In a cd karaoke bar
By the banks of the mighty Bosphorus
Is a Japanese man in a business suit singing smokets in your eyes
And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians
While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits…

Summer Shows: The Update
May 17th - Blind Melon - Piere’s, Fort Wayne, IN
I missed this show had to get some stuff done for my internship…already saw em once this year so oh well…
May 23rd - Stone Temple Pilots - Carbday Indianpolis Motor Speedway, IN
I made this one, we were almost rained out but Budweiser got us through the weather…and into a beautiful race weekend…
May 24th - X103’s MayDay Concert - Deer Creek, Noblesville, IN
Didn’t make this one because I was at the track livin’ the life, my girlfriend said it was awesome so let’s trust her word…
May 30th - Eric Clapton w/ Robert Randolph & the Family Band - Deer Creek, IN
Although I had FREE tickets I couldn’t go because a friend of mine got married…It stormed like hell that night and from what I hear it was a decent show…
June 4th - CAKE - Caesars Indiana Outdoor Venue, Elizabeth, IN
You bet your ass I made it to see CAKE…Again it stormed like hell before the show and left about 6 inches of water in my backyard before we left but we made it south in time…The show was rockin’ but they only played for about an hour and a half and then I drove 2+ hours home by myself to make it to Indy in time for work…How do you afford your Rock ‘N Roll Lifestyle?
June 13th -Medeski, Scofield, Martin, & Wood - Indy Jazzfest, Indianapolis, IN
Unfortunately it rained (again) during the day and I figured the show would be cancelled…wrong it turned out to be a marvellous evening and I missed a kick ass show…damn
June 28th - Steve Miller Band w/ Joe Cocker - Deer Creek, Noblesville, IN
Well it rained like hell the night before and morning of the show (again). I’m beginning to see a theme here which involves rain at every show I go to, but thankfully the rain held off until we got into our car-Hooray. Pretty good show considering I was starving and bad drunk (where you sit on the ground and wish you never drank the eight or nine 16oz. Budweisers and a ton of Franzia Boxed White Zinfandel in the parking lot before the show)…Not a good idea. Then I got separated from everyone when I went to go get some Nachos and it was just a mess. Overall I recovered from this horrible drunkiness and was able to enjoy Steve Miller Band…. Although I have no recollection of Joe Cocker’s Set…
