Bumbershoot 2005 Wrap-Up: Home of Depraved Rock Stars

PROS of Bumbershoot:
--Food was awesome as ever.
--The band selection much, much more eclectic.
--IGGY MOTHERFUCKING POP AND THE STOOGES. They are my new heroes.
--Billy Preston playing on his birthday.
--Elvis Costello.
--The Ink Spot's office setup. So cool.
--Stadium never sold out for once. Despite awesomeness of the mainstages.
--No Devo.
--No drum orb/circles/gay hippie parades.
--My $625 I earned on turf crew.

CONS of Bumbershoot:
--Inga Muscio the stupid whore from Hell.
--Pickpockets. Especially shitty ones.
--Having to work turf crew.
--Dashboard Confessional didn't cancel.
--Problems with the whole "parcred" system.
--Not getting into Flogging Molly.
--Spending lots of money.

So all in all, it was quite the experience. Now I wake up tomorrow and rue the day man invented astroturf all over again. YAY.

I also ran into Nicki before the Stooges played. And it wasn't awkward or shitty. I liked that. Unfortunately, she's a lesbian and still far too cute. Why is it all the girls I can be interested in are batting for the other team? ;_; That includes Jess now, too. x_x;

...I need someone to fuck, dammit. Just...I dunno, not even a regular thing. Just once. I don't want to have to do all the song-and-dance routine of attraction and courtship, or try and play the club game and lose, or any of that shit. I don't want emotional attachment. Nor do I want to have to pay money. I just need to screw again, dammit.

...feel free to laugh now.
