not this weekend, but last weekend
last weekend, chase and i went down, or west, to austin to see a band at emo's. it was a long drive, and we played 20 questions, which for some reason, i thought was 21 questions on the ride home. we got to austin at about 9 and went to my aunts house for a short while before going to emo's. the band we went to see was canada's aids wolf. chase and i had seen them before so we kind of knew what to expect, the loudest live music i'd ever heard. but my cousin, brian, whom we had picked up from my aunts house, had little idea as to what he was going to see. aids wolf started at about 1 after two other bands, the first of which was a two piece band that i have little to say about. the next band, was a trio, and they seemed to be a bad DNA rip off. aids wolf was next. i had talked to the singer, chloe, for a brief while before the second band, but she was preoccupied with talking with another person. when the band came out, the three males of the group were dressed in ghostbuster uniforms missing the emblems and when chloe came out shortly after, she was dressed as some sort of sequined robin hood, with a while line crossing her face and over her nose. the music started and it was pretty much what i expected, blasting, noisy, rockin' and rollin'. luckily, this time chase and i realized we needed to have some sort of ear protection this time so we wouldn't feel the blistering repercussions of full on aids wolf. the music was so intense and i felt comfort in the fast noisy music and danced as chloe terrorized 16 yr old boys in the crowd with her stage antics. after the music was done, chase and i were both really excited and went back to the merch table to see about t shirts and other things. again, i started conversation with chloe, i told her that chris said hi, and she blankly starred at me until i felt i should explain myself. she introduced herself and stuck out her hand, i grabbed it and introduced myself and she began gripping my hand tightly. early, when she was pushing the 16 yr olds around, i told myself that if she came towards me and tried anything, i would push her back, chase later told me he had made a similar deal with himself. so put in this situation, i decided to squeeze as tightly as i could and stare back at her. we got 3 shirts total and she threw in a couple of buttons. it was a really fun time.
