California - The sunny (pot) state!
Tuesday, 15. May 2007, 06:49:06
I just came back from a concert at Cox Arena at SDSU. The main attraction was Modest Mouse (never heard about them until this morning), and the music was really good! I enjoyed it a lot! But what was weird was that there was a constant smell of pot everywhere... I know I'm in California, but I didn't expect people to actually smoke pot inside a huge (indoor) sports arena. 
I saw joints, bongs, you name it! It even looked like the band was enjoying some on stage! The security guards didn't seem to take any notice of anything. Another thing that got to me was the mosh pit. Never seen that before! It looked pretty violent!
One of the support bands was Man Man. We just arrived while they were playing, and what was really weird, is that the music was so similar to Kaizers Orchestra, a Norwegian band. I wasn't the only one noticing it. We were wondering if they were actually copying their style!
Well, it was a fun night, no doubt about it!
Now all I have to do is wait for the next concert I'm going to: Tesla at House of Blues here in San Diego 11. June! Yeah!!!
Edit:
I forgot to mention one cool thing that happened at the concert. There's this nice restaurant at Pacific Beach here in San Diego, which have the best burritos I've ever had. It's called Chipotle, and you can find it in many states. Anyway, my colleagues and I eat lunch there from time to time, so I recognize some of the people working there. So, we were at the concert last night, waiting for Modest Mouse to start, when I suddenly noticed that one of the guys working at Chipotle was there, standing a couple of meters away. He eventualy came over, introduced himself, and said that he recognized us. It all ended up with me getting a coupon for a free burrito there!
After he left, we were like "is it a good thing when people who work at fast food restaurants recognize you? or not?"... After all, this is America, the land of the fast food! On our way to the concert we were actually discussing what was American cuisine, and my guess was fast food and BBQ!
