Hank Williams III @ the Meredian 3-15-06
Kixette, Sister Kelly and I were supposed to meet up @ Mai's before the show but as usual, Sister Kelly didn't show up until after we had left...suppose she was running late again? I can only imagine. We had a one beer each and had some mighty fine Vietnamese food before we headed to the show which was at the Meredian, about 5 minutes away. Kixette had bought me a ticket for my birthday present (Thanks again, Kixette...in case I forgot) and we arrived early but I think we were both so excited about being there, to sit at home until it was time to leave would've been too much for both of us. I could hardly work that afternoon and made sure that I left from work at exactly 5PM so I'd have time to go home, change clothes and make it to Mai's by 7 PM. I think I got there early because I was so wound up!!! After we ate, we headed over to the Meredian. We (Kixette and silencenashvegas) met up with some members from the cussin' board, SlashW, WhiskeyMama, Bigdad, SuperDave, ChouChou, Paddylonglegs, RedneckGirl, Texas Boy 6, Rena, Swine70, Scott H. Biram's parents, and Sister Kelly. I ran into a couple others that I didn't expect to see there Marsha & Joshua...
Bob Wayne & the Outlaw Carnies were the opening band.
http://www.myspace.com/bobwayneandtheoutlawcarnies I kinda liked a few of their songs but so many people that I know rave about them, it might have been the sheer excitement of seeing III that made me want them to hurry up and get off of the stage. I think they might have played 45 minutes and that was long enough. I wanted to see III!!! RedneckGirl convinced several of us that we needed to be right in front of the stage and that there were some "young" guys saving places for us since she had bought them beer. (ha...what a laugh) We took off through the crowd (5of us) with her in the lead. Sister K & I got separated from them but where we were was not a nice place. Have you ever been in a mosh pit? The 20-something crowd for some strange reason thinks it's cool to mosh during the country set of III's show. Now I know that any of my readers might know of my past where the mosh pit is concerned. I used to go see every band that drew that type of crowd for years until I went to jail before a Pantera concert for having a joint in my purse. My whole "music" life and view of "arena" music change at that point and I did a 180 and started listening to country music...not that top 40 "nashvegas" crap they play on the radio either. OK...OK...I'm babbling/rambling again...back to the original story. Sister K and I were on the edge of the pit and someone was playing grab-ass with me. Imagine that? A 20-something grabbing a "grandma's" ass... I stayed there for maybe 2 songs and then I parted the crowd with an evil look (there was pushing involved also) and got out of there. Sister K had already started to grab the "boys" by their shaved bald heads and was pushing them and I knew from experience that this would cause me to get in a fight and I didn't feel like getting "thrown out of the gawddamn bar". The rest of the night I moved around in different places trying to get a good view of what was going on on-stage. Damn!!! III puts on one helluva show!!! Kixette managed to take a few pics eventhough the pit was bad there also. Rena managed to get in a fight...seems she grabbed some bitch by the throat for getting in RedneckGirls face. Luckily, the bouncer liked her and did not throw her out of the "gawddamn bar". If Shelton Hank Williams passes through your town, try to make it out to see him. He puts on one helluva show but beware of the pit. It's not a nice place...
