Nice. Say hi if you see me - I'm probably going to get as close as I can for this one. And I'm definitely going to be there for the opener.

Fucking Animal Collective man. What a show. Also, I got my Merriweather Post Pavillion signed by all of them aside from Panda Bear who I just BARELY missed. Also, Geno is my new favorite boarder because he FUCKING LIFTED ME UP TO CROWD SURF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. Bucket list, dude. I don't think you realize how huge that was for me. Unlike that crowd who definitely realized how huge I was for me. I never crowdsurfed either. Lol.

The only time in my life I crowdsurfed was to Buckcherry. Clearly I'm the winner here. Fuckcherry? My first time crowdsurfing was at Blues Traveler. I know what you're thinking, "why would anyone crowdsurf at Blues Traveler." Yeah.

I am not sure if I have heard that Fireflies song or not and I will stop the Owl City talk but thanks. I just listened to Fireflies for the first time. I thankfully missed its popularity. However, his new song "It's Always A Good Time," is impossible to avoid. It's the one where he goes, "Woah oh woah oh, oh oh oh oh," about four times, then says "it's always a good time," then says "Woah oh woah oh, oh oh oh oh," and the formula repeats for three minutes. There is a girl who helps sing the "Woah oh woah oh" part, and autotune helps him sing the "oh oh oh oh." part. I don't recall which network, but the NFL has been using it in their intros or promos. Like I said, impossible to avoid.

I gave up on that crowdsurfing dream a long time ago. I did too until I saw Animal Collective with Geno. I jokingly remarked before the show about wanting to do it for the first time, and then I ran into him in the pit and he immediately rallied another dude to make it happen. The second lifter was hesitant, but Geno insisted like a badass. What a dude.

Yea I rounded out at 220 during my Warped/Ozzfest years. It really isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you're a big guy at a concert.

Haha shit. I bet the kids who caught both the SEA and PDX shows are kind of pissed about that. Not pissed at all. The second show -- sorry to say this Souly, but I gotta -- was waaaay better than the first. For some reason, knowing exactly which song would be next enhanced my enjoyment and my overall appreciation for the set as a whole. Other notes: -The Crystal is much smaller than the Paramount, and more than half of their stage set-up was missing from the show in Portland. The top row of teeth and two of the arches apparently wouldn't fit on stage at the Crystal, so to make up for it they projected the visuals that would have been on those pieces of the set onto the ceiling. Also to make up for it, the band -- as far as I could tell -- lit themselves on fucking fire and performed the set as actual demons from hell. -Finding the beat to 'Lion in a Coma' is literally impossible, which makes dancing to it NEARLY impossible. We managed, somehow. -Micachu & the Shapes fucking suck. Sorry Drew. I wanted to slap Micachu when I thought she was a seventeen year old boy, and I still wanted to slap her when I realized she is a twenty-five year old woman. Fuck that shit. -Highlight from the Seattle show: Monkey Riches -Highlight from the Portland Show: Amanita Holy shit dudes, it's been some kind of week. I am utterly exhausted. And I think I finally lost my little sunflower pipe once and for all. It's been a good ten years with that little fucker, may she rest in pieces and not be used by some random tweeker who found her on the bus probably.

I crowd-surfed at a Cake show. Anyone can crowd surf anywhere, as far as I'm concerned.

I've been groped at a concert, which is fairly similar as far as I can tell.
