This is my fourth or fifth Big D and the Kids Table show, and they never disappoint.
Things I liked about the show:
- It was on Halloween.
- Being on Halloween the band came out in full jumpsuits and masks.
- My friend caught one of the jumpsuits that was thrown into the crowd.
- They played almost everything I wanted them to play.
- One of their female back-up singers is pretty damn hot.
- Watching the stage management team struggle to keep kids off the stage.
- My friend being introduced to the cute camera man she was eyeing.
Things I did not like about the show:
- Getting upper-cutted by someone’s shoulder.
- My $90 Addias shoes are ungodly dirty now.
- Fighting to breath in the mosh pits during the popular songs.
- Having one of my friends lose her shoes, resulting in her walk home practically barefoot.
- Having crowd surfers land on you.
- Sweat.
The feeling makes me laugh.
Is so lame…
We tried to order internet for our apartment today online (we are currently leeching our neighbors wi-fi). So we got through the entire process of filling out all the forms. We go to submit our transaction, and then Comcast’s site directs us to a live chat box where I chatted with one of their representatives to “finish the transaction”. Long story short, the residents who lived here before us didn’t pay their Comcast internet bill for the past couple of months. Because of this, we have to go to a Comcast center with a valid ID and proof of our lease before they will allows us to order internet.
Why should we have to suffer for the shortcomings of the previous residents…?
So my friend Alli Skula decided to exercise her imagination the other day about how she was going to go about finding me the perfect girl. As you will soon see, I’m into singers.
The result of this conversation was a good lol.

ALLI: im going to hold tryouts. you’ll come home from work on a sunday, monday, wednesday, friday or saturday and i will be sitting in your room making girls sit on your keyboard in pretty dresses. obviously i will be screaming a lot, “WHAT IS THIS? AMMATURE HOUR? THIS IS MATTHEW WILSON YOU’RE GOING TO BE SINGING FOR STEP IT UP BITCH OR GTFO!”
MATT: haha. No Allison. No swearing before they start singing. If they suck at singing you can swear at them.
ALLI: of course. in that example i was yelling after they tried to sing
duh. and while theyre singing i will be staring at them with my death stare and writing notes on a clipboard
MATT: No no. No death stare.
ALLI: why not? thats no fun
MATT: Let them concentrate.
ALLI: i have to be the crazy director
MATT: You’re a crazy director by default.
ALLI: hahaha i guess
MATT: I GUESS.
ALLI: I GUESS MATT. THATS COOL. JUST RUIN MY ACTIVE IMAGINATION
MATT: haha
ALLI: but yeah. SO, you’ll walk in and be all like, alli wtf? and at that very moment, the girl on the piano will start singing and it will be the most beautiful thing either of us has ever heard and then AND THEN you’ll lock eyes and automatically move to your keyboard and start playing and she’ll be singing and you’ll still be gazing at each other and then when you’re done i’ll stand up, clear my throat, and be like, “well, i guess auditions are done here”. then i’ll wink at you walk out and clear all the skanks out of your apartment and then you and your girlfriend will make music forever and you’ll never have to go to work again because i’ll be all rich and ruling the world so i’ll take care of the two of you
MATT: hahahahahaha “then i’ll wink at you walk out and clear all the skanks out of your apartment”
ALLI: and i’ll make sure you guys perform everywhere
MATT: I just lol’d.
ALLI: and you’ll be the most popular music making couple ever. DONE. like?
MATT: Like.

Walking back from lunch with a co-worker, we stepped onto the escalator and stayed to the right, so people could pass us if need be. Then, some dude came up behind me, seeming impatient and said in an agitated tone, “Excuse me…” I proceeded to shift even further to the right to let him by. He then passed my co-worker and stopped abruptly in front of her, waiting for the escalator to carry him to the top.
We both looked at each other and soundly agreed.
Such an asshole.
The phrase, “Living paycheck to paycheck” is an oxymoron in itself.
If you’re living from paycheck to paycheck you’re not truly living.
The move is complete. We’re all settling in now, mostly unpacked. We’re a bit farther away from work and school than our previous apartment, but we’re in a much nicer area. Our new abode, Somerville boasts a plethora of great restaurants as well as one of the most epic liquor stores we’ve ever come across. What’s even better is that there’s a diner called Kelly’s about three blocks away from us, which has been rating one of the top five diners in New England! My roommates and I love our breakfast food, so Kelly’s will probably be a big reason our wallets are constantly empty…
Now that I’m settled in expect some more of my YouTube videos soon!
My roommates and I moved from East Boston to Somerville today… After six straight hours of packing/lugging/other physical activity, we’re done (and so glad it’s over).
Time to got to bed, however, the excitement doesn’t stop. My friend Max and I are off to Seattle tomorrow for PAX 2010!
