Seeing the Flying Vee

Just a little stream of conciousness thing
about seeing L7


....Lollapalooza 94,


I had been trying to get tickets for the last two years and this was the first time I called in time. Hey, the third time is the charm.....big group down to Riverport in the mini-van, that ubiquitous family vehicle.......

first act, L7 in the flesh. Yes, Donita Sparks with her Flying V, right there for me to see....they opened with Deathwish. What an odd choice, thought I.......right after the release of Hungrey for Stink.....

Andrew, where is your shirt!?!

....the oddest transformations occur at shows. They did Pretend that We're Dead at about four times the normal tempo......it must have been as painful for them as it was for me......the little preppy chicks go wild......but then they start rolling
.....Everglade
.....Shove
......Can I Run?
......oh, but that is not possible......Near the end, one says

Hey, you girl in the gray shirt, you really rock our world. Come back stage after our set, will you?

And I start looking around frantically for the girl in gray......my woman in white......I am wearing a navy t-shirt, no where near gray.....I have been foiled......
