And you had the nuts to come up and tell me, "anonymous"? :) Why didn't you get off your lazy ass and try to make a situation better instead of turning into a whiner?
You enable bad behavior by sitting there like an ass.

Boys, boys, boys-no need to squabble... At this point, there are so many retards in my life I could open a mental institution.
Monks-thanks for giving me my propers, but as they say, it's all in a days work. Today, Mike Gordon... Tomorrow, THE WORLD!!!

you needed no enablement my friend, we all tried hinting at you to keep it down but you were too far gone. I speak for the entire 9:30 club (minus the few boys that we tried to convince to get you to dance in hopes that would keep you distraced enough that we could enjoy the show in silence) and therefore I chose to post this anonymously. In the future, keep in mind that a little consideration for others and a little awareness of your surroundings go a long way ;)

Kudos to you Rook. I still luv ya even if you call me a retard - in fact, it's probably what defines me as a retard.
My official explanation for my clapping was I was inspired by the "Clapper" - I just wanted to see if I could shut off the PA. It didn't work.
Anonymous, you're right. I was drunker than I've been in awhile and didn't eat first. As soon as I realized I was being an ass, I stopped. Still, unless I was REALLY gone, I remember exactly one person approaching me about my antics, the staffer, who was very nice. I do apologize, I just really had no idea the scale to which I was upstaging the main act. Also, for the record, I was hugging exactly one girl. I keep hearing these multiples come up and unless I blacked out, the whole incident wasn't even that long-lived and didn't involve that many people. I guess the tape will tell us the truth, I've got to be immortalized on someone's AUD minidisc. Maybe there's video out there!
Having accepted full responsibility for my lapse, the 930 is smaller than it looks and I've never seen chairs in the mosh pit before. In fact that just screams "bad idea". I've never had the power to eff up a show singlehandedly before. But the last band I saw there was Mission of Burma, punk rockers from Boston. I'm used to loud shows there and those walls were meant for echoing. It would have been a different story in some place like the State Theatre. And it probably would have been even more different if I wasn't wolfing down manhattans before the show. :)
Peace. FWIW, know that if I'm ever being oblivious like that again, I am always open to people asking me to contain myself, I don't like stomping on people's good time. And by the way, I'm a lead singer, why not come razz me at my next show? :) I'll laugh, I promise.

I want one of those school busses!! Except I wanna gut the insides, cover the whole thing (incl. the ceiling) with shag carpeting, and hook it up with a nice futon (or three), and a killer multimedia system... como se dice...los pimpos?!?

FF-when was the last time you went to school? I mean seriously, I hate to blow up your spot, but it has to be at least ten years since you graduated COLLEGE, right?
