It

Too many times I've decided not to go to a concert, only later to discover that it was an amazing show that I should have gone to. Well I didn't make that mistake a 10th time! I went to see Paul Oakenfold at 1015 Folsom (aka Release SF). It was a great show.

When I first heard about the show I bought two tickets. I figured a guy who can sell out 80,000+ seat stadiums in Europe can probably sell out a dinky place like 1015. Guess I was wrong on that one. Ticket went unused. It also means I went to the show myself, which could have gone better. I guess nobody is into the whole 10pm-3am show thing. I can understand that. I'm tired as hell right now.

The one thing that was interesting is that at almost any concert there are always a few types of people. I thought this show would be different, but it wasn't. First there is the 'Bulldozing Couple.' It's a simple technique to get to the front of crowd, the guy stands behind his girlfriend and pushes her through the crowd. It's very effective because rarely will a guy crack a girl with an elbow for pushing him in the back. He might take a few cracks at the bulldozer driver when he goes by though ;-)

Then we have the 'Human Totem Pole.' This is where a girl who can't see the stage climbs on her boyfriend's shoulders to get a better view, while the rest of us get an ass in our face.

Anyways, it was a good show.
