it's the middle of summer. and i've accomplished my goal of seeing every jaw-dropping/life-changing band before the age of 21! 311 concert was last sunday in the woodlands and it was fucking amazing. stick 311 with matisyahu as the opener in a pavilion surrounded by trees and a bunch of pot head fans and that spells out one of the best days of my life! even if the lawn turned into a massive mudpit. austin went with me and i think he had a good time. it was his first real show and my billionth so he was mildly apprehensive while i was rocking the fuck out with the pothead on my left. the thing about 311 is that they've been together for like 20 years so that's 20 years of material to go through in a two hour period. they played every song i wanted to hear except for 3 very important ones: "come original", "grassroots" and "i'll be here awhile." i work at jc penney now which is good cuz the latest i get off is like 9:30 p.m. and then i can go home and actually do something instead of passing out. i have to go pick up sara. i missed sitd.
