saturday dave, heather, and i went to the best concert ever, inland invasion 5, here in socal. it was friggin awesome! i finally got to see weezer and 311. i want to go see weezer and the foo fighters now. i gotta find where they’re playin..

the lineup included:
Kasabian <- who? missed.
Fishbone <- missed
Bloc Party <- pretty good. couldn’t see, but heard while we were in line.
Travis Barker & DJ AM <- travis played the hell out of his drums for 20 minutes while AM scratched. not bad.
Bravery <- meh
The Arcade Fire <- meh
Garbage <- awesome!
Jet <- ok. very high pitched and too much flat out screaming from the frontman. way more than the cd. got annoying, even though i really like the album.
Live <- not bad. did all the songs i knew from high school
Madness <- not bad! i only knew the one song.. "our house… in the middle of our street.."
311 <- great show! love them! played all the good [popular] songs, including their ‘love song’ cover, which was simply amazing!
Beck <- meh
Weezer <- high point of the night!! sang big me by the foo fighters!! River did an acoustic Surf Wax America, scott sang only in dreams, pat sang buddy holly while river drummed. then some lucky bastard got to go on stage and play guitar for undone. best show of the concert!
Oasis <- we left after weezer. i didn’t feel like watching them suck and argue.
Cake <- wouldn’t have minded them.. but they arrived way late and got bumped to last.

anyway, no good pics of the concert cause even though i tried to sneak my camera in, they found it. lame. had to take it back to the car. did get a couple crappy pics with my cell phone stage from the top of the grass.

when it went dark i heard the t-shirt guy yelling "t-shirt’s, five bucks!" so i ran over and got dave and I each an Inland Invasion 5 t-shirt [the trick is to wait near the end of the show, and prices go down]. i also got a nice sunburn for free .

saw this in the parking lot.

this morning we went to the LA County Fair, which was friggin huge! walked around for hours…

shook hands with a monkey… saw a ton of goats. was hoping to see some fainting goats.. but, no luck. found out where t-shirts come from… now you know. "what’s a nubian?"

overall, it was an awesome weekend. i had a great time chillin on the grass at glen helen pavilion. at lots of over-priced food, and took many naps. then, we came home 1730, and i immediatly had to go to work till 2230. :[
