entry:

WHAT A BAD ASS SHOW! This was the last show I went to in the first semester of tenth grade. I still remember the date... 12/10/2003 I got there at like three in the afternoon. I just caught the last song by Absolute Asylum which I recognized as "God". This was the first show displaying the new look of THE KELSEY CLUB. After chimaira came it gave them enough money to tare down the Kelsey Museum and use that as extra space for the club. So, in other words, the place was way bigger then it used to be.  I ran into Alex Ondina and I hung out with him for like the rest of the show. After the Calm came on next and they of course did great because they're cool like that. CysT cancelled. So me and Alex went outside to hang out till the next band came on. Then we ran into Bekka, yah! Next EVERSINCEVE came on and us three jammed out to them. Then I looked out the window after they were done and trembled at the sight of Dana. She was appearing as the most beautiful piece of the universe. (did I say that out loud? damnit!) I was so happy she wasn't mad at me anymore. So I went outside and she gave me a big hug. I know this irrelevant but a few minutes later I was sitting on the little metal holy bench tings they have outside and she came up and sat behind me and held me and bit my ear and it felt really good. Sorry, that's just a fond memory of mine, had to include it. So then 5 BILLION DEAD hit the stage and TORE THAT MOTHER FUCKER UP. Me and Alex were rockin our assess off up at the front, man. They finished their performance with a cover pack of KING DIAMOND, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DIO, and BIOHAZARD. Me and Alex were just so blown away by their performance. We decided we were thirsty so went to the gas station next door and he got a two-liter of Coke and I got a two-liter of Mountain Dew. How metal nad straight edge at the same time is that? So we we're hangin out and then al of a sudden you hear someone say "Gargamel!'s on in five minutes." So we walk in with our two-liter sodas and all of a sudden some guy grabs us and says "You guys can't bring those in." So we had to sit outside and chug our sodas in five minutes. The thing is, Alex is a big guy so he has a fast metabolism. I, on the other hand, don't. So I painfully drank the whole thing in under five minutes. Right after I finished chugging, Gargamel! hits the stage. Alex goes inside and I start puking my ass off. I mean, we're talking, puking Mountain Dew all over the place. Bekka had to hold my hair and stay with me cause she was a good friend like that. So in between one of their songs as I was outside trying to let my body stabilize, the singer of Gargamel! says "If you're not watching us then you're outside vomiting like a super model!" When I was ready, she walked me inside, and I still felt like shit but who cares, it was awesome. I didn't like Gargamel! because at the time I thought they were more about the jokes then the music. So then they finished and it was night time now. The place was now packed with INDORPHINE, one:, RESPONSE NEGATIVE, and Stillkept's entire fan bases. I ran into Chelsea and Caitlin, yah! And then I ran into my fuck buddy, Jamie, yah! And then INDORPHINE got on and everyone was like, "Yah!" Wow, everyone had been telling me how good they were for so long, and once I saw them in concert.... I THOUGHT THEY WERE RETARDED AND OVERRATED. Up next, was MIDST OF ZOOL. Even though nobody likes them, I love them. I think they're awesome. So Dana stood with and held my hand as I watched them. I was paying more attention to her though. I couldn't stop holding and kissing her. Anyways, MIDST OF ZOOL is one of those awesome stoner bands that are really fucked up and wear make-up. They kinda sound like TOOL. OLD FASHIONED BEATDOWN got on next and I don't really like them but Alex does so I watched them with him. The only thing I thought was cool about them was the fact that they had a giant inflatable Santa Clause on stage. one: got on next. The place erupted. They are by far the most popular local band in West Palm Beach by now. Everyone knew the words to all their songs. One second I'd be hangin with Dana and the next I'd be in the pit. It was funny. You'd see me (wearing all white again) run into one side of the huge mass of flesh and fly out from another side and in a totally different direction, it was funny as hell. RESPONSE NEGATIVE got on next and me Alex just had to stay up in the front. The whole time all the drunk twenty-year-old tough guys were screamin at the top of their lungs, "RESPONSE NEGATIVE." Me and Alex were all headbangin our asses off at the front of the stage and shit, and then singer would look at us be like, "I want all the headbangers and thrashers in front fuckin row!" He was screamin in everyone's face too. He was like "Do you want one more song or two more songs!" and everyone would be like "Two more songs!" and he'd be like "I CAN'T FUCKIN HERE YOU!" it was crazy as fuck. Stillkept came on next and the place erupted again. At the time I was just pissed at that band for being so overrated and really just being the biggest trend to hit the local scene. So I waited outside and basically laid down and died from all the left over stomach pain of soda chugging. Then Josh came by and told me I couldn't do that because the manager was there and she can't see shit like that. After they were finished everyone was outside getting ready to leave. Me and Jamie were pretending to fuck against Matt's car. It was the only way to keep warm when you're from south Florida and it's forty degrees outside. So then, more then half the people that were there left. Me and Alex went back inside to catch twitch and omg they were awesome. The best part was that they ended with a cover of Reign In Blood. Right when they hit the first note of that, me, Alex, and all the SLAYER fans were like "SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!" . My mom came to pick me up before whatserface got on to finish the show. I couldn't say goodbye to Dana cause she busy shoving her tongue down Heather's throat. :(..... anyways, that was the best local show I've been to in years.
