We entered a song or two into The Cool Kids set- who I was excited to see since they weren’t at the Fool’s Gold show that I went to. One of the groups in the mix of the Chicago hip hop hotbed, The Cool Kids impart the early ’90s style of KRS-One with some DJ Screw robo-tripping elements and some really skinny acid washed Jordache jeans. Ahhhh…it’s nice to see some hip hop- we are so starved for it in SF proper. Their music is really fun to dance to, and they did a pretty good job with the crowd…who was already packed liked sardines and rife to chant M.I.A. during any quiet moment. There was some serious barriers set up, with a sizable crowd/stage separation. Perhaps Mezzanine invested in some new barriers after Justice. [...] [...] Cut to Mezzanine.

I am "majisher" on youtube. My friend is holding the neon cross that I made before the show. You can see it in the video. Sorry for pushing past you. I had anticipated JUSTICE ever since seeing them at Coachella. And yes, I was perhaps on something ;) We were the guys off our noggin! I am “majisher” on youtube.

Just a hair. But after reviewing the video (which is awesome, I didn't realize is was THAT crazy up front) i think it was just because I wasn't having "out of my fucking mind" fun like everyone else (submit evidence A: my bruised toes). So i can sum up my initial reaction to crowd envy. Mind you, not every show needs to be on that level for me to enjoy it. In retrospect, that was a pretty damn good show--even if it was a school-night rave. I echo the call on shows being so late though. Especially on a weeknight. I'm almost predisposed to go there resentful! p.s. there definitely was something magnetic about the guy on the left. Love the Luigi reference.
