I went to the Squ...

I went to the Squarepusher show in Atlanta on Saturday. It was amazing, the best concert ever. It was also a really nice break from dick school and dick life. So much has happened this past month. I really don't know where to begin, but I'll write a tell-all sometime later tonight or this week. I feel really lazy right now.For now, I want everyone to enjoy 15 seconds of Tom playing the bass. I didn't speed the movie up, he's actually this fucking fast on bass. BTW- you need to d/l Quicktime movie if you don't have it...I think. I don't know. Or you might be able to see it with a Windows Media player too. Just click the "Squarepusher" link below, if nothing happens d/l Quicktime.Download Quicktime, it'll be quickSQUAREPUSHERAnyway, like I said, the concert was hot. We left to Atlanta Saturday afternoon around 12:30pm and got there at about 5:30pm. We went straight to Lenox Square Mall because I had nothing to wear to the show expect a "white trash, whore" top as Jeff first called it until he saw me in it later that night! Anyway, I bought a bunch of camisoles for the summer and a skirt to wear with my whore halter top. Then we ate at Panera and left for the show. The show started at 10pm, which was about the time we finally left the mall. While driving to the club, I was changing in the back seat with a blanket over me. After I was done changing we stopped at a red light and there was a guy next to us on our right, late 20's, early 30's, with short brown hair and he was driving a cuties small convertible...well, Jeff was looking at some poster at a bus stop to his right when this guy just STARES the hell out of my Jeffrey. It was so fucking funny!! I kept telling Jeff that guy was checking him out and Jeff replied in an ambivalent/ sort of mad tone (because he knew I would tease him about this forever), "Yes, I know." I, of course, teased him about this the whole night. But it's pretty cool knowing that guys think my Jeff is hot. We got to the show at 10:30pm and some guy was deejaying, I didn't like it very much. And since no one was really paying attention we advanced to the center of the dancefloor. A little later these two Brits, known as Cassetteboy came on the stage and did their little act. They don't really play music, they just edit speeches and songs and make them funny/explicit. Check it outCassetteboyThen some DJ Johnny or someone came out (there was a rumor going around that this was Aphex Twin, yeah right), but his set got long and boring, but by this time we were standing one person behind the front center of the stage. And there was a little space perfect for the two of us ahead of this guy who was standing far back because some guy was smoking in front of him so we just pushed him out of the way. Then Squarepusher came out wearing a nice light brown button up shirt that matched the color of his hair. He greeted everyone, thanked them, and started playing. The first half of his set was him playing his bass. He was so fucking good, his shirt was completely soaked with sweat by the end of the first song! Anwyay, afterwards he played a bunch of tracks from his latest album then one from his EP that came out a few months ago and one song from Do you know Squarepusher? Then he left and came back and played, of course, "Come on my selector" and the song after that (which I always forget the name of) on that same album. It was a great show, me and Jeff danced a lot and I wasn't even drunk!Tom, the most psychotic picture of him I tookThe show ended at 3am, but we stayed inside the club until they kicked us out because we wanted to get Tom's autograph. So we waited outside sort of far from his tour bus just because I didn't feel like talking to the other kids there waiting for him and he came out from the back of the club, just where we were standing! So since no one was around I politely asked him if he could sign our cd. He said "Yes, I'll sign it..." and then maybe something else I don't know but he kept on walking to his tour bus, unnoticed. We were so anxious we waited out right in front of the door of his tour bus. We waited a few minutes and then he opened the door and saw us right there and a few other people behind us and exclaimed, "For fuck's sake, I'm not a rock star!" I felt so embarrassed and scared! After he signed Jeff's cd, Jeff thanked him and we left immediately. That's when I realized, no shit, that's why he had changed clothes and put on a beanie so that no on would notice him walking towards us. Oh well. At least we met his psychotic Welsh ass.Us waiting for Tom outside. Some hobo walking by shouted, "Aw, now isn't that a Kodak moment." So, Jeff literally made it one.Jeff drove for an hour until he couldn't anymore and we stayed at some hotel until the next morning. But before we got to Tallahassee we stopped at Thomasville, Ga and wasted time parked next to the "Big Oak." After I humped it, we deemed it lame and went home shortly after. My blurry humpface. You don't want to see the rest, believe me.It was a good weekend.
