Seether Geezer

  North + South America Thursday, November 11th • 7pm MST It's November!  I was pushing it with October, but I can hardly call November "Summer".  Well, I'm not going to call this "The Fall of Seether".  That sounds a bit dire and also too close to "The Fall of Caesar."  Small tangent, I'm doing some transcription of interviews with the band, since the earliest ones seem to be disappearing from the Internet. I use the captions feature to help out and it's amazing the variety of interpretations for "Seether".  Caesar.  Shawntel Seaver which is actually "Shaun and Dale from Seether" Sirvir.  I won't even get started with what captions does with Dale and Shaun's South African accents. My last concert of the year will be the film from the Ace of Spades concert in Sacramento.  I saw a small clip of it and although I have heard the performance in person, I will be able to hear what the band is talking about between the...

  N ow here's the real thing.  D id I ever tell you I'm known in my family for not being able to find my way out of a paper bag.  Now here's a great example.  We are driving down the freeway with the bossy Google Maps lady telling me (and showing me) where to go.  I got my husband helping the Google Lady tell me where to go.  I'm supposed to get off on the exit for Q street.  And I miss it.  Now, remember, I did a practice drive just yesterday.  Shit!  I missed the exit.  Google Maps Lady recalculates and tries to get me back to where I need to be.  Well, I should have made my destination the parking garage because she got me on R street, but it's one way and I can't turn that way. Shut up Google Maps Lady!  Now I got my husband.  "Where are you going?!"  "Don't go that way, it's one way the other way."  "Go!  You are holding up traffic."  "There's no one behind me!"  "There is now." Flipping ...

I keep getting emails to remind me I'm seeing Seether tonight.  How well they don't know me.  I've been anticipating this ever since I bought the tickets August 12th.  Like there is any way I'd forget to go.  We have tickets, fast lane and parking.  So, I was looking at tickets for The Hue and saw they were GA, General Admission standing only, and I though, hmm, weren't the Ace of Spades tickets GA?  Well, yes they are.  I emailed the venue essentially saying we are somewhat old and somewhat chubby and needed seats.  A very nice man named Michael set us up and now we can rest our older bones, sore knees and fat buts on the chairs.  All this is new to me, since before this year the last concert I went to was Sting in 1996. We were late, because I mistook the start time, and the venue was down a winding mountain highway that took forever to get to because everyone else was driving there too.  Heard the last song and were trapped for four h...

I  think I must have been a little melancholy yesterday or full of myself.  40,000 people at a festival.  That makes me 0.0025% of the day's population.  I will be caring about : 1. My husband.  Will his bad knee hold out walking around the festival. 2. Where is the closest bathroom. 3. Seeing Seether.   4. Listening to music that is Not Seether.  5. The 39,998 other people, where they are from, what tattoos, if any, they have so we can admire each other's artwork, what bands they like.  As Seether sings, "Cause nobody gives a fuck."  In this case, that's a good thing. When I'm coming home from the festival, that will be my fourth Seether concert in the last 6 weeks and my fourth Seether concert ever.  I've been following everyone's comments over the summer as you all comment on the shows,  " On my way to the Myrtle Beach Show last Thursday. THEY KICKED ASS!!" " Had a great time in Tampa. Seether was heavy." " I love them liv...
