My friend Ben and I have been waiting a month to
see our favorite band in concert. This was the
night. We were so excited. In a small venue
like the Whiskey, there wouldn't be a bad
seat in the house.
So, we get to
the Whiskey really early to find street
parking and snagged a spot about
four blocks away. Then, we got in line which was
already about 20 deep. There were two
bouncers outside of the bar and they
weren't letting anybody in yet. We waited and
waited in line. Finally, the line started to move.
When we got to the head of it, one of the
bouncers checked our tickets and one of
the other employees of the club put a wrist
band on each of us. I guess this was to let
the employees in the bar know that we belonged
there and we weren't crashing the
party.
Anyway, we got inside and tried
to get as close to the stage as possible. There were
already a bunch of people standing in front of the
stage in a special roped-off section.
These were probably VIP’s or maybe
they were groupies. Who knows?
Anyway, I just know that security wasn't letting
anyone get that close.
Before too
long, people started to cheer and I knew that the
opening act was about to come on. This
was a band I’d never heard of before so I wasn't
that excited to hear them. They did come out and
they started played a set. I couldn't believe it. They
were really horrible. The people standing next to
Ben and me started boo-ing the band.
Other people started throwing things on the stage,
like their drinks and their food. After a little while,
the boo-ing got so loud, you could hardly hear the
band. Finally, they finished their song and left the
stage.
The concert-goers were pretty
rowdy by this time. Some were yelling,
others were getting up on top of the bar and
dancing. Just when I thought there was going to be
riot, someone got on the microphone and
started to introduced the headlining band
. All of a sudden, everybody calmed down
and started cheering. The band came on stage and
started their first number. Then, the
room was full of happy campers. Ben
and I were both a little nervous for a second there.
We didn't know if things were going to get out of
hand. But when the band started playing, we knew
that everything would be ok. This was turning out
to be a great night, just like we’d imagined.
