Alright on friday afternoon Madeline came to pick me and spacey up at my place in milford. We were heading down to Baltimore to meet up with Walsh and the crew for a post Bisco party before heading to Asbury Park for the show on Saturday.
We left milford at around 6pm and headed to Staven for supplies. After doing what needed to be done in Staven we headed southbound, with a stop at Utopia for road warpitz. The party in the car was confirmed and needed. After sitting in traffic and through an amazing lightening storm, we finally got to the house which was about 30min south of Baltimore at 2am. The party in the car was necessary in making the rough ride down. The house party was still raging. There must have been 20+ kids all over the place doing god knows what. We drank and hung out till about 7-8am..... A crazy crew indeed, but they were very welcoming to the 2 strangers (Spacey and I)
People started milling about at about 11am on Saturday morning. We hit the road and hit a dirty diner in Maryland. After realizing that we were still about 2+ hours away and it was like 2:30, we hit the road to Asbury Park. Getting to the show at about 5:30/almost 6ish we went right to will call. Spacey didnt have a ticket, but Walshys buddy who works at the stone poney got him in for free.....the will call line was stupid long but we walked in as the first song was starting...Funny how the kid with no ticket gets in first and for free....
The show. This was my 2nd disco biscuits show. They were tight and the sound was fantastic. Not knowing any of the tunes it was good to be with Walshy and the crew for updates and information. We were raging a nice spot by the bar with a great view of the stage. I respecet the Biscuits for their talent but its really not my thing... Little Lai, 7-11, Magellan, and Story of the World were my highlights because they were more like actual songs rather than just trancy jams..... It was a great night....I was rocking my Are You Ser? shirt and had a couple of kids come up to me asking me if I liked the Breakfast and that I should go to the puppet house next month....I just nodded my head and said, "oh yeah...I\'ll think about it"
The best part of the weekend for me was the hotel party after the show. Our room was ajoined to Allison (formerly of the Bill and Allison Connection). there was madness everywhere you looked.....the Nitrous room was by far the strangest thing I saw....too bad it got shut down. I dont the the Anderson Family Reunion was too happy about the crazy scene that was sharing the hotel facillities with them.....
All in all I was as close to being a wook as ever this weekend......and I think I will leave that to the experts a la Walsh Mahoney and company......
To close, it was a great time with great kidz. I hope to make it back soon, but most posatively definately NOT TOO SOON.....
Thanks again to Spacey for joining me on this journer and to Madeline for the ride and watchful eye. Also thanks to Walsh and the entire crew of madmen and madwomen that were so welcoming to us strangers to the party.....
