Count me as #3, wow what a small world. I remember the Project 86 duder freaking out about a stolen wallet, after his dumbass went crowd surfing.

2. mumped Up - Middle of the Map Fest, 2012

So glad I made it in for this. My friends were being negative nancys about the line to get in the Riot Room. I decided to chance my luck (FU was going on in 15 minutes), the line moved fast (went to the back door where bouncer wasn't doing 1 in 1 out), made it in for Coalesce's last song. So worth it, not to mention Acid Mothers Temple afterwards at the Union.

how about that story about calvin harris crying.  i mean the guy actually cried.   

[kim carnes]

this is why he started crying:

"No offence intended to Tryst, great club + staff but I don't know why I was invited there...! The people hated me!"

It's pretty great, isn't it? Jack White played an "impromptu" show in the woods somewhere this year that looked pretty cool. You can just walk through the woods and stuff.

Pretty great.  I know rap metal and nu metal are stupid, but POD was a great live band

p.clams -- Did you happen to go to the James Brown concert at the Liberty Memorial in KC around 1995?  I'm guessing we may have crossed paths a few times at the Bottleneck and whatnot "back in the day"...

[Belvis Noland]

Phoenix at Uptown was solid.

OK Go at Kanrocksas last year did a whole song with only hand bells.

no i didn't.  in 1995 i was living in MHK having way more invested as a ksu hoops fan than anyone not living in mhk at the time.
