Flogging Molly
music, pictures, Portland, recording September 16th, 2009I went to see Flogging Molly last night, for the first time, and I have to say that it was the most fun show I’ve ever been to. I’ve never danced so much, or sweated so much before. I was wearing three layers of shirts (undershirt and the T-shirt I was wearing, plus the FM T-shirt I bought last night) and they were all drenched by my own sweat and that of a myriad of other people. Even my jeans were soaked clear through. It was a total blast. My friends and I were about four or five rows from the front, just to the left of center, and just on the edge of the mosh pit. It was the perfect spot.
A different friend who came on her own (we weren’t able to find each other at the show) was brave enough to bring her camera and take a couple of pictures, and here they are.
She was to the right of me, and a tiny bit further back, but it seems like she had a better view.
She must have walked around a bit, because this was about what my view was like.  After I told her where I was, she sent me this picture and said there’s a decent chance I may be in it, based on my description. So I like to think I’m in there somewhere. :)
Man, I really smell horrible today, after the sweat-a-thon show last night. I can smell myself as I’m sitting here. I need to go take a shower now. Yeesh.
IrishBand is playing a show down in StateCapitol tonight, for the first time, and we’re very much looking forward to it.
In other news, i may be getting a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder this weekend, for all of the archiving of Iron Horse (my first band) songs on my computer. Very exciting! How 1989 of me. Hey, if it’s good enough for DJ Shadow, it’s certainly good enough for Iron Horse.
