boston.

[stucky]

I was running late to the show after picking up a friend.  I was in such a rush that I dove in through the first door I thought was the Avalon's (it had tour buses in front of it) and some fairly mellow band was up on stage and I'm thinking, "whoa, the avalon redecorated.  Wasn't there a bar on both sides?"

So after a couple songs the lead singer on stage is talking and he motions to the [stage] left and says, "Hey, I bet if we put a mic up against the wall we could just listen to the jacket all night."

HOLY SHIT I'M IN THE WRONG PLACE

The coat check girl was real helpful and pointed out the head security dude for the Axis (which is where I accidentally went.  You'd think the guy who took my tickets might have noticed they said MY MORNING JACKET on them).

Head security dude totally hooked up my date and I.  He opens a door in the back and sends us through.  We come out into the Avalon practically on stage.  The guitar tech looked up at us as we came through and made our way to the edge right up front.

I came in during "What a Wonderful Man" while Jim was tearing it up on his 12 string electric.  The rest of the show was just amazing.  I called out for Tyrone, but no such luck.

hahahhahahahhahahhahahhhhahahhahahahhahahhahahhhhahahhahahahhahahhahahhhhahahhahahahhahahhahahhhhahahhahahahhahahhahahhhhahahhahahahhahahhahahhhhahahhahahahhahahhahahhh

sorry;
i'm not laughing at you...
i don't know why they decided to do those two venues right next to eachother... when i went to animal collective, there was some scrEMO band playing next door, totally ruining the animal collective atmosphere...

same happened at belle and sebastian, and sonic youth.

it's just sort of stupid.

boston sounds like so much fun...

yeah buuuddy--come get pee'd on  ;)

[CTdeadhead]

Lebowski had carpeter Pee-ers, weve got avalon pee-ers.

I'll have to side with the pee'e on this one. I can't side with anyone (no matter how rich or ultra cool they appear to be, the fact that he's rich is persuasive...) who thinks pissing on the floor is accecptable. I have trouble with some folks here at work that don't wash their hands or flush the toilet at all, hell, there's even a guy here that insists that talking on the phone and moving his bowels is a step towards multitasking perfection!
Those things aside... pissing on the floor at a concert takes the cake (urinal cake that is)

Big thumbs down peckerhead, make it to the bathroom or just piss in your cup and redrink it next time. Oh, and find another band to like. Better yet moneybags, go buy yourself some candy and start a boy band.

I'm going to have to side with the pee'er on this one.  You don't get to see MMJ everyday and when you get your chance you can't let a little thing like your blatter get in the way.  Plus, it's not like he peed on the guys face, I mean the "pee'e" probably got pee on his shoe just walking around in the bathroom anyway.  It sounds like the pee'er went out of his way to compensate the poor guy, it's clear he has class.....and a story to tell his grandkids!          

[jjjameson]

Half the crowd should have been peed on.  I've never seen so many 20 something's not drinking and not having fun at a rock show.  Everyone was just stading there,  like a bunch of zombies.  This isn't the pops show where you have to stay seated.  Dance around, get into the music... it's okay to have fun kids.

i think they were all too stoned to do much of anything   :-/

[ycartrob]

how was the cigarette smoke?

[heartbreakinwoman]

i actually didn't smell any cigarette smoke. just pot. this moron next to me lit up during the split and he was arrested within like 30 seconds...last year people were rippin butts left and right.

[starry]

ripping butts at the Avalon? i can't see it - wouldn't you get tossed in like two seconds?

I just saw good stuff - i was stage right, just back from the floor where it steps up. Everyone into it, everyone cool, no ass clows, sound was great. Good concert "experience."

Wait i may be way out of it, but that person that posted wasn't really the pee-er, was it?  "urine the way..." awesome.

I give in, the pee-er is just too much for me. The guy who becomes literally piss drunk at a show he's at all by himself is probably richer than f-ing God, so who am I to think that he's not also at least as honest? His story is airtight - we all know the direct relationship between public urination and wealth/classiness/not being a douche.

But actually, I'm pretty doubtful it's the same guy because a) the real pee-er obviously had balls (I don't deny that it requires a pair to take a piss in the middle of the Avalon) whereas the best this poster can do is say something about "creative fiction" and community college, and b) the parts of my story he tried to elaborate on were pretty far off the mark.....either he was far too drunk to remember anything about that night (quite possible) or that "urine my way" punchline was just too much to pass up for someone reading this thread.

Or two pee-ers? ???

[sweatboard]

"Or two pee-ers?  "

I knew it!!  A CONSPIRACY!!!!  

[jjjameson]

The pee-er was not alone that night.  I and nine other people all came to the show w/ pee-er in a very 80's style limo.  Kfed's side of the story sounds false to me, since I got the story from pee-er right after the show.  In fact it was right after kfed was still complaining to pee-er outside by the sausage guy.  Kfed, maybe you will be better off at a Dave Matthews show.  That crowd seems to be about your speed.

These characters belong in a Tarentino movie...
