The Heavy Metal thread inspired me to bump this with a funny experience at a festival show last summer.
So, I’ve been a huge fan of the ska punk band The Suicide Machines since I was a young teenager (I’ll be 38 tomorrow). I had never been able to see them live, but last summer I finally had the chance when they came to Cleveland with NOFX for Punk in Drublic, a punk music and beer festival.
Before their set, a friend of a friend and I made a pact to go skank in the pit together. Well, when the time came, they were nowhere to be found, but I went for it anyway. After all, I’d been waiting almost 25 years for this.
Had a blast. Actually, too much of a blast. I had a migraine by the time NOFX took the stage. We had to leave early, and I ended up puking in the parking lot several times. I just love the image of passersby thinking I had too much to drink at this beer festival when in reality the vomit leaving my mouth was due to the migraine.
