Talk about a long recovery... It's taken me until today to finally blog... hahahhahah So what clubs/bars did I hit this past weekend??? Acutally NONE!!!! Can you believe that??? YUP.....I just wanted to chill this past weekend...Don't get me wrong...It's not like I totally stayed home .... I just modified my activities.....I went to 2 concerts this past weekend....

Let's start w/ Friday...... I was asked to go see Angie Stone/ Kenny Lattimore in Berkeley... And of course i'm down to see a concert... For those of you who don't know these artists...you best get the steppin!!! hahahh Just kidding... These two artists are R&B singers.. The venue the concert was being held at was at the Berkeley Community Center.. Let me tell you guys...if you ever attend an event here....don't wear a sweater..a turtleneck sweater that is and a peacoat....GOD...I was dying....

Well this "date" as the Voodoo wants to call it was goin pretty well until he started crackin a couple of jokes ..... black jokes that is.. Oh, before I forget...Angie Stone and Kenny Lattimore are African-American and of course 80% of the audience was African-American..so then of course I laughed a little...but it just kept goin on and on....Big T.O. (that's Turn Off for you kids) He did state that he'd stop...but he didn't....oh well.... Doesn't this guy know the rules??? Apparently NOT!!! So then the next thing was that he said the word FAGGOT!!!! Goodness gracious!!!! That just totally hurt my ears....Dude is homophobic and of course I have friends/relatives who are homosexual and that just does not FLY w/ me...Although I use the phrase "that is so gay," this was just too much for me...

I'm sorry...back to the concert....really good...This was a much more of a chill, sit-down and enjoy....Although I only know Kenny Lattimore's For You wedding song....I was still able to groove to his music... Alot of ballads for you lovers out there.....

As for last night.....OH MY GOD...the total opposite..... I went to the No Doubt concert at the San Jose State Event Center w/ the Evil One, Boy Wonder, 2 Left Feet, Dickhead, Stinky Feet, and Slick.... Man did we roll deep or what.... The concert was general admission so it's "first come, first serve" basis.. So if you get in line at 3pm, you just might be in luck for a seat. If not...your ass out and your standing for the whole concert, unless you don't mind sitting on the floor that may be wet from drinks being spilled...

So I of course was prepared for this concert since i've been here before for Prince's concert last year... It get's HOT!!!!! I was wearin my travel pants, shirt, a hoody and sweatshirt, since it was hella cold outside... But once you get inside you start peelin off your clothes.. So you don't want to be rollin up in a sweater turtleneck..hint hint...Dickhead... and you don't wanna pimp your leather jacket even though you know it looks good w/ your fit.....2 Left Feet. The only coatcheck around is the arm attached to your body....

We get inside and the openin act is The Faint... These guys are from Nebraska and they weren't too bad... They kinda had an 80's sound to them, but I knew it... Dickhead wasn't feelin it.... She was fallin asleep in her corner...The finally ended they're set and we were waiting an HOUR for NO DOUBT to come on the stage.... I swear....that's the longest i've ever had to wait for an artist to perform.... What the hell do they do backstage....SHEESH.....

As always No Doubt put on a good performance.... They always get the crowd hyped and to see EVERYONE jump up and down and wave they're hands...is SICK!!!!!! Although I didn't appreciate those HIGH-ASS PITCHED SCREAMS in my ear...I swear me and 2 Left Feet were constantly pluggin our ears...it literally HURT!!! Maybe next time, I should bring earplugs... Frickin Slick has this teen screamin in his ear that he moved her in front of him and she ended up screamin in MY EARS.... I swear ....you couldn't get away from it..... Oh and another thing you couldn't get away from was B.O. Oh my god...I swear do poots not smell it....God....the closer we got the stinkier it got....I'm COOOOOOOL!!!

So the performance ends and what do we end up doin????I knew we weren't goin anywhere... Cause we parked in the garage at the top and everyone's tryin to get out of the garage...there is NO WAY!!!! I call up my homie to find out what's close by since i haven't eaten dinner and there's no way we're goin anywhere.. We end up rollin to 7 Eleven to get some beers. I hit up the NACHOS!! I learned a trick on emptyin the tray of nachos and puttin it in a paper bag and w/ the container...you fill it up w/ the cheese and chili so your chips don't get soggy and you get enough cheese and chili to last you your chips....Isn't that just the sickest!!! But why does 2 Left Feet trip out and laughs with what i'm doin...but when we have our little picnic at the top of the parkin lot, he's hella grubbin off the dip...hahahhahahhahahha....Anyways....so we all get our grub, NO BEER (wasn't that the main thing we were suppose to get????) and bring it back to 2 Left Feet's car and we're chillin at the parkin lot grubbin away while peeps are chillin in their cars still tryin to get out...and staring at our food....

We all had a blast last night....it was a dope concert and everyone enjoyed themselves...If we all go out to a concert again...we're frickin TAILGATIN......I'M BRINGIN THE BEER!!!!
