the network, revised edition

we got to see just a few minutes of the sound check for the network. that was maybe the coolest thing. they were kind of just messing around, seemed like. i dont know what a sound check is supposed to be like, but that was the best thing ive ever seen. they wore their masks and complete costumes the whole time, which i imagine was sweaty, but i would have really really really liked to see them in the costumes without the masks... i would have felt like i had won something.

i like that even the roadies and techs wear ski masks, it really shows comitment to the overall effect. i think i should wear a mask if i ever get to see them again.

the show started late, and i guess thats because the sound check went way long. it was sort of cool to be privy to that information instead of standing outside going, "what the fuck... theyre 15 minutes late!"

keytars are so cool. i would want to play that, if i had to pick one instrument. but, i might have a hard time finding a band that wants me.
i really wish they had broadcast the network. i would like to watch the highlights again and i know people want to see them play.
they all wear creepers. its kind of amusing to think of billie joe changing from his network shoes to his green day converse. hes wearing a silver jacket that says "disease is punishment on the back" punishment for what, i would like to ask him. because i have some overdue library books and i would hate to get SARS over it.

so they worked out this little routine, and they did it at the last show too, they do this choreographed, synchronized dancey routine with guitars side to side, head bobs and so on. its a nice break for jason, i think, from his step-together-step-together number.

when they did spike, which is amost the best part, it was really hard to hear. i like to hear billie joe talk. or... fink... talk. about anything. anything at all. he could talk about what a bitch i am and i would just listen with dreamy eyes.
i heart fink. i wonder if it wouldnt be possible for me to marry his alter ego... something to look into... i could be the sassy wife of the lead singer/guitar player of the network, the counter part of adrienne, but we would never be in the same room together. and i guess i would have to wear a ski mask. and our babies, which we would have ten million of, would have to wear ski masks. then we would be a little bit too much like the jackson family for me to feel comfortable.
but, when he plays roshambo, my very very favorite... i figure i will take whatever i can get.

i like that mike, as van gough, gets to be in the spotlight and kind of front the network at least half the time. mike is rad. my overwhelming love for billie joe sometimes distracts me from this fact, but it remains true.

the network is an awsome band. a fun band. they are like pop tarts. sure, filet mignon is good, but every once in a while a pop tart is exactly what you fucking need.

k.

im a teenage rebel and im fucking bored.
