So I went a 100 gecs concert.

They are a group I discovered recently. I saw they were coming to Hard Rock Live down at Universal Orlando. I wanted to go. I didn't think she would want to go with me. I felt weird going by myself. Well, not weird going by myself. I was perfectly comfortable going by myself. I guess I felt weird revealing myself to her as being willing to go by myself. I have played some of their songs for her and the kids. I think she thought some of them were good. But I could tell this wouldn't be something she would want to go to. I asked. She said no. I said I'd go by myself. She said that was weird.

She is always doing things. Hey, what are your plans for Thursday? Can you handle soccer practice and dinner with the kids? I am going out with this friend or coworker or whoever. It's fine. I don't mind. More than that, it's good. I relish my time with the kids. And she and I should have our own things. My own things end up being things I do on my own like running or listening to music.

I say she's always doing things, but it's more like once or twice a month. Maybe three times. Rarely three times. It's like 1.5 times per month on average. It's great. She has friends. I don't have friends. Well, I have my friends from high school in Youngstown or college in Cincinnati or grad school and various places in Florida that if we went out for drinks would we have a great time. Or if I called them and said I needed to talk about something important, they would drop everything and call me. But I never need to talk about anything important. I get along great with my coworkers and her friends' husbands and other dads on my kids' soccer teams, but I don't hang out with them on my own. I am living the cliche I noticed my dad and the other dads around me living when I was a kid.

So she is totally supportive that I do things. If I said I am going to have dinner with a friend on a Thursday and asked if she could cover soccer practice and dinner with the kids, she would enthusiastically say yes. So I asked if she could manage soccer practice and dinner for the kids last Thursday so I could go to the 100 gecs show. And she said it was weird but said yes. So I went.

Parking at Universal is the same for theme parks as for the City Walk which is where Hard Rock Live is located. Pulling into the parking structure around 7:30p, a half hour before the opener was scheduled to go on, I was obviously arriving at a similar time to others attending the show. I chuckled to myself a few times taking the 20 or so minute walk from my car to the venue, seeing tourist families dressed as superheroes and minions walking next to gecs fans dressed as frogs and goths.

After getting through the doors, using the restroom, getting myself a $13 pre-tip large Heineken draft, I got to the main floor right at 8p as the opening act, Machine Girl, took the stage. I was a near the bar at the back, in an elevated section behind the bands' tech crew with mixing boards and whatever, in the second row of standing room folks with a good view. I had planned on navigating the place for a while before settling in, but this spot was pretty good and I ended up sticking near here.

Machine Girl was (were?) insanely loud. Glad I brought earplugs. Kept them on for the entirety of their 30 minute set. Not sure which genre you'd call their music, and scrolling through their albums on Apple Music isn't particularly helpful since each one is categorized as something else. Call them electronic non-dance if you will. They were fine. The lead singer certainly got into it, good for him, he seemed to be enjoying himself.

Gecs went on just after 9p and I was now against the railing in the front row of that standing room section, as the people in front of me vacated their spots between sets, so I stayed there for the duration. I had finished my beer before they started, so I'd thought for a moment of moving up into that crowd but decided against that because my view was so good.

Part of me going to this show--and maybe trying to go to more shows by myself if she isn't interested--is to recapture a bit of my youth if I'm being honest. I similarly tried to recapture my youth 10 years ago was with Sleigh Bells. I saw them on SNL, playing songs from their 2nd album, thinking they were original and cool. I listened to their 2 albums non-stop (already feeling late the party being one album behind and 10 years too old, with 2 young kids at home and one on the way). Less than a year later, we moved to Orlando and they released a 3rd album and we went to their show. We sat in a couch in a "VIP" area. I wished I could get up and dance but she wasn't as into it so I stayed seated. Looking back I can't believe how old I felt 10 years ago. 10 years from now I will probably feel the same looking back on myself now.

So I didn't go out into the crowd at the gecs show and dance but at least I went to the show. They played all the songs from their new album. They opened with "Dumbest Girl Alive" and "757." I thought the energy was highest for "Hollywood Baby" about midway through, they should probably close with that. "Frog on the Floor" and "I Got My Tooth Removed" were crowd favorites too. The played plenty of old stuff too, otherwise they couldn't fill an hour. I have just listened to their new album so much, I was able to identify each of those 10 songs. The latest of the new songs was "mememe," sandwiched in between a few of their older songs. I think they would have sounded better with a live band but I'm old so of course I would say that. But they only have to split the money 2 ways, so good for them.

I dunno, I'd like to start going to more shows. My ears took a few days to recover despite the earplugs. Part of me daydreamed that I'd talk to some people and start to make Orlando friends to go see live music with, but I didn't talk to anyone. I probably could have struck up some conversations with the people around me between sets. But that's when I was hit with a tinge of feeling weird, the standing there by myself as a the old guy at the show who came by himself. The going there, the getting in, that didn't feel weird. That 30 minutes between sets I felt weird standing their as the old guy. But I moved to the music when they played and even sang along to a some of my favorite lyrics. So I enjoyed myself. I probably would have drank more but I didn't want to lose my spot.

She would go with me to nearly anything if we had seats. So I need to plan accordingly on that for some of the mellower bands I like. We could get dinner first and make a date out of it. We'd both like it. She doesn't like the standing in the crowd thing. It's weird though, I think she likes dancing more than me, we just don't dance together. We used to in college. But not now. I think we'd both like to dance together more but don't know how to talk about it.

So I went to a 100 gecs concert and maybe that's the start of something.

Some highlights from the 100 gecs concert in Orlando, FL (5/11/23)

-The crowd booing the union jack/cheering for the Trans Pride flag.

-The vocalist of the opening act, Machine Girl, said that after the show they would challenge Ron Desantis to a steel cage match, kill him and then, as per florida law, become the new governor.

