My Alice Cooper shirt is cooler than yours

devilgrrlWe went to see Alice Cooper last night and I will never, ever, ever go to the Cohassett Music Circus again. Circus is damned right... The place is a hovel. The only good thing about it was that WZLX was there giving out free mosquito repellent packs. I need more of them.
I digress... The place was full of people who may once have been cool in the 70s, but had long since sold their souls to corporate America, squeezed out several preppy children, and were now viewing this as a family outing, since it was Cohassett.
The venue is a tent set up around a sunken little stage. I don't think there are more than 20 "rows" in the whole place. Put it this way, in the 7th. row, we were close enough for Alice Cooper to see and point at me during Poison. We were also close enough to see his scantily clad, very hot daughter who is my age. Again, digressing...
It was a stripped show because of how horridly small the place was. As Steven said, he didn't even kill himself this time around. There was basically no stage show (which he usually has a huge, proppy one) and all the people were dumb beyond words. The tent was hot and close and some asshole decided they needed to smoke up. What else..? Oh, and the 6'5" gentleman in the third row who decided to stand up for the last three songs, even though no one else was standing and he blocked everyone's view... That was ok, because I was choking from a combination of pot smoke and latex at that point. I couldn't really see to well.
The band was overpowering because of the lousy acoustics, even though we were that close. I could hardly make out any of the songs. Twas not fun on that level.
I guess, all in all, I had an okay time and I did get a really cool Alice Cooper shirt (since I actually "went" this time). It's not as cool as the Dragontown shirts, but still. I need more of an excuse for people to look at my chest. It says "Is it my body?" with his face on a red tank top. I needed more tanktops anyhow. Steven got an "Elected - Alice Cooper" shirt.
Anyhow, time to leave... Bottomline is that I liked the Halloween show I saw at the Orpheum better, but I'm still glad I went. If I went back to that awful hellhole again, I would sit further back. Oh, and I would bring earplugs.
My bras came today. Shall post pictures of the designs tomorrow at some point. I need to go to the mall with my mom so I can get some funeral-appropriate attire for Donna's dad's funeral.
