Matisyahu @ BOA Pavillion, tonight 7/7 at 7 pm
Wondering if anyone is down with seeing Matisyahu. Tixs are $30 or more deluxe seats for $35.
He an awesome Hassidic Jew rapper, not that there are a lot of them. Very unique.
I'm a huge fan of his. He raps a positive spiritual message and has a great backing band.
He goes on at 7pm since the second band (jam band) seems to drone on for hours and they wanted to make sure they didn't put everyone to sleep.
Let me know if anyone is interested. I haven't bought tix yet. Playing it by ear.

Greg, did you go ?
got caught up watching the MJ funeral all day with the wife.
CL is craigslist, great resource for day of show tickets, esp when thunderstorms rally thru and people wanna bail last minute.
I made a few phone calls and never heard back. I worked at the Orpheum for years and still know some security and ushers at Great Woods ( comcast ctr) and BoAP. it's usually hit or miss.depends on who's working the door etc.
greg, are you jewish ? just curious ?
Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No, man. I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Yeah, but bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eatin' nothing that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dog eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. A dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well, we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfucking pig. I mean, he'd have to be ten times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm saying?
Vincent: [laughing] That's good.
Umphrey's McGee looks torturous. Some jam bands can be ok, but a bad jam band is worse than a root canal.
I'm so glad those gys are on 2nd. I betcha the place will clear out after Matisyahu.
A couple of my friends went to this show last night.
One of them had a bad reaction to something she took and begged me to come "save her"
I ended up going to make sure she was ok (which she was, by the time I got there she was just memorized by the lights) but I got into the show for free and caught the end of Umphrey's.
Pretty funny to watch a bunch of stoned kids dancing around to mediocre-at-best music.
Love that venue though. I'm going to see the Flaming Lips there in August. Anyone else going to that show?

ilya, that's pretty funny. was this something gleb set her up with ?some sillyniss ?
I was at the flaming lips there a few years ago.
what a trip !
last minute, a buddy had a chick back out on him and he hooked me up. I knew nothing about the band but my buddy knows good music and promised I was enjoy it alot, which I did.
The balloons, the costumes , peoples eyes buggin out all over.
I'd do it again but wanna get "mentally prepared" this time
you might remember She Don't Use Jelly
this is hilarious

edit: "Umphrey's McGee looks torturous"
this cover of Dick in a Box is pretty funny tho
ill be at the flaming lips show. never seen them but ive been a fan for years, i hear they put on a pretty good/crazy show. and bring some of whatever your friend took....sounds like fun to me. lol.
awww crap, I was so excited for a second that they were coming, then I checked the date and it's on the day of a wedding. CRAP!
I saw them last time... freaking awesome. They played some awesome old song like war pigs or ironman or something. I don't think they can use the big ball at that venue. But it still kicked ass. They had like 30 alien girls dancing on the stage with them for half the set. Some were dressed in purple, the others like santa's elves. No, I was not on drugs.
Seriously, I wasn't on drugs.
Seriously, I wasn't on drugs.
it'd be a lot cooler if you were ; )
I wasn't either....... : (
Surfer Dude was on the other night, good stuff
classic
unique show for sure !
