Ok, so last night. I drank four Dogfish Heads in an hour on an empty stomach and was feeling like such a champ. Then smashed the wife and a dab and took four 10mg caps, and she did as well.
Show was supposed to start at 6:30, we left about 5:45. The place isn't that far away, less than half hour. But as we hit the road I decide to check with Google maps for traffic, but I think it hadn't updated my location yet from where I was when I used it earlier. So I tell the old lady to whip it around and let's hit the interstate! And then I check it again after we're on the freeway and we're now 50minutes from the venue. Just terrible management by me.
So we arrive at 7:10, this place is out in the boondocks, and parking is a huge grass field. Capacity of the amphitheater is 20,000, so big crowds to deal with. I can hear the female vocalist of In This Moment as her words ring out across the area. I'm pretty ****ed at this point, feeling solid in spite of how late we are. I've been nursing the vape pen throughout the drive.
As I said this place is out in the boondocks, and the tickets are through stubhub. Well cell service is not working and I absolutely can't pull the tickets up, so we have to purchase more tickets. Pretty unreal. We get inside and I get something that looks like a weiner wrap, but the casing is entirely potato, and it's covered in chili and cheese. Hit the spot. At this point the first group ends, which is disappointing because they've got a few jams that I hear on Octane (Sirius) that I really like.
We're standing at the front of the lawn general admission area, and the place is huge as we're probably 100 yards from the stage.
After about twenty minutes, Korn takes the stage, and my capsules are kicking in. The crowd starts to fill in.
I am absolutely tripping balls over the individuals in the crowd. All sorts of different white people. Seattle is a real melting pot, but I'm sure the crowd was at least 99% white. Some sick looking mother****ers. American History X type stuff. And I'm absolutely blown away by it all. Don't think I could have handled any LSD or Shrooms in addition.
All day I had been kinda feeling like Randy Marsh in the episode where he just wants to fight other dads at the little league games. I thought I might like to get in there and rough some bros up! But there were some seriously tough customers in the mosh! No ****ing way I could handle myself in there, and I'm a big dude. I'm really a pussy, though I don't know that's apparent just by looking at me.
Looking around at the crowd, they were all tough customers! What really amazed me, is that those people are all my neighbors, but I don't even see them at the grocery store. Incidentally earlier in the day I was thinking about how absolutely awful the average person that is at a grocery store looks, employees andcustomers. What are all these angry skinheads with face tattoos doing 9 to 5? I was more watching the crowd than Korn on stage, but it provided a great soundtrack to all my thoughts. Watching the bros down in the mosh, I was thinking up back stories and assigning attributes to each one, as if it was a fighting game.
Overall, me and my gal had a great time, and it definitely provided me with the unusual psychological experience that I crave. The underlayer of the THC caps proved so incredibly clutch.
