see MC Chris live

meh.

At first I wasn’t feeling all that great, but it wasn’t long before I was sweaty and dancing and screaming Robotussin, but it was when he finally did Fett’s ‘Vette at the end of the show that I really lost it. I’d go see him again tonight if I could.

“My backpack’s got jets
Well I’m Boba the Fett
Well I bounty hunt for Jabba the Hutt
To finance my ‘Vette

Well I chill in deep space
A mask is over my face
Well I deliver the prize
But I still narrow my eyes
‘Cause my time
I don’t like to waste.”

It was an excellent night with friends I haven’t seen in a while. We drank and danced and decided any good cutdown should be followed by “Jordan!” in your best Marv Albert voice. Why? I’m not quite sure, but it worked. And it stuck.

I love music, and if it’s fun music that allows me to revel in all my nerd knowledge, it’s even better.

I saw MC Chris on Saturday night. In spite of the insane schedule cramming I had to do, it was totally worth it. In addition to being extremely entertaining, he was a class-act all the way. He hung around after the show and talked with people and signed stuff. I think the audience was a little too mellow, but that was probably because my ex-roommate Lex was drunkenly yelling at everyone to get more excited. He couldn’t have designed a better way to get the crowd all sullen. At one point, MC Chris actually pointed at him directly and said “Shut the fuck up! No, seriously, you’re obnoxious, just shut the fuck up!” Does that go against what I just said about him being a class act? Having yelled at drunken Lex many, many times over the months he lived with me, I can say I felt a little vindicated. Yes indeed, awesome show.
