So last night Ryan, Jess and I went to see NOFX and four opening bands at Rams Head Live in Baltimore and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen a punk band in a club in a long time and it's almost such a great experience that you can never hang on to the memory of all the fun. It would take up too much of your brain.
First of all the place that we saw them was Rams Head Live which is right in inner harbor pretty much. The nicest thing for us was that you just stay on 83 take one exit and make a right and you're parking your car. The venue itself could not have been cooler. It seemed like they had 10 separate bars on three levels. I didn't count or even go to the third level, but that's how it seemed. You could see the stage from almost anywhere and they also had many TV screens scattered throughout as well. Really great place, and drinks were cheap for a show where you're pretty much captive. I took advantage of that and even managed to pass one or two off to J-dog.
The band played a ton of killer songs including Dinosaurs Will Die, which I was psyched to hear and they did a killer cover of Rancid's Radio too. They seemed to be having fun, but did, at some point, sort of make fun of the wishy washy Baltimore crowd. The coolest thing for me and Ryan was that we were running into friends from here and there throughout the night. Even some of Ryan's Jersey buddies were there, which surprised him. Anyway, wish I had gotten some pics in retrospect, but I didn't take my camera because I didn't know how wild shit would get. I was smoking a cig outside and got to say hi to Fat Mike right as he was heading from the bus to the stage, so that was cool.
I don't think I'll ever miss NOFX again if they come around. The show was fucking excellent and they have terrific fans who know how to have fun.
