entry:

Alright, so I know I saw Mindless Self Indulgence only like eight months ago....but I wanted to go again so all my friends who wanted to see them but couldn't would get to this time. In fact, it was in the same venue. It had the exact same line-up with a difference of one band. It was on the same day of the month....but in a different month.  Now, originally I was going to go with Chris Golding....but he had to go to FSU just a few days before the show. So, then it was official that I was going with Brian Hession. Alena was going to come with us. I bought her damn ticket and everything but then her dad wouldn't let her go. So, that was depressing. Then I had to sell her ticket. I had three potential candidates: Heather Schoemocker, Lien Nguyen, & Justin (Brian's friend). Lien was the lucky winner.....friends before acquaintances. So, it was the first summer after twelfth grade. It was on 6/23/6. So, Dan Grant calles me up saying he wants to see his girlfriend, Cassie. So, Brian, who's pimpin the mom-mobile now, picks me up at two in the afternoon. We go pick up Dan. Then we stop by the Korans' house, cause that's where Lien is living. I got outside the van to give her the ticket. Dan and Brian are in the van carrying on about how hot she is. So, I talked to her for a little, blah blah blah. Gave her the ticket, which is for her driver who is yet to give me the money. So, then we head to DT @ the G (Down Town at the Gardens for those of you unhip honkies). Cassie was there with their friends: Ciarra, Mike, & Tommy Newport. We hung out in Cobb Theaters and watched them play DDR. Brian went to Publix to cash in some checks. Then the rest of us went to URBAN OUTFITTERS. It really wasn't very fun at all, but I was just tryin to help a brotha out. So, then Cassie, Ciarra, & Mike had to go home. Me, Dan, & Tom went to STARBUCK'S. Brian showed up. We took them to the Gardens Mall. Then we hit I95. I had equipped the mom-mobile with my two-liter of Mountain Dew that I had got at WAL*MART at like 3 in the morning the other night on one of me, Dan, & Brian's stay up all night adventures where we do retarded things and go weird places...and of course the mom-mobile was also equipped with my iPod which I had on shuffle the whole time. So, we stopped at 711, just like the MSI song, to get gas. We parked across the street from the REVOLUTION. We walked around downtown, Ft. Lauderdale to get something to eat. We went to this pizza parlor run by Italians. It was really good. So, then we went inside the venue. Retards in costumes everywhere. We get in and I run into Efferon and Thrin, the friends of Beth and Sky that I met at the last MSI show. They informed me that Retard o Bot cancelled. GREAT! WHAT THE FUCK! LAST TIME I MISSED THEM AND THIS TIME THEY CANCEL! MOTHER FUCKERS! So, we had to sit around for an hour of nothing. So me and Brian and Efferon and Thrin went out onto the balcony on the outside of the venue. We sat on the chairs there. So, for some reason we all traded off lines from Bring the Pain in formal and questioning voices almost. It was really cool. If you had been there, you probably would have though we were on the Mr. Rogers show doing the Bring the Pain. I was upset to find out that the fig tree that Beth and Sky had me steal from HOME DEPOT for Thrin's birthday never made it to her. Anyway, eventually KILL HANNAH came on, just as they are in pictures too, all guys that look like girls. Me and Brian watched them from the middle floor. They were good. All I remember about their set is that they opened with Boys and Girls and closed with Kennedy. Alex Schmit found me during their set. It had never run into her at a show before. After KILL HANNAH I ran into Corey Hill. So, me, Brian, Alex, and her friend made our way down to the bottom floor. This is why it was better than last time. Last time I watched them from the upper level balcony. Now I was down in the middle of the energy. I had Alex tie my hair up in a bun. That was a good idea Alena provided at Kristmas Chaos. I will use it from now on. Mindless Self Indulgence finally got on. They opened with Shut Me Up. A pit instantly opened and we were all seperated. Wonderful. I was caught in the pit. Fun, though. I ran into Thrin in there. Somehow I got pushed into the back of the floor section. It was very cool and spacious and comfortable back there, strangely. Eventually, I was just like fuck this, I wanna don't wanna be dancin and actin stupid by myself. So, I went back into the pit and dance weird with Thrin for the rest of the night. I booty danced on her at one point. That was fun. They played at least the following songs (not in order): Bring the Pain, Diabolical, Molly, Tornado, Pussy All Night, Backmask, Bitches, Clarissa, Faggot, I Hate Jimmy Page, Kill the Rock, Planet of the Apes, Thank God, Wack, Shut Me Up, Straight to Video, What Do They Know?, Stupid MF, & Pay For It. They were pretty much all wearing the same stuff they wore last time. This time Jimmy Urine's trench coat thing said "BACK IN 5 MIN" on the back of it. He had his hair in mohawk. His tie had a cross on it. That was pretty much the only difference. The other differences didn't matter. He was real funny that night. He made fun of all his fans. He was like "Hey all you individuals! You think for yourselves. You're individuals. You dress like m, you're so unique, you individuals. Everyone do this," and he just raised arm and everyone in the audience did so and he was like "Look at them think for themselves." Once again, he was climbing all over the venu. He was walking on the rail of the middle floor at one point, and on the cue of a beat he feel into the audience on the bottom floor and everyone went crazy crowd surfing him around. At one point he was like "Man, if we all died tonight HOT TOPIC would go out of business." At another point he was like "You know the problem is.......you guys are too nice. You like everything. You guys are all psyched cause the Fall Out Boy show sold out," and someone corrected him and he was like "Oh, PANIC! AT THE DISCO big fuckin difference." At another point he was like "The reason I'm not successful is because I don't wear enough eyeliner," then he took out a black marker and scribbled all under one of his eyes and was like "There. Now I am ready for MTV." I brought out the stuffed Wolfy on stage again and played with him. He tried to kick it and it didn't go too far so everyone laughed at him, and he was like "Shut the fuck up, it's not like any of you gothic pussies play sports." There was one part where the crowd had to choose what type of song they were going to play next, by selecting which alcoholic beverage Jimmy was going to drink. Of course the crowd chose to mix it. There was another little game we played where when he would point to one side of the floor, everyone makes a guy moaning noise. He points to the othe half and they make a girl moaning noise. He points to the upper level and they go "Who's yo daddy!" At another point he was like "There is definitely a class system here. There's the surfs (points at us on the floor), the merchants (points at the middle floor) and the upper class (and points at the upper level). Now, upper class, do what you do and spit on the surfs," and so we got spat on. We really got spat on. Then he was like "What's that, I hear a rebellion coming along." The way they did their cover of METHOD MAN's Bring the Pain was much more satisfying than last time. Steve and Lynz left the stage. It was just Jimmy talkin to us and Kittie sittin at the drums. He goes "We are going to resurrect the East Coast West Coast War. If you see a guy in a 2pac shirt walkin down the street, you punch that mother fucker in the face and you say 'the ghost of Biggie Smalls told me to do it'. I know how you white kids roll" and then he started rapping Bring the Pain.........which is a West Coast song, but anyways. It was just him doing the words with no instruments until he got the chorus and then Steve and LynZ came back on stage and they played the rest of the song how it should be played. Jimyy took a cigarette break on stage, that was funny. The encore was I Hate Jimmy Page and he sprayed syrup on everyone. After the show, me and Brian went back to 711 and I got a one-liter of Mountain Dew and a bag of Salt n' Vinegar chips. Then we drove home. I got home and talked to Alena. She wasn't doing to well. Blah blah blah. It was a good night for me though. I wish it could have been for everyone else.
