Saw MC Chris last night with my owner and our friends Francis and Josh. The show seemed mellow to me. I didn’t notice all that much crowd energy. I wonder if MC Chris felt the same. However, the crowd was a little pumped waiting for him to come out and when he finally did, no one said anything. I think most of them thought he was a roadie or something. Josh screamed out “YEAAH!” and someone said something like, “Why’s he cheering? It’s just some dude up there..” Some dude? It was MC Chris himself, you dumbass. He was probably a Pinback fan.
MC Chris was wearing a Knott’s Berryfarm hoodie since he hit that place up earlier this week before his San Diego shows. I was stoked that he was finally playing one of my favorite songs, “Robot Dog” but halfway through the song he forgot the words. He kept backing up the track and trying again but eventually gave up and skipped to the next song. It made me a sad little turkey.
After the show we got pics with him. My owner handed me to MC Chris and he thought I was a gift at first. I would be a pretty crappy gift in the eyes of most people in my opinion… He then realized that I just wanted a picture with him. I didn’t stay for Pinback. I meant to at least watch one song but I guess we were all in a strange daze after seeing and talking to our nerd leader, MC Chris so we headed out. There’s always the Avalon show on the 21st.
Ended the night with hot dogs/chili dogs at The Hat and then the comedy of Patton Oswalt on DVD.
