Low Profile live at Lot 4 in Chicago Ridge
with She Likes Todd
Saturday Oct 7th
we tried to meet up at Rob’s at 7. but the River Grove Fall parade was goin on and i got stuck in major traffic and Rob lives houses away from the festivities so i couldn’t get there till like 7:45. there was nothing i could do about it but wait it out so i tried to make the best of it. smoked a bowl, put on good music, tried to relax. i even thought about parking the van and go walk up to actually watch some of the parade.
so we left later then expected but it didn’t matter anyways cuz we got the Lot 4 pretty quick and were still there super early. so to fill the time, we drank. of course Metko the #1 roadie came thru once again.
the Miller Lite referee chicks showed up and we had fun with them. Satan mostly annoyed them for free beer which they kept saying they didn’t have access to. but they hooked him up before they left. check out this chick. she was like 4’9 and looked like a hot lil porn star. she was running some crazy computer clipboard thing that had a survey in it and then had a built in camera. they took our pics and made stupid lil ‘man rule’ IDs with them. they raffled off Bears tickets for Sundays game but no one we knew won which sucked. i wanted em. i asked Natalie the cute bartender if she wanted to go with me to the Bears game if i won and she snapped some comment about her lame boyfriend. total turnoff. and no tip for you !!!!!!
so we played some pool and drank more. She Likes Todd started around 10 or so. they were really good. 3 piece, tight punk rock. a very good mix to play with us. we’ll have to set up more shows with these guys.
we played second. our set was:

it was a good, tight, sweaty set. i played the cordless to full effect and ran around all over. i even ran outside and kept jamming out in the parking lot. i could hear the song fine so just kept jamming along. some Mexican dudes were coming in to the club and were banging their heads and giving me the horns on their way in. it was awesome. i ran up to a pool table where some nerdy dude was racking the balls up and i got in his face. he tried to ignore me but i wouldn’t allow that. i got closer into his face and stared him down. so he finally looked up at me and gave me the thumbs up. i wasn’t satisfied with his reaction but decided to leave him alone. i wanted to jump up on his pool table and kick the balls all over the place but my conscience kicked in a lil i guess. anyways, it was fun.
later on we went out back to smoke up with Mark 4 who booked us. Metko and I climbed up on the roof. it was pretty awesome. when Satan asked how we would climb onto the roof, i just looked over at the fence and said that i’d climb up the fence and onto the roof off of the fence. Metko said he’d take the ‘hard’ way. he shimmied across some wooden arch thing and onto the roof. it was crazy watching him. most people would get real nervous cuz we were drunk and all but it’s special agent Metko. he’s had crazy military training with shit like this. and this was nothing. u just gotta let him have his fun. and trust me, it’s fun watching him.
so they were kicking people out and we went to some other bar that Jim knew of. we drank there for about another hour. Metko and i went and watched the girls dance on the dancefloor. we left after that and dropped Jim off. after we unloaded the gear, Metko and i went and hit up White Castles. and of course we had to get the dusseldorf mustard. hahahaha. inside joke i guess. Metko joked that we’d be woken up with the urge to take a shit and i was. i went to bed at like 6:30 am and woke up at 9:30 to take a shit. then i went back to bed and woke up at like 10:30 cuz the old guy next door was mowing his lawn. i just got up and did some laundry, made some breakfast, watched the Bears game. then i was real tired so figured i’d take a nap. i passed the fuck out from like 3:30 till past midnight. a fucking long nap. then i was pretty wide awake. so i watched some Arrested Develpment and then read my Romo book till i was ready to go back to sleep.
that’s about it. it was a good, fun show.
