Hey everyone... I am the boyfriend that this crazy chick always talks about. My name is Wyatt. I love music, specifically ska, punk and anything really original and passionate. I also love surfing, long walks on the beach and eating romantic dinners, but this thing aint no E-Harmony profile, so I'm gonna shut up now. Apparently I'm supposed to write something on here for my beloved girlfriend. Why me, I dont know. I hate English and writing and all that jazz, but I'm going to make the most of it. I thought long and hard for about 15 seconds about something good that's happened to me recently. And out of the deep dark abyss of my brain, the Streelight Manifesto show I attended reared its not-so-ugly-head. For those who don't know what this Streetlight Manifesto thingy-mah-bobber is, lemme tell ya... They are an absolutely incredible ska/punk band. I'm not really going to go into great detail about them, because I could go on for days about how great they are, so instead, I'm just going to list 11 things I learned from the show. I had to go with 11 things just to be different from Laura's "10 Reasons I Want a Food Truck" post. Fair enough?......
1. Streetlight Manifesto is the greatest band to walk the face of this planet. ( I knew this before I went to the show, but it just confirmed my opinions..)
2. Tomas Kalnoky, the lead singer/guitarist is my one and only true man crush. Yeah. I said it. Man crush. He's just plain amazing and I admire him immensley.
3. No matter what race, religion, sexual preference, gender or attire you may represent, music always unites and brings us together.
4. Between screaming every last lyric, being smashed between what seemed like a moving, dynamic ocean of people, and trying to dance to the music, one can work up quite an appitite.
5. The Supervillians, which were an opening act to Streetlight, are quite fond of smoking the herb.....
6. Dan Potthast proved that an opening, solo, acoustic act can be one of the highlights of the night.
7. Mohawked men are very nice people to talk to while waiting for the next band to play.
8. Carrying 3 glasses of water through a crowd of people from the back to the front is not an easy task by any means.
9. It is possible to get Laura to say she likes Streetlight. It took a while, but 6 months, and one very amazing show later, I did it.
10. P.J. is can skank like a pro.
11. There's nothing like a gallon of water you pick up from a gas station after a show to quench your thirst.
There you have it! One heaping plate of blog for ya. Until next time....
Wyatt.
