn't 'not impressed' like you said, when you went to the front. I actually thought it was pretty cool. I just didn't want to be pulled up to the front wearing sandals, with all that broken glass. Also, being a "short" person (compared) to you, I like to stay where I can sort of see at least part of the lead singer's head ;-), and I thought I had a prime spot, so yes, I was staying put!

Two minute penalty for improper use (of) brackets!

pssh... you're a wimp, calvin... you're supposed to put your girl on your shoulders and then get both of you over the sea of broken glass and to the front of the stage... that way, carole still gets a good view and all of her little piggies remain unbloodied...

also, i never thought breaking into a cover during the bridge of your song was cheezy... i think it's kinda cool... like in "sunshine of your love" when clapton solos the opening phrases of "blue moon"... that's wicked...

I offered no less than three times to put Carole on my shoulders - hell, I've still got stitches, but I offered... she didn't wanna.
And by cheezy, I meant "typical rock cliche" - which is something that generally, Tea Party is NOT... but they did it anyway. Naw, it was cool, but I kinda sigh dissapointedly when bands stoop to the 'cliche' level...

Tee hee... little piggies...
And sorry about the horribly improper use of brackets. The line was suppose to read - 'being a short person (compared to you)....
OOPS. SO sue me. =)
About the shoulder ride thing - Calvin is such a big guy, I would feel too much like a world trade tower.

as much i as i am suprised that the tea party was rawkin and that you attended the show.... i'm impressed that carole dared to wear sandals? WTF? you don't go to a rock show with out foot protection....

and getting to the gate is small fries calvin.... i'm suprised you are mentioning it like it's your first time.... .... i remember having gate marks from my first commadore show.... back with the old tires... and pantera with white zombie with andy my friehd who hiked out to Van to see taht show with me.... that story will never get old... we got there and i said you want to get to the first row.... he said ya... welll i said.... hang on to my coat and don't let go
and away we went... we encountered 3 mosh pits... and that was some hard core pits... and i got him to 2nd... that the front row to me unless i get there before the crowd.... and or no one is throwin punches for their place.... which i've seen.... and it ain't cool.... i won't swoop... but i will muscle as far as i can.... and 2nd row ain't hard.... if you got 1st row either you were rude or sweet talked someone into giving up their spot some what to accomidate your invasional occupancy....

but i "digress" heh... "i" dont want to be a "negative" downer on "your" parade..... you "know" me.... i like to rant on a spitefull laugh.... i mean no harm.... it's all good.... "it's all good".... hey calvin.... i might actually be fatter than you.... weird eh.... i miss you guys and i wish we was all as it was...

Yeah, I know...(about the sandals thing). My excuse is, that it was a super hot day, and believe it or not, the last time I saw The Tea Party, the crowd was super tame, so I thought I could get away with it....Obviousely not!
And I thought, at my age (since I'm so OLD ;-), I wasn't going to go into the pit....but when the music started, I was inspired. =)
