LIVE AT THE DOWNTOWN
If you're going to see Jim Breuer, you'd think you'd
be laughing your balls off all night. Well, that was
the plan and the only reason I showed up to this
craptastic show.
First off, I gotta air my beef with
The Downtown.
Guy, just because my ID expired don't mean it's not me
anymore. I don't give a fuck what your little scanner
says.
Two: If
your website says "$18 at the door",
then fucking charge me $18. Not $20. Third, if you're
gonna charge me, fine, but charge
EVERYONE. Why did
my buddy get in scott free? Was he cuter? You guys a
bunch of ass pirates?
I don't know WHO the fuck the first band was. The
lead singer must've been very warm, because even
though he was wearing this sweet mesh shirt, he still
just HAD to take it off. The guitarist looked happy
to be there though, I think it was his 12th birthday
or something.
Now, please keep in mind, I didn't attend this event
thinking "Gee whiz, Jim Breuer, he's a friend of the
show, I gotta be there!!" My buddy had given me a
buzz at work and was just like, "Hey man. You wanna
go see Breuer?" That being said, I ran into....yep...you guessed it. STALKER PATTY. Now, I had just seen her at the Hard Rock for the
Mammoths Of Mock show, so now *I* feel like a friggin' stalker. If you and Stalker Patty are in the same place more than once during any 7 day period, you should start to be worried.
RATT, or whoever they were left the stage. And I was ready for Breuer to blow me away. Well, that never went down.
Jim starts getting all preachy, talkin about how the
media controls and brainwashes you. He starts
sharing his political views about the war in Iraq and
I'll tell ya, If it was supposed to be a goof, fine,
but I honestly don't think it was. He was dead
serious. After every song they played there was
virtually no reaction from the crowd so Breuer had to
start a "Lets Go Mets" chant to break the
uncomfortable nothingness. I actually screamed at the
top of my lungs "BE MORE FUNNY!" at one point. I
swear it was retarded. I sat through about half his
set and then decided to just chill at the bar.
Extremely unfunny.
Extremely uninteresting. And please, don't anybody give me shit about "Oh, it wasn't a Breuer show, it was his band's show." Fuck that. I paid to see Jim fucking Breuer be funny, not his grubby middle-aged high school friends trying to lap up a half ounce of fame out of his asscrack.
