Friday night I went to the Godsmack/Ill Nino/Dropbox concert in Lewiston. Decent concert from what I remember. I was really sick, fever, chills, headcold. I think I passed out for awhile when Dropbox came out. I drank a lot of water, thus had to piss like every five minutes. Stupid lines for the bathrooms. Saw Ill Nino set. They were awesome. I don’t think there were a lot of fans in the crowd though. No boos or shit like that, just not any energy for them. I stayed for a couple Godsmack songs and decided to leave. Raced home from Lewiston in like 25mins. lol
Before the concert, I went to Bull Moose in Lewiston to wait for the Ill Nino meet & greet. They finally showed up at around 4pm. I got my cd signed. Pics in my gallery. Only about 50 people showed up for the meet & greet. I think Ill Nino were let down personally and they seemed pissed. I’m not sure who to blame though. Not a lot of coverage on TOS and other radio stations I guess. Prolly the band’s management fault too, for not getting the word out to the stations. The band hung out for like an hour. Perusing through the store. They hit all the sections looking at cds. I don’t know if any of them bought anything. A bunch of teen groupies were following one of the guys around and then he decided to go to Sears next door to get a hair dryer. Yeah, these guys have some bad ass dreads.
I tried to win some tickets for my friend Mike, but the stupid drawing was rigged. The kid who won, signed his name on one of the tickets, and left his stub attached to the ticket put int he box. All they did was made the kid sign a paper to prove signature, not like show ID or just be disqualified. How gay.
I saw an friend from UMaine I hadn’t seen in like three years. She was there with her fiance I guess. I didn’t know either of them liked Ill Nino. Thought that was kinda funny/cool. Shouts out to those 2 if you read this. Good to see them.
Anyway I was sick all fucking weekend. Feverish, chills, headcold. Today I’m finally feeling better. Did some yardwork and worked in my basement, trying to organize shit for a lan party this weekend. Man that would be sweet.
I’m out. lates.
