This is just a story about my weekend off of work with my girlfriend and best friend. I will post some pictures as my girlfriend emails them to me.
First we drove 10 hours to Dallas and were close to the front of the line before they announced that ages 21+ would form a separate line and receive entrance to the venue 5 minutes before everyone else. Utter bullshit if you ask me as my girlfriend and I are 19 and 20. As walking back to the car to drop off a sweater we saw Boz out back eating a fruit plate. We were about 4 people deep in line and waited hours just to be pushed around. We got to hear Last of the Famous International Playboys! I did get some good video clips as well as Jesse's pick a gift from my friend who also got the cuff of Moz' shirt (he is 21 and got to be up front).
Next day we drove to the backyard in Austin and saw many people standing in line at the front gate completely unaware of the back gate that would open at the same time so we took this opportunity to get a bite to eat. Right across the street I saw Boz and Mikey walking in the parking lot of Old Navy and caught Boz shopping for boxers. He asked if he should get the ones with the octopus on it and mentioned how Moz wouldn't be caught dead in Old Navy. After a few pictures and autographs later we went back to the back gate Jesse Tobias walked back and greeted us all and took some pictures. I figured that not many moz fans knew about the back gate at the backyard but I figured it was karma for the night before as well as shame on those who didn't go to modest mouse and see Johnny play. So we all got to be right against the barricade, shook Moz' hand and he even accepted my bracelet during the Queen is Dead. During the encore my friend jumped on stage and received a hug from Moz. He moved International Playboy to the 3rd song and subbed Lucky Lisp instead of Girlfriend in a Coma
Last day of our stint we showed up in Houston extra early and hung out next to Abrahan and some other annoying guy that thought he could sing and dance just like Morrissey and annoyed the hell out of me for about 5 hours straight telling us how he liked Morrissey when we were born and such is the usual holier than thou crap. The show was even better than the night before seeing as we got front and center again, autographs from Kristeen and Jeff, Moz' complete shirt, then hugs and autographs from Andy Rourke as he was getting out of his car to DJ the bar next to the venue. We got to hear the new song That's How People Grow Up instead of All You Need is Me, please please, please and Girlfriend instead of Plea to guilty and lucky lisp.
Over all it was the best 3 days of out entire lives. And the shirt smells heavenly(minus the armpits).
