can i vent for a minute?
i've been thinking about this off and on since saturday night and i feel like i just need to get it off my chest:
raleigh people are irritating
there. i feel better.
at the wusses show saturday night at kings i encountered some of the most obnoxious, disrespectful people i've had the pleasure to witness. these raleigh people were shouting drunkenly, not caring that non-raleigh people were trying to listen to the music. (and very good music, at that!) they were obnoxiously disregarding the concept of personal space -- i got roughly jostled and bumped countless times, and beer spilled on my shoes twice. and i was wearing flip-flops.
charo even got ashed on. i saw what looked like dandruff on her shirt and when i flicked it off her shoulders she scowled and said that the person who stood behind where she was sitting had decided to use her back as an ashtray.
i see shows in raleigh too infrequently for me to really make a statement like "raleigh people are irritating" and have it actually mean anything, but honestly -- i never see durham crowds acting like that. or chapel hill crowds, even. (sleazefest excepted.)

I hate Raleigh. I have to go there every day for work. I's a crappy place. I love Durham.
Posted by: Lisa B at July 13, 2005 08:53 AMThe Sleazefest crowds all* seem to be from out of town. I remember the last one I went to, it seemed like all the rockabilly girls in push-up bras and interesting outfits had laminates and were from Atlanta or elsewhere. "So who here has actually paid, other than me?" I wondered.
*my sample size of three Sleazefests. Perhaps others were more locally attended, but I still get the feeling that most of the crowds are from other places.
Posted by: pinky at July 13, 2005 10:17 AMthe only good thing about Raleigh is the flea market on Saturdays. other than that i like to pretend we have another state capital and all the cartographers just haven't caught on yet.
