Adult website propositions, endless drummers, and a general good time

(this is long, but stick with it, its totally worth it with both stories)

So I had almost made it to the end of friday night without anything totally ridiculous happening---when I went to the bar to buy another beer. This guy two over from me leans around to take a picture of my ass. I figure ok, dont make a scene, your underwear (for once) isnt showing, and he wont get your face in it too so whats the harm. He takes the picture then walks around to talk to me, he shows me the picture, then shows me he deletes it because he tells me he can take better of me. Ummmm ok.....He's got me hooked, i'm totally interested to see what he's going to say next. "I run an adult website" he says "you are probably already myspace friends with us". WHAT? yeah, i made the bartender give me a pen at this time to write down his site...pickle pimpin productions at myspace.... At this point a friend I'd made earlier in the night realizes i'm a little weirded out and comes over and puts his arm around me. The adult site guy says "oh, I dont do couple stuff, just you"...I excuse myself to go to the bathroom. Later in the night as I'm closing my tab and Tristan is waiting for me he corners tristan and starts telling her that he thinks he's freaked me out...REALLY? what gave you that idea? i have adult site guys approach me all the time! wtf!

Sat I had lunch with some fairly new found cousins in rockville, that was fun.

Sat night Leslie and I drove to Baltimore to see Brand New at the Ram's Head Tavern. We went with this chick, Tara, who evidently books all acts for all ram's head's and She got us into the sold out show vip style...open bar and everything.

I had been talking about going to this show for months, but It wasn't until a couple days before that Leslie got on the same page as me, and once the show began she was very glad she made that decision.

The opening band--Kevin Divine--was amusing, they had 7 drummers and 5 stringed instrument people, and then random other people standing around stage doing random things like tambourine, or checking cell phone. leslie leaned over to me and said "well they've really set the bar high, I dont know if I can ever be impressed with a band that has less than 7 drummers"

Brand New came out, I have seen them twice before and the last time I saw them I wasnt impressed. This time was a totally different story, they were hands down the best I've ever seen them (i'll probably add a fuller blog to my myspace page later on). They were great...except one thing...they only had one drummer. Well towards the end of the show one of the drummers from the previous band came out to join him on the already set up second full drum set. We were mildly impressed. Then it was time for the Encour. Every drummer in the baltimore area suddenly appeared on stage carrying random parts of drum sets onto the stage. I lost count at 14 drummers! All the while there were still 5 stringed instruments, and one tambourine player. This was pure CHAOS. it sounded awesome. Then people started doing running jumps into the various drum sets. The stringed men walked off stage. The drummed men left. one man was still on stage, he took appart the synthesizer so he could take one of the two previously attached keyboards with him to continue playing as he left the stage. The show was now over and my mind was blown. THIS SHOW WAS AWESOME

Sunday Ended at Irish times to watch the last Redsox Yankees game of the series---SWEPT EM!
