and the beast comes alive

i just went to one of the best live shows ive ever been to tonight. a few weeks ago my friends were raving about this band called "nothing more" that they went and saw. one of them actually saw the band two nights in a row. these guys are very talented and they also know how to put on a good and energetic show. it was pretty amazing. such energy for such a small little venue made me feel like family. it was a very audience friendly/interactive show when you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the band as a whole does not take themselves too seriously, but instead want to have fun and want you to be a part of it every step of the way. this, however, cannot be said of the band after them. they looked like a metal band, sounded more brit pop or something... i dont even know, but the best part was the lead singer convulsing on stage (for those of you Pdubs from last summer, think of lance only this guy was serious). during a longer musical interlude of one of the songs he was actually on the floor writhing on his back.

after about 10 mintues of that we went and hung out in nothing mores RV. good times. i now have a new appreciation for doritos salsa chips and for people who try too hard. i also got a free shirt out of it. then we hit up dennys for about 4 hours. take that nacogdoches... a place where not only good venues exist, but a place where ihop and dennys can co-exist happily within 2 blocks of each other. tonight also made me wish i had a good, legit reason to leave school with recless abandon for the sake of something like a blossoming musical career or something like that. i would prefer not having to finish college if i could help it right now, but thats just me being honest.
