Maurice Clarret to have gay marriage, enter NFL draft early on same day,
thereby pissing off every conservative in he country
What a month for change. In the small world of sports, the NFL finally lost
its free minor league of college football, when common sense prevailed and
said that Clarret can enter the draft now, instead of waiting for 3 years past
high school. I really don’t care for the NCAA, so this is fun to see.
In the bigger news of change, San Fran is the first city to realize that
separate but equal isn’t good enough. Churches can do what they want with gay
marriage (1st amendment swings both ways), but there is no reason the state
should deny people the right to marry. People don’t see the irony in
Congressmen on their 3rd marriage trying to “protect” its sanctity. So SF
just said, ‘Come on over, we’re giving out licenses’, very cool.
Which brings me to today’s hot Internet trend, ordering flowers from San Fran
shops and having them delivered to couples standing in line. Here
is the blog that started it, phone numbers of local shops are in there. I
don’t have the bling to donate, so I’ll just try to get the word out.

The zen of General Admission Concerts, or how I stopped worrying and
learned to love Freebird.
Howie Day @ Waterstreet, awesome show.
Great mix of old and new (and really new) songs. The encore was the shit,
three awesome songs off of austrailia (Ghost, Everything Else, Slow Down).
Full band definetly gets the thumbs up.
On to the crux of this musing, how to enjoy what is possibly the worst
possible setting for a concert, the General Admission show. Yes, there will
be drunk assholes, yess there will be pushing, and you will definely be
dismayed at the number of high schoolers who have .found. your fav. Band (I
was). But you must realize that there’s no way around these things, you can’t
say you like concerts but then say you hate these things, you gotta pick. I
used to be the pissed off guy that shot looks at anyone who wrecked my
experience, but I figured out that short of me and the LST’ers getting tasers,
I was spending more time being pissed at the crowd then enjoying the music. I
wish I was watching Howie at a coffee shop too, but these things happen.
Now if only I can get my zen down with shitty opening bands, then I’ll be all
set.
