Last night I went to the Brian Jonestown Massacre concert at Plush. It was a pretty cool concert and lasted a hell of a long time. My friends and I got there right around 11 and by 1:30 they were still going strong, which is cool that they played so long, but unfortantely I needed to get up for class, but I definitely got my money's worth. They played some stuff I didn't recognize as I haven't had a chance to totally check out their band, but they played some of my favorites from what I have heard, which was very nice.

Like going to all concerts, there are always people who go to these things which cannot be labelled as anything other than strange. There was a guy who looked to be no taller than 5'3 who was trying to grind with different women throughout the show. Rather than being completely disgusting, I really felt sorry for the guy because he was looking pretty desperate and didn't seem to realize he was the object of ridicule. It didn't help that one woman, who spent part of the show trying to show her "seductive" side (or the lack thereof) to other guys, was essentially egging the guy on all night. It seemed like some perverted mating ritual that one would see on a PBS nature show.

Besides the "side show", I was very glad I had a chance to get out and see the band play live. If any of my readers see that they are playing in a local club, I would highly recommend it. I will leave you with a joke by Anton, but I warn you that it is not recommended for children:

What is the difference between Michael Jackson and Pimples?

- Pimples don't "come" on your face until you are at least 13.

Here's a tip to all the poor graduate and medical students if you are a couple bucks short for that lap dance, don't pay for it with stolen body parts, or you may be sitting in jail for a while. Police discovered after a call that an exotic dancer had a preserved hand along with three human skulls in her apartment. After an investigation, it was discovered that a medical student stole a hand from a cadaver and gave it to the dancer. The dancer enjoyed it so much, her and her friends began to call it "Teddy". Now the graduated medical student could face up to 10 years in prison.

While I will admit that this is a very disturbing article, it probably doesn't deserve a sentence of 10 years, public humiliation would be more appropriate.
