Hey! I Saw You At The Show Last Night!

Maybe I did... Maybe I didn't. Either way, I went to Flogging Molly with the beau last night. He was terrified of his sweet little Karlykins getting crushed. I held my own fairly well, if I do say so myself. FM was incredible live! Very enegergitic and funny. Definately on my "to see again" list. Alex has seen them 4 times. The whole time I was against the barricade or right behind someone. The pits were crazy. Alex was directly behind me and kept getting nearly sucked in. Got crushed many times, kicked in the face by a crowdsurfer, had to keep pushing a guy twice my size out of my way, and came home with about 20 different people's sweat on me. Yuck.

It's all the punk show experience I suppose. There are a series of unsaid rules that one should abide by though:
~Girls take care of girls
~Don't get sucked into a pit, your'e paying good money to get beat up?
~Protect your lungs to avoid passing out
~Don't give up your coveted spot. You waited in line for 2 hours! You snooze, you lose
~Crowdsurfing is dumb, don't do it
~Enjoy!

The opening bands were great too. Fitz & The Tantrums and Hepcat. Neither of which are my first pick for openers for an Irish punk band but still pretty great. I highly suggest that you check them both out:

Your Feet Will Thank You

Just what the world needed. A fur rug hot glued to Burkenstocks. Fur processing creates an untold amount of pollution(not to mention the cruelty, my little hippie friends.

Now Even Fluffy Can Be Crockin'!

*drawn out sigh* Seriously? Only a true crazy cat lady would match her cats bed to her own hideous shoes.

Pshhh... Baby ride

My aunt and I rode this in Vegas. It's not nearly as scary as it looks. Much more mellow than the swing ride at Lagoon! It's even better at night. If you do one thing in Vegas(besides going the Liberace museum) ride this!

To my dearest Alex
