Being treated to a concert ticket, 2 $7 beers, tiny T-shirt: Rule! Times Square Nokia Theater: Horrifying. 21+ shows: Everyone is bigger than me. Men with arm tattoos: They're so dreamy! Mosh pit full of fat people from New Jersey: Like being trapped in an angry bowl of Jello. 200 (non-racist) skinheads sweating all over my last pair of clean blue jeans: Lame the next day, when you need pants. Not getting a black eye: Rule! Elbow to face, bloody nose, bloody T-shirt: Good way to terrify the tourists riding the A train at midnight. Bruised elbows, bruised jaw, pulled shoulder muscle, whiplash: ...perhaps a sign that I'm getting too old for this. Boyfriend who understands concert-related injuries, and won't hold them against me: Rule! |
