Last Friday, I offered my services to the county of Fairfax, specificly to work at Bud Stage. My favorite music group, They Might Be Giants, was playing there. Through several advancments, I ended up working security for the concert. I was only able to work one day, and I wish I had been available for the other two. I enjoyed listening to the band, as well as controlling limited access sections. This is only my fifth concert of theirs I've attended, but have only had to purchace a ticket for two of those. In previous occasions, I have been on the guest list, rode on the tour bus, and even been a bodyguard for one of the Johns. I've had my share of fun with them, and I look foward to the concert this sunday in Central Park.

Sounds great! I love their inventiveness, and I thought Flood was a terrific album - did you ever try putting "Istanbul Not Constantinople" on a pub's juke-box?
In fact, I think I'll go and play it now...

They didn't pay anything. We don't have pubs here in the states. Well, we do. But they are fake.

No, not minimum wage. But they did play Shoehorn with teeth twice. The first time was normal, with one of the Dans on a glockenspeil. The second time was introduced as "what Shoehorn with Teeth would sound like on a cheap Sony cd player, that has been fast fowarded". They played Shoehorn in 1/4th the normal time, blurring the words. It was a great effect. Hopefully I can video tape them in Central Park Sunday.
