puke in my pocket: a weekend with Gayle Gayballs and NoFX

Apparantly spending Valentines Day with your BFF since High School eating cupcakes and watching Air Bud is strange to some. Considering the whole reason I flew him to SF was to see NoFX at Thee Parkside on Valentines Day somewhat solidified him as my heterosexual lifemate. And how was the show, well thanks for asking! Seeing NoFX in a 20x30 room was the most amazing show I've been to. in my life. I've seen a lot of shows but never one where the band was so engaging and stoked to be playing. I've seen NoFX probably 20 times...always the same ol' show. How was this one different? They were more stoked to be playing Thee Parkside than I was to be there, thats why. Venue size makes all the difference. That and pissing on the Art Academy busses. I didn't expect them to bust out Radio, or even more than 2 songs where El Hefe plays the trumpet.

Now you ask, "where does the puke in the pocket come in?" Well, it comes in at the 500 club after a strategically (albeit stupid) placed shot of Chartreuse amidst massive beer drinking. Friday was a good night, ask me about it and I'll tell you!
