Last Saturday I went to see AAF at the academy in Manchester. I like them well enough but I’m not a big fan of the two supporting bands, Hoobastank and POD. Naturally I decided to get very drunk before going. When we arrived the place was pretty much empty and I was bored as Hell waiting for my friends to stop jumping around to the sound of POD, which was just as bad as I remembered. I made a trip to the loos to snort a little MD off of my keys as a coping mechanism (classy eh?).
By the time it kicked in POD had finally left the stage and I was starting to enjoy myself. I had refound my friends by the time Hoobastank came on stage but I was now busy scanning the crowds for someone new to hang out with since my friends where mostly paired up already. What I really wanted was a guy who’d let me sit on his shoulders to watch the gig. By the time I found someone the band was well into their set. I found a tall guy with nice shoulders who seemed to be equally miserable. I pushed my way over to him and grabbed his hand. He looked confused and even asked if he knew me. I said no which just seemed to get him even more confused. At this point I did something that I suppose seemed pretty weird to anyone who isn’t high on MD. I pulled him down to my level and started making out with him. He didn’t exactly resist and pretty soon he was pulling me to the side of the gig. I followed because I was drunk, high, and actually getting kind of horny.
