Have it…and eat it too
Yes, I am officially all a tingle now. In approximately 33 hours I will be in a seething mass of crazed music fans eagerly anticipating a fine evening of having our ears attuned to those masterful purveyors of witty, smirky, and philosophically absurd geek rock otherwise known as Cake.
I'm a little disappointed in realizing, at this late date, that this is not just going to be Cake, it's a show consisting of several different bands, all of whom I'm not really familiar with. That does explain the overly pricey ticket cost though. *grumble* But, alas, weep not for me as I will get to experience some bands I have no clue about, Flickerstick and Collective Soul. My only real fear is that Cake isn't the headliner and will only be allowed a contrite and insufficient amount of time in which to pleasure my auditory receptors.
Whatever, I plan on having a good time anyway. I've wanted to see Cake live again ever since seeing them...geez...almost five or six years ago. I've been to a number of concerts in my time and I've enjoyed all of them a great deal, I'm a live music slut, but I've found that the more familiar you are with the band the more apt you are to enjoy the show. That said, there have been few bands who I have so readily absorbed as Cake and the odd thing here is that I'm not really sure why. It just is the way it is...and, "I said who am I; To blow against the wind?"
