Popularity rank 7 #173. Audience hate = respect

September 18, 2008

JOHN: ...and if you get another guitar, we can even do the thing where we make the audience wait while you switch them.

DAN: Don't they hate that?
JOHN: Audience golden rule: what they HATE, they RESPECT.

DAN: Even that night at Rockwood? That was all... respect.
JOHN: Oh, totally. TOTAL respect.

DAN: Even that old handicapped woman?
JOHN: Well, yeah, you gotta, y'know, read between the fistfights.

Popularity rank 10 #124. Driving to the Malady concert

March 27, 2006

GREG: We're skipping Giant Drag? But they're supposed to be good.
BRETT: Opening bands at expensive shows are a no-win in terms of overall concert experience.

BRETT: If they suck, it sucks. If they're good, the main band is a letdown, and you've just paid $50 to see someone you could see for $5 when they tour on their own.

GREG: Can we at least park? It's making me nervous circling the block....
BRETT: Greg, the proper parking space is KEY to an enjoyable concert experience.

GREG: I just feel like we're casing the joint....
BRETT: You have to consider the pre- and post-show walks... and exit gate proximity is CRUCIAL....
