I'm kind of glad I didn't go. It was so shitty at the fair.

I planned on going. I went on this family reunion/vacation thing up in northern Minnesota instead and if I hadn't went on vacation I would've had to drive all the way back to Willmar(about 2 hours is all) after the show because I have class at 7:30 in the morning. I don't think SC went. I thought he was posting last night whilst the concert was going on.

I did not go. Being unemployed made me prioritize this one lower; with tickets and having to also pay admission to get into the fair, this show would have cost Mrs. Clone and I about 76 bucks. Not a good value, especially considering yesterday's insane severe weather. Plus I'm not too big on RR, and I knew they would be naturally concentrating on that material. A hard choice to make, but I'm living on a LOT less money these days.

Oh, and I also pretty much hate the State Fair.

Haha. I LOATHE the State Fair with a passion. Greasy food and rides. Not my kind of place to hang out.

The State Fair is a nice place to take a friend who hasn't had a date in years and is feeling discouraged. Seeing some of the couples that have somehow found each other can be an inspiration for anyone. This experience with convince you that there is somebody for EVERYONE.


Glandular atrocity, meet toothless unwashed mouthbreather....

Yes. A breeding ground for white trash. I imagine there are plenty of inbred babies born about 9 months later.

someone asked to be my girlfriend at the state fair.

Cute. What did you say to it?

that i didnt want a girlfriend, i was staring at the pizza stand and had one goal.

Shortly after I got there the wind shifted and it started to rain, nobody wanted to give up their good spots and everyone was reluctant to move at first but security started yelling at us to seek shelter so we did. IT RAINED. The rain let up just a little and everyone started running towards the stage to meet security waving their arms to send us back. (funny scene by the way, a large crowd running back and forth in a down pour:))
...we waited some more in the cold rain.

The show definately didn't suck, it was much better and more energetic than the Milwaukee show (that show wasnt great and I blame it all on the terrible crowd). I liked the set list and if they would have just kept on going during Rapture? and made stuff up I dont think many people would noticed or cared. *thinks* I believe it was after teenage riot that thurston complimented a restaurant named Mickey's for "having a kickass sortof lunch/late brunch meal" and asked the crowd if they knew if Mickey's was good for a late-night meal also. Also, about half way thru, Lee states, "It turned out to be a nice evening." Which it actually did!

Only a few gripes; people were more excited to see Wayne come out and walk around the stage during set-up than they were to hear Sonic Youth. Also, when Flaming Lips' drummer came out and waved at the crowd during set-up most people were just like "...ahh heeey, ...ah*waves* oH, HEY... YEAHHHHHHH!" it was hilarious.

That's all for now, any questions? good.

good choice, food is always better.
who has the energy for sex anyways.

i drove all the way from southeastern wisconsin to catch this...ended up getting a $260 speeding ticket along the way....snuck loads of alcohol in.....got trashed and freaked during the entire youth set......was completely drenched from the rain....absolutely no regrets.......the youth are still topping my fave band list

Justin, I didn't see you at the show. Were you fucking soaking wet too?
Too bad you missed the Lips. They were great.

Haha I was on Hayden patrol. I even told my friend to look out for redheaded little shits. I was gonna mess up your hair if I saw you.

Nope I had an umbrella. We hung inside the grandstand till the rain ended. Pretty damn good timing though on that rain. Yeah I was pretty much right behind you.

Haha. I don't come out in the sunlight. Was there a big crowd?

I guess. Not as big without u there. :^(

I'm sorry. Do you go to shows often? I'm going to be seeing show after show this year. I'm excited.

WE got lucky in STL,MO we had great weather on saturday night,aug 26th. The playlist of the shows sound similer but sonic youth did not play teenage riot and I wish they would of, Daydream Nation is one of my favs!!!!
