Left the Stage Smokin, No Pyro


Spent probably 17 hours in the care but the five in the club was so worth it. Needless to say, Weezy was larger than life, shorter than me, and greater than everyone. Brett's account of the show is ace reporting and better than any summary I'd could submit so definitely check that out if you want the deets (and I've got a few more pictures on the flickr that actually turned out pretty decently).

Sometimes you're presented with moments where you have to make a choice and the more you try to keep yourself from doing something irresponsible, the more you realize it's a million times easier to justify the spontaneous, impulsive, gut-instinct than it is to be a square and stay home. This was one of those times. Taking into consideration where Lil' Wayne's career is right now and where I have no doubt it's headed, this may very well have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm happy I took it. And I'm happy these dudes took it with me--they're the only people I know who share my insatiable religious devotion (yes, Eric's shirt says apotheosis) and, as with most things, I'da preferred to go alone than with someone who didn't get it; my car still smells like grubby vegetarians, which is to say balmy and herb-and-spices-y.
