Get me out of this place

Who wants to send me on a trip? The Blue Meanies are playing tonight in Chicago at the Double Door and as part of Riot Fest 2006 on Sunday. Th is is to say nothing of the fact that they’ll be playing alongside a reunited Bollweevils and Naked Raygun, the Tossers, the Toasters, 7 Seconds, Mustard Plug, and several other punk bands of awesome reknown.

The Meanies were some of the best fucking live shows I’ve ever seen. A show at Crown Bingo in Wichita was so hot and humid in the dead of winter that there was steam billowing out the open front doors. When they opened for Flogging Molly, I ignored Flogging Molly to buy beer for Billy Spunke. They were fucking awesome, and the fact that they’re playing again- TWICE, no less- kills me.

If Chicago seems a bit too little to show your adoration for me, I am always up to go to Vegas. Prince will soon begin playing shows at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas every friday and Saturday night. Tickets are only $125.

So, if you feel like gifting me, I won’t complain… just make it quick. I need to know whether or not I can make it to my friend Craig’s to see the Cyber Sunday pay-per-view.
