Chef Cthulhu said...: What number is the dude who went to shows when he was young, hasn't been to a show in ages and thinks everyone else there is a poseur because they weren't doing this 20 years ago? They forgot him...; April 8, 2009 at 9:24 AM
Ubermilf said...: Chef C, I think that's number 16.; April 8, 2009 at 9:34 AM
Betty Carlson said...: Very funny. I would have to include the 40/50 something guys who, before the show, make a big deal out of telling the 40-something gals sitting in front of them that THEY (the guys, unclear antecedent, I know) have a band THEMSELVES.

This actually happened to my sis and me at the Ray Davies show last year. We thought we would die laughing.; April 8, 2009 at 10:18 AM
Randal Graves said...: chef, oh, the "I was rocking when you were just a punk kid" guy?

übermilf, no comments from the Kenny G gallery.

betty, "Ray Davies? Well, I have a band, too."

You're right, not a viable pickup line.; April 8, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Betty Carlson said...: It also turns out that they had never seen Ray or the Kinks, which I guess I can forgive. But then once the show started, they told sis and me to SIT DOWN so they could SEE!; April 8, 2009 at 12:10 PM
that girl said...: 2 things that are also missing.

The really drunk guy.

The couple where the guy is totally into it and the girl looks like she wants to go home.; April 8, 2009 at 12:20 PM
Life As I Know It Now said...: I'm torn between 12 or 16. Depends on who the band is :); April 8, 2009 at 3:08 PM
Dean Wormer said...: Ha! I'm the Portland rep of the National Association of Loutish Bores.; April 8, 2009 at 3:46 PM
La Belette Rouge said...: I think I will chose to label myself as the "woo-hoo" gal even though I can rarely muster than kind of enthusiasm.; April 8, 2009 at 4:06 PM
Thomas Fummo said...: Congratulations for FINALLy discovering Winston Rowntree.

Oh yes, I'm number 17.
I've never been to a rock show!

*ba-dump tsssscchhh!*; April 8, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Commander Zaius said...: Ah crap, I'm number 2. Hell, it even looks like me.; April 8, 2009 at 6:01 PM
susan said...: I think the scalpers had run out of tickets when we decided to see this show.; April 8, 2009 at 8:57 PM
lisahgolden said...: A what?

Oh - where's the mom waiting outside in the car? That's me.; April 8, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Tom Harper said...: #17 isn't there. The opening act was so good, he left early because the headlining act would've just been a letdown.; April 8, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Utah Savage said...: I'm standing outside in the rain trying to keep both a doobie and a cigarette lit and smoking.; April 9, 2009 at 1:17 AM
S.W. anderson said...: Randal, please indulge a bit of off-topicness so I can point you to this. I'm sure you'll find a good use for it. ;); April 9, 2009 at 1:18 AM
Karen Zipdrive said...: How accurate was that cartoon?
I had to give up large concerts ages ago.
I'd be the one looking at my watch and thinking about what I'm missing on TV.; April 9, 2009 at 11:54 AM
Westcoast Walker said...: I'm the dude running out mid way through the first encore, panicking at the prospect of having to pay the babysitter double time.; April 10, 2009 at 3:43 PM
Distributorcap said...: if jerry garcia isnt there, it is not worth the price of admission; April 11, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Dr. Zaius said...: I'm number 7. (Well, at least the leering part.); April 16, 2009 at 11:23 PM
