Blinkin' Green Jimmy
We've never done a concert with the ukazu crew, and I think it's about time. We're signed on for some Dave Matthew's Band action in May, but before that happens, we need to go to the Green Day/Blink 182/Jimmy Eat World concert that's coming April 19 to America West Arena. I can't give these guys high enough billing. In one night three micro-generations of truly energizing musicians are going to share one venue. That's good news; I love one stop shopping and three for one deals.
It does get a little tricky though; unlike the DMB concert, we don't have the advantage of just pulling up some lawn. We've gotta coordinate and buy ourselves some tickets for America West Arena. The tickets go on sale Saturday March 2nd so I'll need word from you by then. The details are summarized below for those of you who haven't been chewing your information carefully. Once you've pushed aside the chaff (no, it's not all chaff) then post your name in the comments and I'll contact you when it's time to buy tickets.
Gotta love the crowd: Just some of the gang. You know, Mark, Travis, Tom, Billie Joe. I think it'll probably just be the 19,023 of us.
What'll go down: Crazyscreamingjumpingdancinglaughingpunkfest. And then we're gonna go to the concert.
Where, exactly: America West Arena. Nothing funny about that.
What time, Sandy?: The concert is Friday, April 19, 2002 at 7:30pm. Tickets go on sale March 2nd.

Duh! Did you even need to ask if I'd go? Brian's going too, that silly no rsvping, electronically-disabled 'tard will be going to.

I don't know if I can make it. But I am definitely jealous. Green Day and Blink don't get down to Mexico very often, or at all for that matter. The kids do listen to the music, however, and always ask me what the songs mean by Blink 182, with the words...sh*t, fu*k, asshole, jackoff, pervert, and many others. I love trying to explain them. I'm like a proud father teaching my kid how to take a hit from a bong. Love you guys.

Of course I'm in! Blink 182 may be the only punk band I know - but maybe that's saying alot right there... wouldn't miss it.
