Against Me! Cincinnati 10/14/08

Last night was the Against Me! Show at Bogart's that I’ve been in anticipation of for some time. It didn't disappoint. We were up front, right in front of Tom. The energy was great and the band was really on.


The night started rough when some drunken guy brought up two girls and squeezed their way between me and Carl. It was bullshit. It was so frustrating being beside them. They obviously had no idea or care about the true content of Against Me!'s political and social messages. Luckily a couple that did help us work them away so that we were back up front. We had some minor words with the drunks then found ways to push them away. After that ordeal the rest of the night was relatively great. We got some water from Tom, 3 of Warren's drumsticks, and an amazing heartfelt show.

It was a huge release. Therapeutic to say the least. When Sink, Florid, Sink was on I felt so calmed. It was much needed

I guess they still do believe in Reinventing Axl Rose.
