To those of you who may be curious, i will not be in class today because like any good 50's rebel would do, I'm bailing on class for rock n roll. Psychobilly to be exact. Nekromantix to be specific (yes, you need to go look them up on YouTube right now... I know you're at a computer. Its okay, I'll wait....). K now that you know the epic amount of rad that is Nekromantix, perhaps you'll understand why it is absolutely necessary to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday at a Nekro show. Only downside is, that means getting up at 5am to work a 7:30 to 12, then a job interview at 12:30, then flying home to get dressed, picking up friends all over Rochester, hitting the road no later than 4 (fingers crossed), arriving in Cleveland by 8, raging the night away and then turning right around to come home around 2am, which makes our estimated return time about 6am, (yes, that's 25 hours awake), have to take all my friends home, pick up my son, get him ready for daycare, drop him off, get home hopefully by 8 then crash until Ralph Blacks class at 6 because he's one grouchy fucker when he wants to be and i gotta be ready.
So yes kids, that is what we call rock star status. 27 hours up, 8 hours at the wheel, all to see some hot sweaty psychobilly action. In conclusion - i will not be in class tonight. I'll miss you all.
Fuck yeah Nekro. Rockabilly is completely underrated and learning how to play upright bass is on my bucket list. A+, perfect reason to skip.
ReplyDeleteThese are the times to remember...FOR SURE! Hope you had a GREAT time :)
ReplyDeleteBefore and after!!!!! We need details!
ReplyDeleteWow reading this just made me extremely jealous. Having to stay up for so long just makes experiences like this that much more awesome. It messes with your psyche knowing you're going to be up for so long, but when it's for something fun it's always worth it.