-a roadie wearing a Burger King paper crown came onstage, the crowd chanted “BURGER KING” at which point the roadie took a graceful bow.

-A woman in the crowd watching family guy on her phone in between sets.

-Laura saying she lost big “betting it all on red” before they played stupid horse.

-Laura jamming on an electric guitar while Dylan played some strange bowed instrument (that I believe was used for sound effects in 50s horror movies.)

-Laura saying “fuck Ron Desantis.”

Lan Wangji might be an unstoppable force, but Xie Lian has 800+ years of practice of being an immovable object.

(poll results here for context)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #bonus comic #The most resounding conclusion the community came to agree on is thar Xie Lian is bad at cooking on purpose #and is stubborn to the point of refusing to let go of this feature (not a bug) of himself. #though if you practice being bad at something on purpose you do just…get bad. #Poor lan wangji probably had to watch him do horrendous food crimes in the kitchen. #crushing eggs in his fists and throwing it into the bowl or pan (shell and all). #Burning water. Throwing in ingredients based on the roll of a dice. Putting in leaves and cool rocks he found. #He is living his best life mind you. And I think as long as he is happy then let him make his potions. #This is *his* version of art therapy. It just shouldnt be fed to anyone. #lwj would probably try to make it more theraputic after realizing that the bad cooking skills were on purpose. But even then XL is a rock. #he will not do anything he does not want to. Including processing feelings. #Don't idealize that btw. You will do yourself no favours by ignoring hard emotions. Love and peace everypony; Its a hard world out there. #Hua Cheng and wwx hung out during all of this and have since become hunting buddies. #Sometimes its birds sometimes it's each other. For sport.

So we went to a Men I Trust concert.

I started looking for something for us to do together after going to the 100 gecs concert by myself. Noticed Men I Trust were coming to Hard Rock Live on June 16, a Friday night halfway between the end of school and our early July getaway, figured it'd be the perfect timing for a summer date night. Made dinner reservations at Cowfish Burger, a CityWalk restaurant that seemed interesting we hadn't been to be before. We could have a touristy night: dinner, concert, maybe late night donuts at Voodoo on the walk back to the car.

I had never heard of Men I Trust, so I listened to their most recent album. It was fine--listentable enough to buy tickets and put my tourist date night plan into action. Ended up listening to two more of their albums. They were fine too, sounded good, tried to find standout songs, but they all sort of ran together. But I'd play them while I worked, good background music, like halfway between alternative and lofi hip hop, maybe lofi hip hop with smooth feminine vocal on it. Not sure how this would be a live music experience, but she wouldn't care, we'd have a night out, and I got us balcony seats, so we could sit and relax.

We drove down to Universal after work on Friday. Parked in Jurassic Park 406. Took the numerous escalators and moving walkways, through the metal detectors, past all sorts of tourists taking pictures of seemingly nothing. Restaurant check-in was weird, but we got in. They asked us if we wanting inside or outside in the covered area or first available. We picked first available. Got sat outside and regretted it because it was just hot enough to be annoying. But the food was interesting and good enough. Neither of us is drinking right now which makes dinners out weird for me but cheaper.

Walked over the Hard Rock in plenty of time. Two times in a row now I tell myself I don't care if I miss the opening act, but two times in a row I'm there in time to see the opening act start. They didn't sound good. They sounded bad enough for me to worry about a) not bringing ear plugs because they were strangely too loud and b) the overall quality of Men I Trust not being good enough to have this bad of an opening act. Neither concern ended up being an issue as Men I Trust ended up not being too loud and they sounded great.

The opening act stopped their second song midway because someone in the audience passed out. This was weird, everyone was concerned. We looked at each other and said to ourselves, how crazy is this? But then it happened two more times during the opening act and another three times during Men I Trust. Men I Trust handled it better than the opening act. My hypothesis is it was young people waiting for hours in the Central Florida heat for the doors to open, then rushing to the stage to get their spot, standing there for additional hours, completely forgetting about drinking water.

The audience was pretty normal. Not alternative music concert normal but normal normal. Normal clothes. Lots of teenagers I think. Seated in front of was were two unrelated pairs of mother-child combos, one with her daughter, one with her son. One mom looked to be maybe 5 years older than us, the other mom looked to be 10-15 years older than us. No idea how old each of the kids were, maybe 16 to 25? Lots of regular looking people in their 20s and 30s. There was one guy who had his short-sleeved button-up shirt unbuttoned, showing of his huge belly.

Men I Trust sounded really, really good. We were surprised they were sort of a jam bad. There were five of them, spaced the stage in symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing formation. Emma sang and played guitar, positioned centrally upfront. There was another guitar player, a bass player, drummer and someone on keyboards. All guys but for Emma. Again, they jammed. They seemed to be enjoying themselves.

I recognized some songs that I'd saved on playlists that I liked, like "Sugar" and "Oh Dove." A few others stood out that I added to playlists, like "Show Me How" and "Tailwhip" and "I Hope to be Around." (I only listed 5 songs, but I search YouTube for links and the band has made music videos for all 5 of them, which has to say something about them.) I don't know what to make of this music. It's good, it's inoffensive, when I need something on for sound, it works. I've been playing them a lot in the days after the show, I wonder how long it will last because the individual songs still don't stand out much.

After the show we walk out into the Central Florida night. Sun is down so the heat is gone. Walk past Voodoo. There's a long line for donuts, she says nah, we keep walking. You tend to make better decision when you're not drinking alcohol. I wonder how long I'll keep this up. Back home to the suburbs at the reasonable hour of 11 or 11:30, kids still up playing video games. Go to bed happy that I gave myself the day off the next day from running.

So we went to a Men I Trust concert and that's two consecutive months of seeing live music.
