Are we not men?(No, actually I'm a girl)

I saw Devo on Saturday along with a bunch of Paul Green's School of Rock kids who were playing as well. I wish I could play half as well as most of the people that played. I'm working on it. I've actually been able to tab out the introduction for "When the Day Met the Night" and "Honey." Now, if only I could learn how to play all of the introduction to "Honey" without screwing up. Just because I have it written down does not mean I have it memorized. Oh wells.

Back to the concert, I learned a bunch of things there:
a) People mosh to Devo. Who would have guessed? (DON'T. ANSWER. THAT.) I ended up in a few of the mosh pits. I've never moshed before (I'm such a wimp) so I didn't know what the hell was going on or what the hell I should be doing. I just tried to avoid them (back to the "wimp" theory...)
b) Devo fans are scary. Really scary. I have my obsessions(and trust me, they are OBSESSIONS), but if you're obsessed with Devo, the way some of the fans at the concert are/were, it's frightening.
c) If you wait in the parking lot you might meet the band. Okay, so I didn't meet the entire band, but I met *please hold, while I look up his name (shows how much I know about them...Grr, now I feel bad that I didn't know it)* Mark Mothersbaugh.
d) Mark Mothersbaugh wrote The Rugrats' theme song. How cool is that? (My dad told me that when he picked me up from the concert.)

Speaking of concerts, I went to two concerts this past month. That's a new record for me. I normally go to one or two concerts per year. It is a nice change of pace.
