I was um, pretty young. and this was my first rock show ever. i was really
excited becuz i would get to see hole who id been obsessing over for the longest
time. anyways, my mom and me picked 3 of my friends (well, this chic and 2 of
her bonehead pothead friends) up to begin the long drive from London ontario
to Barrie ontario. It was really crowded when we got there. my mom dropped us
off and we waited in the rain for about and hour to get in. chain smoking and
feeling like pure shite. when we got in, the 2nd stage had started so we got
in the front row for it. i was feeling pretty cool with my fake septum ring and
newly developed smoking habit. i got laughed at by the girl who plays the violin
(dont know her name) or it was one of those (ah, how cute!)smiles. i guess it
was. anyways, they played pretty well, although ive never understood bands who
have someone playing the violin or whatever in their bands becuz they sound NO
different then they would if the violin werent there. but yeagh, they were good.
after that we watched a talent show. i remember two things, this really old biker
guy got on stage and sang some old song. at first people hated him, but he ended
up winning, the second thing i remember is red pubic hair.(?) the we went to
the main stage just as the mighty mighty bosstones were finishing. the jesus
lizard came on. the mosh pit was just crazy. i wasnt about to go in it though,
with my mary janes, leotards and plaid skirt, i simply watched the spectacle
from afar. The singer was crazy! i remember he crowd surfed with the microphone,
what a moving experience. they werent good enough for me to accualy learn their
names though, so lets move on. i was pretty close to the front for beck. pretty
close to my death, i wasnt wearing any shoes becuz when i pogoed theyd get
stuck in the mud. this left me with a bruised tendin. it hurt bad! also, i got
wiplash and fell. but thats cool becuz some nice lollagoers picked the youngen
up. youngen being me. their was this whole family vibe going on. it was so
great! but anyways, beck was really good, worth near death experiences. then
elastica came on, i had moved, being the smart child i was, further back.
god elasticas so amazing! cant help but love them. but oooohhhhh shocker of the
day, during elasticas set, i happened to look up to the side steps to see courtney
love looking in the direction of the circle-jerk-off-beating that was going
on around me!!! i was more than happy. this made my day fully! after elastica
was pavement, a pretty cool badn if you would ask me! i took a picture of them
with my little hot pink mcdonalds camera, why? well, i wasnt really big on
pavement back then, but i saw kim gordon peeking out from behind a wall. snap-
snap. but pavement was good, a little boring, but good. next came cypress hill
which was who all of the dumb0dumb0heads i was with wanted to see. i stood by
the fence with all of these scrappy mohawk kids. steve shelly walked by me,
i just stared. when sonic youth finally finished, i ran to the mosh pit with
great excitement at what awaited me. Hole. the band i worshipped with all of
my little 12 year old heart was taking the stage. later on my friends said this
was the roughest mosh pit of the night but i didnt even notice it. strange.
they played amazingly. it was a really great show! i took a picture of them
during best sunday dress. but i had to leave, i had to force myself to leave.
i ended up leaving about a half an hour too late, right after violet. i couldnt
find my friends anywhere, and wandered out into the dark, parking lot. i was
guided ny drown soda to the two meatball heads, the girl though, had gone back
to look for me. my mom was supposed to be picking us up. eventualy we did get
back home. but not poor lesley. shes still stuck there somewhere! oh!
