The Musical Stylings of City and Colour featuring Drunk Man-Creep and That-Girl-at-Concerts-That-Can-Ruin-the-Show
So last night I went with Sean to Ramshead Live in Baltimore to see City and Colour. This is the moniker that the amazing Dallas Green goes under. Dallas + Green = City + Colour... get it... but he was there with a full band too.
Anyway, the concert was awesome; man I wish I had his voice! But I will not use this blog to talk about the wonderful aspects of the concert. I would like to talk about two individuals in the audience that not only caught my attention, but also the attention of many other fans at the concert.
1.) Drunk Man-Creep: Age--mid to late 30s, Weight--240+, Height--5'10''ish, Level of drunkenness before the concert--tipsy, Level of drunkenness during the concert--unable to focus on anything, in violation of excessive swaying, randomly shouted words to the song, Number of times he switched position in the crowd--10+, Average distance from me and Sean--within 5 feet, Time between each beer--20 minutes, Number of times he blocked my vision of Dallas with his over-sized head--too many to count.
Finally, after he was intensely singing into a girl's face, either in high-school or barely out, and almost falling into her, Sean and I put ourselves in between the girl and the drunk man-creep since this girl was not deserving of this experience and another guy tricked him into going over to the bar for free beer. We never saw him the rest of the night, granted there were only 5 more songs in the set.
The worst part... he was there by himself...
2.) That-Girl-at-Concerts-That-Can-Ruin-the-Show: Age--out of college to early 30s, Position in crowd--behind the sound booth, Voice level--carried 20 feet in all directions even when the music was playing, Assumed college lifestyle--sorority girl in business school, Number of people that told her to STFU--5 to 10 including the main sound guy, Number of "WOOOOOOO!"s--at least 10, Number of times she yelled for Dallas to play "The Girl"--in between every song, Number of arguments she go into--4, What she claimed her reason for being so obnoxious was--"I'm just showing my support!", How long it took her boyfriend to shut her up--he couldn't...
