dublin caballero

finally got to see the don live. was not disappointed. started off playing songs from punkgasm, which was okay, then played stuff from world class listening problem which came across really well, then they played don caballero 3 really fast and really fucking good and they encored with a restructured repeat defender, which was fucking brilliant.
good banter between songs too, damon kept saying 'mr. ohio bear' for some reason. also he started off in his underpants and a t-shirt, then he took off the shirt. he's got a bit of gut on him.
he didn't seem to have had too much alcohol, in case any of you were wondering.

Look, I don't want to hear any more about this "not drinking" stuff.
But seriously, that's great. Alcohol is pretty bad for you.
You sure "Mr. Ohio Bear" isn't a Gaelic phrase?
You know, like "Dead Rabbits?"

stolen from wikipedia:

The Dead Rabbits was a gang in New York City in the 1850s originally part of the Roach Guards. The name has a second meaning rooted in Irish American vernacular of NYC in 1857. The word "Rabbit" is the phonetic corruption of the Irish word ráibéad, meaning "man to be feared". "Dead" is a slang intensifier meaning "very."[1] Thus, a "Dead Ráibéad" means a man to be greatly feared. The gang was sometimes also known as the Black Birds.

Yep, I watched Gangs of New York.

Glad it was a good gig - took them only 15 years to get there but I'm delighted they did...

one thing that confused me was the merch stand. they only had extra large t-shirts and it seemed like that's all they had for the whole tour and not like they'd run out of other sizes.
also, they were selling damon's used sticks which he had signed.
