"I wish I had enough to share with everyone because that feels real good, when you take that shit."

OK, so St. Louis. We decided not to go to early to this show because we were so worn out from Kansas City.
Plus we had to drive 4 hours so we left KC around 7am. I slept the whole way, I was worn out, Joe might have something interesting about the drive.[NOPE] The next thing I remember is we were there around 12:00.
I was surprised to see the parking was free and the parking lot wasn't shitty gravel like Sandstone
Again fuck you Sandstone!! This place was way better already!
There was already a lot of people there and I hate being around a lot of people so I was all freaking out. We saw a short line and got in it and I had asked a lady about cameras and she noticed our Presale tickets and told us to line up in an even shorter line. We got in right away and walked around. Still not shit going on.
I was wanting the MM hoodie which they didn't have in KC but they had it here so I brought that & another shirt and a glow stick. Another $100 down the drain.

So then we were checking out the other stages and watching this band "White Chapel". The whole time I was trying to figure out their name from the backdrop since it was in the illegible font, but found out after the singer said the name.
My feet were hurting very bad so we just sat in the grass under a tree waiting for the pit to open.
I told Joseph to buy me Some pink checkered skull bag they were selling so I could carry all the Merch. Which set us back another $20, then Joseph spent $12 on 2 Cokes. After that we were totally out of cash.
When we were walking around this lady wanted to take a picture of us for a website which I looked super horrible in so I won't post it but I will post this other one where we so happen to be in, just walking by.

OK so then we waited where the pit entrance was and our chance were great on getting a good spot. Only these 2 drunk dudes in front of us were in the line. When they finally let us in the 2 drunks in front of us held up the line because they wanted to bring alcohol in but they wouldn't let them. And then the old man tagging us dropped his tool. So by then a lot more people from the other entrance had gotten in before us. I was kind pissed but it wasn't a big deal because we still got a good spot. I also like the wrist bands they gave us.

I'm keeping mine on Forever!
I talked to this old man next to me about Manson, he said he was there to see him. He also told me he saw Manson back in the Smells like Children Era at some small club in St. Louis and he seemed to know a bit about Manson in general. The pit was not crowded at all and very pleasant to be in. But this one security guy in front of me had blood on his shirt which i thought was weird for this being such a mellow place.
So when the first band started I decided to go ahead and take pictures since I had plenty of room on my camera to do that and record Manson.


This one is from "bullet"

These from KSE

I think this cholo guy in front of me was Manson's bodyguard. He was out there watching the crowd but it wasn't crazy so he left.

<span class=Photobucket" border="0">
Here's a picture of that funny guitar player. This time he said something about meeting up with any girl by the porta potty's so he could piss in their mouth. He said he would pay them "1 fat American dollar" Then he upped it to "2"
Also The singer for this band walked on Manson's catwalk, I hope he didn't get in trouble for doing that.


OK so now Manson I found this photo kinda showing where we were

So the set list was exactly the same as KC. This time we were on Ginger's side and I could see him very well and I still don't know the new bass players name but he seemed pretty cool and I noticed him singing along a few times.

Same theatrics but this time I am putting up a few screen shots

OK so we ended up with a a towel and a beer bottle he threw out

<span class=Photobucket" border="0">
I am really not too interested in keeping the bottle but Joseph insists on keeping it.
So yeah it was a Great show!
So we left and we got out of the parking lot right away unlike Sandstone (fuck you Sandstone!)
and that was basically it. I slept the drive back and Joe stayed up the whole time, I kept waking up because I thought he was driving too fast, and I thought the music he was listening to sounded like chipmunks because my hearing was totally muffled.

Well I am glad that is over with we were waiting so long. Now we don't have any more concerts lined up, well at least I don't, but Joe and my brother are going to see NIN in L.A. this September. I wish I could have got tickets too but we were lucky just to get those! But Manson has announced new dates but none around here, Well damn I need a break anyways.
