Last night was the Finger Eleven concert and it was also the first concert I had been to since March 2006. Some concertage was long overdue. We left the city around 5pm to get to the Kool Haus in Toronto.
Spencer and I looked pretty punk rock. . .for a non metal band. We painted our fingernails black and what not. Spencer wore a fishnet shirt. I on the otherhand wore some beat up jeans and a bright pink sweater. It didn't matter though because we bought some concert tees.
The first two opening bands really sucked. Seriously. The first band was so terrible I thought it was a joke. I was waiting for someone to come on stage and say "Haha, you are all on candid camera." It never happened.
When Finger Eleven finally came on I was so excited. I remained calm for fear of scaring the boyfriend with my stupidity and excitement. Heidi and my mother know exactly what I am talking about.
As usual with every concert, there is some idiot who gets too drunk and stumbles around and just makes a general ass of himself. This idiot found himself located in our general area. The first couple times we tolerated him, then he spilled beer all over me and started pushing me around.
SO, what did we do to get even? Well, Spencer pushed him and made him spill the remainder of his beer, while I elbowed him in the face, all before he was escorted out of the building by five bouncers. This idiot made me miss my fav song off the new album, but I still got to see "One Thing" and "Paralyzer" so it was pretty awesome.
The show seemed to go pretty fast and I wasn't done rocking out but like all good things it must come to an end.
Overall Finger Eleven puts on a really good show and I have yet to see a crappy concert. So I've only been to three but they have all been really good.
Spencer and I are already planning the next one because we hope that this will be a summer full of concerts.

I'm glad you had a good time. Too bad about the drunken asshole, but at least you guys got a couple of good shots in.

My wife and I went to Bonnaroo in Tennessee a couple of years ago. There was over 90,000 people there, 3 days worth of shows, and LOTS AND LOTS OF DRUGS. Good thing I'm such a choir boy! ;)http://www.bonnaroo.com/2007-lineup

Crazy shit!

I'm happy to know that you had a good time for the most part.

I completely understand your frustration with the drunken fool. Them and their beer never fail to find me when I go to concerts.

Those guys are definitely profesh. Solid band.

Did you know they used to be called Rainbow Butt Monkeys? yes they were! I remember 15 years ago when they won a radio station contest.

Where the heck did Spencer get a fishnet shirt????
