just diggin the American Parties Pt 4


After Incubus we had one more day off so we decided to step by and say hello to the pals that we've met at the yesterday's event. They worked to a Pizzeria and they have recognized us at the concert because we were looking for a job around there but little afterwards we dropped the idea especially when that creepy amusement park were eager to give us even 15 hours per day only to satisfy our money demand. Outside the Pizzeria the view looked creapy as hell …giving the feeling that you will step into a place full of old bikers, drunkards, and rude people but in reality it was a very cozy place full of Beatles posters, incubus music or Mars Volta’s one and some sport clothes hung on the walls.(on one shirt we wrote OY BLYA) That day I remember I ordered beer and the waiter didn’t ask for our ID’s ,then drinking it I told him that he broke the law ‘cause I am not 21 yet and with a serious look asked if there were cops around there. He was greyer than ever. His name was Chase and till nowadays we laugh about this story . Once he received as a tip a” joint of MaryJ” telling me that it was the greatest tip that he has ever received. So after drinking those beers without our ID’s which felt like HEAVEN then Ryan( the guy that met us at incubus) invited us to go for a hiking and see the great waterfalls of Ogden. Woke up early,took my sport shoes and ready to dig Utah’s mountains. We were 4, me ,my crazy moldavian friend Mirela, Ryan and his friend. That buddy was from UK but was living in USA for about 7 years or more so the UK accent was not rigid but everytime when he asked for the water..he would say ‘OTER” . It was really fun even if it was a horrible heat outside, we couldn’t manage to find those bloody waterfalls and i fell pretty bad on some rocks. -We were talking, singing the Kooks and drinking lots of “OTER” . The view was speachless, the clouds were pink, silence was massive and everything felt dead and alive at the same time,only the dust was beginning to get into my throat. After the hiking they invited to a party. I was like PARTYYYYY…American party??! Right away in my head were popping the sequences from all American teen movies that were having PAAARTIes.Garage, alcohol and COPS! In the evening Ryan picked us up because he lived 15 minutes away from our campus and when I arrived I remember that we were in a garage full of beers and the guys were focused on a game called “beer pong”. We were on the floor drinking some real Wyoming beer, listening to their demo’s ,talking about Salvador Dali’s paintings and in the end we were all enjoying the night by watching the Pink Floyd’s concert on DVD’s. The house and the atmosphere was pretty much like the 60’s, in the basement they were singing on different instruments-so the music was everywhere, the weed was everywhere and the love was flying all above.

Love with a reason or Hate with no reasons...











A flight in the air,
A song in my ears
A question on the desk
An Answer to ur death
I shop-u follow
I luv-you fuck it
I take tickets-you grab popcorn
I watch the kisses-you blow the whispers
Another Saturday is gone
Another week-end will be waited


I work-you study
I rest-you skip classes
I am away from home-you never had one
A traffic light, a song and a roar,
Another day is gone
And it is time to soar

I want to stop the time
But your are on the other side,
I dream –you work
I study-you party
I feel –you cry
You die-I suffer.
Summer is ours
Autumn is yours
And winter is neithers
It buried our love with that snow

Another spring is gone
Another tear had fallen
Another Love had disappeared
And other emotions to appear
You drive- I sleep
I drive and ruin your car
I scream-you never scream
You curse-I scream again
Another day has gone,
Another hope will be exploited
And by the night another dream will get some sleep

You wait-I run
I looked back and you’re gone
I cheat-you laugh
You marry- I die
I use-you Love
And when I love you’re out of sight .

Incubus "Hats off and applause to Rogues and Evolution!"




Incubus-favorite band and again started with a sticker, this time with a smarter thought and the video "drive" appeared to me definitely an original shit and the singer looked hot. I remember that I have been to a play and discussing with the girls that Brandon is the most typical stereotype guy that almost every girl will want to assess.

This talk was exact 3 months before the actual attendance to the concert. Well enough about the stickers and my childish dreams. The concert took part in Salt Lake City at the USANA amphitheatre. There’s a whole different story about how I got the tickets. Working to a stupid and boring ride and talking about the bands with my supervisor Ian and right away he told me that he heard on the radio-station that in the week-ends it gives some tickets with lower prices. Deal and done, telling him to cover my ass for the next day, staying in line and waiting for that stupid shop-assistant, buying 3 tickets ( finally GOT TICKETS! Hurray! For only 12 bugs. Before going to the concert, me and my friend were tremendously excited and we expected that day more than ever! Finally… we went to Lagoon Park where the supervisor worked and she could manage to give us a ride up there! We were on road for 3 bloody hours! I was all sweaty because for some seconds I was entering in panic and frightened that I will miss it. Well we found the place,got the seats…seats-SHIT!! They were kinda far from the stage. When was to Fall Out Boy’s concert I was in the front and now here I am just way too FAAAR. Thinking and thinking and not giving a damn about the cups , jumping 3 fences and finally we were in the front. At the last fence the cup saw me and then the guys over there (don’t even know them) they just screamed to him that I am with them and basically saving us. There’s a saying- "In Utah never rains" but for this open-air concert it was a terrible storm and just before incubus could hit the stage,the rain just stopped and above the sky appeared a beautiful rainbow and here it is-SHOWTIME. They opened the show with the song "A kiss to Send us OFF". At the first guitar notes I almost faded and almost began to cry thinking-THIS IS IT! The Damn thing that I almost waited for all my half rebel childhood, following some songs from the albums “ A crow left of the Murder” and “Morning View including my favorite songs “Megalomaniac”,“Drive” 11. a.m etc etc Most of the songs were focused on their last album “Light grenades” and the most marvelous performance was Punch-Drunk, Anna-Molly and Love Hurts. “Tonight we drink to youth and holding fast to truth” …and the last song which gave more mature and less punky fever was Aqueous Transmission. It was a beautiful performance that lasted for about 9 minutes making ourselves lost in a trip as from the magic mushrooms. If our last experience with the American rock music was more punk and jumping around, incubus was more mature getting myself basically stoned to each lyric and voice performed by Brandon…Also this concert was just the beginning of true and beautiful friendships with some great American people who received us and were eager to show us the crazy part of Utah and hardcore parties.
