Yesterday (Saturday) Alex and Oi Kelly (known collectively as Kaelex) came down to pick me up, and waited at Diedrichs off La Paz for me to return from the wilderness creek-bed I was in at the time (true story). Unfortunately I was about an hour's hike from civilization.
Anyway, then we headed up to see their friends in The Something play at Corona Showcase (33.5 miles north by mapquest, up in "the 909"). Show was good, I really liked The Something even though apparently the sound guy did a terrible job. I'd like to try to get them up to Davis, I'm gonna try to get a demo and float it around the entertainment council. Y'all should check them out.
Anyway, so thing is this girl up front starts mad heckling the lead singer, Ryan. And seriously I don't know what her deal is cause she's front and center and was taking pictures of him earlier but she thinks she needs to heckle him? So he puts the mike in front of her so everyone can hear her stream of profanity.. but she yanks the cord out and breaks the mike! Sound guy pulls then pulls their plug and the band gets kicked out.
Sound guy is convinced THEY broke it by throwing it at the floor, even though we have mad witnesses and cords don't get pulled out by throwing things at floors anyway. Ryan and Sound Guy almost get in a fight, Sound Guy saying "you don't know who I am!! Ryan: "well who the hell are you then?" Sound Guy: "I don't have time for this shit" and storms off.
So then Oi Kelly hunts down the girl that pulled the plug, and finds her; in the boys restroom smoking pot with her boyfriend and girliefriends. So Oi Kelly confronts her and of course she's utterly unsympathetic and remorseless - so Oi Kelly hella bitchslaps her, and a fight ensues. Girl mad scratches Kelly, and the boyfriend gets involved, and then the bouncer breaks it up.
But man did that girl scratch. What a biatch. Kelly got a good kick in at the girl's crotch -- if she were a boy she's be done.
Then Kaelex, Ryan the lead singer and I went back to Diedrichs off La Paz. There we got ice for Kelly's scratches, and her neck was hurting from whiplash or something. Kaelex and Ryan the lead singer bonded with Ryan the Diedrichs employee, and I went to get alcohol for Ryan (RtLS); "what do you want?" "I don't know, a 40 of something cheap" "Steel reserve it is then - its the house drink."
And I got myself another bottle of cisco. Man, that stuff tastes aweful - but it gets you drunk MAD fast, and doesn't make you sick. Drunk off steel = getting sick, unfortunately.
