Get Galvanized

A few weeks ago I went on a road trip to San Francisco. It was great to get away and hang out with my brother.

We visitied a new club called SUB-Mission and had a rip-roaring good time.

As the bands (Skitzo/Savage Machine/Farticus/Cretacious/Fluff Grrlz) spewed out their version of 80’s hardcore metal/punk, and as guys and gals stood watching with their arms crossed and heads bobbing, I pranced around in the audience, pink flower in hair trying to nudge people into action.

The highlight of the night is when I was running around in circles creating my own mosh pit and the singer from Farticus basically jumped me. The two off us were locked tight, she was singing, I was holding her and time stood still as I thought to myself, “holy crap, what do I do now?”

What I did was set the singer back on stage and go on about the business of actin’ a fool. The next day, as my brother and I recounted the evenings events, I said, “now that’s life…THAT is living in the moment.” I can guarantee you, it will never happen again.

Evidently, someone caught my insanity on video. I’m the blur that you see going by during the video and the one who the singer, Vag jumps on at about 1:56. I’m not sure if I’m proud or humiliated but one thing is for darn sure, I had fun!

So get out of the darn house once in a while and have some fun. If you’re in San Francisco, check out SUB-Mission. It’s located in the Mission District and the SUB stands for: Strength, Unity, Brotherhood.
