sooo. the first time I ever saw radiohead was at lolla 2008. I went with a bunch of my close friends from high school - there were 9 of us. on the night of radiohead, we had kind of split in 2 groups - 5 of us up like ~25 rows back and the other 4 running around somewhere doing some recreational shit. one friend crowd surfed and thom yorke pointed at him, that was neat. then like 2/3 of the way through we all start getting texts and calls from our other friends. we ignore them, because hi we're at radiohead. but they keep calling and calling and we get a text along the lines of "you guys need to come here immediately, ____ isn't breathing and they took him to the hospital we don't know what to do" so, thinking one of our best friends is dead we have to fucking leave. it was the worst. my friend ryan leads us (he's huge, like 6'3", 200something lbs) shoving people out of the way. all fucking 90,000 people. my life has never felt more like it was in complete slow motion. and it felt like we were running through the crowd for like a half hour.
anyway. to this damn day when I hear everything in it's right place Lucky I get the most vivid, awful flashbacks. and I'm currently listening to ok computer.
oh, and our friend was fine. had some fun with some shit unknowingly mixed with pcp. he was still having weird visions 3 days later. and we have never stopped giving him shit about missing a third of radiohead, either.

Yeah, fuck your friend for unknowingly doing PCP! But really, I'd constantly give one of my friends shit if that happened

I didn't mean it in a "fuck him" kind of way - it was the worst because it was absolutely terrifying. it was a surreal moment running through that many people, holding hands, thinking our friend since 1st grade died.
the only annoying part is that our other friends that were with him were all so irresponsible and too messed up that they couldn't do anything to help, which is why we were the ones who had to leave. it was just really scary overall.

Yesterday, when I was looking for the MMJ menu, I searched "creme brûlée" on the board. Today I got on and was confused when this post was the first thing I read. It is from 2010, board member of the month I guess. I didn't even realize it was mine at first. It made me laugh. I don't even know who that person is anymore, which saddens me greatly. Not really knowing people you thought you knew is rough. Not knowing yourself anymore is even more rough. But a great jump off point for reevaluation.
If Barack Obama, the Queen of England, Kayne West, Ron Paul, and Lady Gaga where all coming over for dinner... What would you make for them and which guest would get extra strength ex-lax laced in their meal?
Ohhh do I love a dinner party!! Since I am entertaining the Commander in Chief, I would make it fantabulous of course. Perhaps a French onion soup with baguette crouton and provolone over swiss gently browned in the broiler to start. An arugula ;D salad would follow, ganished with roasted beets and pears and then topped with sweet and spicy pecans and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Main course would be my pork wellington with a mushroom cream sauce alongside asparagus with brown butter sauce. The wine would be of the Rhone region, likely Chateauneuf du Pape. Dessert would be spiced rum creme brulee.
Initially I was thinking that it would be quacking great fun to watch Kanye sweat out dessert, Gaga ruin her latest train-wreck of an outfit, and perhaps witness Ron Paul being cleansed of his constitutional constipation. However, the social worker in me takes over and I reside to accept that my dinner guests are, respectively, 1) awesome 2) benign 3) broken 4) a bit sideways but at least on Fox's lenolist or 5) attention seeking. Therefore, I save the ride down hersey highway for Rush, Bill, Glenn, Sarah, or Mel.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
I thought to myself, "I really need a radiohead poster...." went on ebay. just happened to be a special edition poster from one of the shows I was at in 2012 right near the top. think I'm gonna go for it.
edit: I just bought it. I reallyy gotta calm down my treat yo self 2015 week after this. but so worth it.

Go for it. I love having posters from shows I've been to. It's one of those weird things that I must have if I see one at a show. Unless I really, really hate the design. I've got way too many now and am running out of places to put them all.

my phone lock screen/background has been a picture from this show for almost 3 years now. clearly something worth commemorating.

I was wondering what your (and everyone else's) approach is to hanging posters. Rarely do I find poster frames that are the same size as my posters. therefore some sort of poster backing is usually required. Do you have any good recs on where to buy poster backing? Any recs for poster frames would be welcomed as well!

I have like 10 posters I've been planning on framing, but have been putting it off FOREVER. it started out as, "oh, I'll do that once I move!" I've been in my place for 5 months now and they're still in a box.

I've got a few posters that I have matted because the size of the posters weren't your typical 18x24. I've had them done at Michaels art & supply store (it's a chain around here but not sure how far they spread out). I posted older photos in this thread but here is one that I have with a matted background:
In the past when I've had this problem I haven't been too picky. If I'm creating a matte myself I just get a piece of paper that will fit. Some art supply stores will have things pre-cut or will cut things for you. In general I try to find a frame that fits my posters but in some cases I just throw in a cheap piece of paper. There are two posters that I have had professionally done and I love the work when it's done but it does add up a bit.
Some will recommend to not go to Michael's or other art stores because of the employees lack of training but I guess I had a good one near me.
Here is a REALLY helpful post from the My Morning Jacket message boards about framing/matting posters yourself. There are a few threads over there with good info but this one will definitely get you on the right track: forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,18390.msg348713.html#msg348713

"Queens Of The Stone Age is not in our system. We will check with the emo council and get an answer for you. "
Edit: "Saves The Day is an emo band. Sure, you wanna complain but the fact of the matter, this band hit in the late 90s, they toured with hardcore bands and holy shit "Through Being Cool" is a classic."
