last night the boy & i went to see interpol at the agganis arena. though i didn’t have any clue at the time, we totally scored some REALLY UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME SEATS. we were five rows back from right stage, down on the floor. close enough to see the buttons on carlos d’s vest, and the newly trimmed-down line of his moustache. utterly fabulous.
and while i know there are a lot of folks out there who think every new interpol album is “no where near as awesome as turn on the bright lights” after seeing them for the third time now, they rock so hard and no less than they ever have. they played all of my favorite songs and a hefty lineup from our love to admire. also: we were so close, it rocked!
of course, you’re always faced with suck-ass crowds in new england. even at the most rockin’-est of shows, boston crowds are listless, bored-looking, douchey and usually immobile. at least people bothered to stand up for interpol last night. there was a half-way decent response and thus we got a pretty nice little encore. besides, the boys in interpol are classy showmen, and so there’s never a doubt of them putting on an entertaining show.
also, carlos will someday be my future baby daddy. i think the boy liked them, too. i hope he did cuz it was so much fun.
i would like to thank chip for sending me this, to make my day. if you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t yet heard…the patriots are dirty, filthy, lying, rotten CHEATERS. also: i hate them. belichick is just a lousy douche of a coach, and frankly i’d much rather have my boys play legitimately and lose than resort to unsportsmanlike practices and “win”. belichick has to go, man.
“It’s not their first time,” a member of the committee, who did not wish to be identified, said.
In fact, Green Bay Packers president Bob Harlan confirmed a similar incident that occurred when the Patriots played at Lambeau Field last Nov. 19. The same cameraman who was questioned by NFL security on Sunday was also the one whom the Packers removed from the sideline and escorted from the field during their 2006 game, according to Packers security official Doug Collins.
“From what I can remember, he had quite a fit when we took him out,” Harlan said. “We had gotten word before the game that they [the Patriots] did this sort of thing, so we were looking for it.”
yeah, i’m not surprised that there have been questionable practices with the patriots in the past. as a life-long raiders fan, i’m no stranger to the suspicious, and outright fucked up new england practices. i have a healthy loathing for tom brady — his face fills me with a murderous rage —that is second only to my hatred of john fuckin’ elway. all i can say right now is, i’m glad those fuckers got caught, because they completely deserve it. completely.
