Lost in the Flood
Last Friday night I went to see my sister’s baby’s daddy’s band, LOST IN THE FLOOD. It was one of those last minute decisions; like I had known about it weeks before hand but as the time approached I was feeling more and more reluctant to go. So I ended up going. It was at The Silo in Reading, PA, and somehow I knew how to get there having never been there in my before, ever.
One of the guitarists, who left before everyone else in the caravan of cars, got lost on the way and did not end up getting there until about 10 minutes before the performance. In the meantime while all the equipment was being set up I was hanging around with my sister and her friend. A security guard was walking around looking at people’s hands to make sure there were supposed to me inside and not waiting outside to have to pay to get in. I was never officially on the guest list so I never said anything when he came by. They did and I guess he took that as an all clear and moved on. So I was happy I did not have to pay the $9 cover. I found a sharpie and marked my own hand and then I ended up drinking my entrance fee instead.
We stayed for most of the bands; there were 4 in total I think. We left soon after that last band started to play. At that point all of the band members and a few other people followed a guy named Mushmouth to his apartment. Soon afterward, more alcohol was consumed and weed was smoked by most. I ended up commenting on a girl’s background image on her laptop and got into an anime conversation for the better part of about 2 hours. I don’t know her name, or even how old she was but it didn’t really matter. Everyone else was in another room smoking and there I was trying desperately to hold my own with a real anime fan, like Otakon patron. I think things went well, I mean she did not seem like she wanted to get away from me since I could not match her skills. I might run into her again someday, I guess that would depend if I go to anymore performances.
I gonna try to get my sister to hook me up with some free shirts since she makes them. I might even try to get her to pay me to design a few. I have an advertisement card I made but I don’t think they are going to use it as such. Maybe I can recoup that as a shirt design.
