While the boys played, MX vs. ATV Untamed, I pinned my hair back and took a drink of my 7&7. As I finished up my make-up and took another gulp( way too Strong to be gulping) I couldn't wait to start out on the road to Royal Oak.
We were already an hour late, so during the time we waited for Barry we downed our drinks and Sheldon Bonged a Beer. Barry finally pulled up to the complex, we scurried around to grab our stuff and pour the remander of the drinks in plastic bottles. Before we left Matty down a grenade of Mickeys and Threw it down on the kitchen Floor, it shattered and he yelled, "One More Round and It's Bottles to the ground"!!!! What a way to start the evening.
The car ride to the concert hall was entertaining to say the least, as we trader old storiesand laughed at each others misfortunes.
Pulling up to the Street in Royal Oak, I could tell we were close to the venue by The spike studded Jackets and the red Mohawks I screamed out the Window " I LOOOOOOOVE MOOOOOHAAAAWKS".
The parking structure was full of every kind of person you could imagine. I was pretty buzzed up by this time walking down the street Matty and I shared a beer.
Nearing the line my heart was racing I couldn't Believe I was finally going to see NOFX!!! As the door man asked me " Are you drinking tonight?" I opened my mouth to speak but Matty took the words right out of my mouth " Sir this is a NOFX Concert everybody is drinking!" A cheer from behind me I noticed some kids I went to School with in Tecumseh were there and all I could think of when I looked at them was " You were those preppy Fucks in school who listened to what ever was on the radio and drank Mikes hard lemonade at partys, what the Fuck are you doing here?".
Walking through the first big room I saw my friend Pat Standing there and I ran over and Gave him a hug. I am a Networker, thats what I do, and Immediately I started in about buisness, But Then Matty heard No Use For a Name Playing and he jetted off into the crowd past the bar. I decided to do the same and bid Pat a farwell.
I instantly had to pee and hit the bathroom. Waiting in line I met a girl with a sweet Pink Mohawk about 7 inches tall and we traded hair tips and stressed the fact that Fishnets aren't very strong and they always rip.
Leaving the bathroom feeling the need to refill my self I hit the bar and bought a 6 dollar beer.....FUUUCK THAT!!! But Whatever this was NOFX and it was all or nothing! I turned around from the Bar and saw Sheldon standing there. I had strayed from the group so I was happy to see him. Sheldon and I descended down to the second plat form and met up with Barry. I slammed my beer and threw it into the crowd and felt a surge of energy. I was fucking ready!
As Nofx Started into there first Song (Which It's hard to remember but i want to say it was 'fuck the kids') I went down to the mosh pit to go find Matty but then shortly after that thought, I didn't care about finding him I just wanted to make sure I could see the band and breath. Standing on the bottom stair I could see the Mosh pit and it was like a wave of people flowing back and fourth...Yeah not one of those calming beach waves, oh no this was a wave of mass descruction and I wanted to be a part of it! So I jumped in. Let the mass chaos begin!
I was in attack position ( for those of you who don't ride dirtbikes, its when your elbows are out) and ready for anything. As I shoved, punched and ducked I made my way to the front to see Fat Mike and in the midst I saw My friend Pat Sitting on stage, I smiled and kept moving through the wave. I had thrown punches, Fallen down on the ground the kicked in the ribs as I scurried to get back up. I hit some kid in the face and he proceeded to hit me back, then we both turned around and started in on the people next to us. It Felt Fucking AMAZING!!!!
One guy tried to lift me up to crowd surf and I was not having it so I kicked and flailed as much as I could till I got down. Crowd surfing leaves you open to be robbed and gropped. No Thanks.
Then I was at a stand still (well almost) when the girl in front of me was basically attacked. The Guy in front of her took both his elbows and rammed her in the stomach she toppled over and fell on me. I helped her up asked her if she was okay and you could tell the asshole had knocked the wind out of her. So I stepped up in front of her and when the wave moved back I reared up and then as it moved forward I punched him as hard as I could in the kidney, I could see him grab his side bend over then look around to see who did it. For some reason he didn't suspect me or the girl he had knocked down in the first place. Dumbass.
I pushed and shoved my way back to where Barry and Sheldon where, on the outside of the Mosh pit and settled myself there for a few songs. it was incredible every single aspect of this concert was everything I could have hoped for and more, The crazy part was it was about to get better.
They Play'd " One More Round and It's Bottles to the Ground" Thats probably one of my favorite songs ever and I danced, sang, screamed and thrashed. I had noticed the girl behind me had killer style, Her Name was Harley and She liked my style too.
I collected the boys money and ran up to the bar to get beer. Low and behold my Matty is standing near the bar trying to call my phone ( i didn't bring it). When he looked up and saw me he was so thrilled to have found me he immediately planted and big sweaty kiss on my lips. I couldn't help but giggle because I was happy to see him. I grabbed all the beers and he and I went back to where the boys were standing. Matty had told me he was down in front the majority of the time texting and trying to call, untill he came up to see if I was at the bar.
Matty and I finished our beers and hand in hand walked down the aisle to the front near the mosh pit. He turned to me squeezed my hand and said " Don't let go"! I didn't for the rest of the night I held on.
Once we got to the front, right next to the speakers Matt grabbed ahold of the bar on the divider and pulled me closer and closer. I can't even tell you how many times this dude elbowed me in the tit for my spot untill I kicked him in the knee cap and pushed him away. He didn't come back.
Matty and I sang and screamed and fought for our positions and in the middle of all the chaos he looked at me, kissed me hard on the lips and said " I think we were made for each other". I would have to say that moment was the most romantic thing anyone could have ever said or done. He might as well have proposed. It was fucking beautiful.
During the last song the crowd was fucking crazy chanting "NOFX , NOFX, NOFX" and the came on for one last song. I screamed and shouted for the encore we all new was coming and Matt once again turned to me and said " I fucking love you", and planted another kiss on my lips then one on my forhead.
After the band had exited the stage we started walking to the entrace to leave. We waited for the boys at the entrace doors and only to find out they were waiting at the parking structure.
Walking up the sidewalk to our destination apparently we had missed the kid being tazered outside of the Venue. Dammit.
Matt stopped along the way to pee and had noticed severly phone calls from this kid we know, so he called him back. It was the kids 21st Birthday and he wanted Das Boot. Well in the stairway of the parking structure matt shouted out "DAS BOOT" He parctically started a riot. Everyone in the stairwell Started chanting "DAS BOOT, DAS BOOT, DAS BOOT", There was roughly 30 people.
(If you don't know what Das Boot is then you haven't seen BeerFest)
We found Sheldon on the 2nd floor and followed him to the car. There we found Barry and I snapped one last photo before we took our 50 minute journey home.
One of the best nights of my life.
