Pat Green/ Nathan Chance Concert

People...

Feel free to leave comments so I know you are here ;-)

Pat effin Green… Pat effin Green… Pat effin Green… Pat effin Green…

What a great show. To be at a show that small and see someone that big is always great you know, but the energy that he brings, MAN. I haven’t seen someone so happy and comfortable with himself that he’s “made it”. People know who he is, and he has a strong fan base. He’s set. At a lot of all ages shows they do not serve alcohol… THANK GOD they did. I just love drinking. I also love hanging out with my best friends. I love hanging out with my wife. I love hanging out with new friends… and I absolutely am infatuated with doing them all at the same time!

Chrissy and I were running a little late b/c we had to stop by Northgate AT&T to get our new iphones. They are not in stock unless you get there early in the morning, so we put in to have some shipped… 5-10 business days… yada yada yada. So, done with that, change, pick up Torrie at her condo on Greenlake, and take off in the Bronco with the top off. The perfect summer vehicle, no if, and, or buts about it. Head down to Cappello’s place and have a couple brews, listen to some country and realize that we are too late to start a BBQ. So, Tom cooks us all a corndog. Plow through that and all 7 of us pile into the BKO (Bronco) 2 in front, 3 in back seat and two sitting in the very back against the tailgate. Theme song of the night: “Good Time” by AJ. We blasted that whenever we could, loud and proud.

We get to the concert, 7 of us pile out and go stand in line. There we see the hottest of Asians, Hot Brian. There is nothing more funny than T9 messing up the name Brian and giving a 6’7” White Military man the nickname of Asian. So the rowdy crowd is Wifey, Tori, Cappello, Chris’ friend, Tom. Storey, Hot Asian, Addy, and me. This is going to be great. Get into the show, and whadda you know… Nathan is playing in his new band opening for Pat effin Green. Nathan (http://nathanchance.com/) is our old Karaoke Dj from the hen when we use to go there. AMAZING singer with good crisp vocals, he can belt out anything from Toby Keith to ACDC. He is the one in the picture with me in the Seattle Magazine Best Happy Hour edition.

Speaking of ACDC, he followed up some great normal country, and some stuff off their album with a nice rendition of a little ACDC. When Nathan sings it shakes me all night long, almost as much as the PBR Tall boys, or the shots of Hornitos. During the in between part we meet up with my best friend in the world, John Bradwin and his wife Mary Kelly, and to my surprise!!!!!!!! Rogers in town for a wedding!!!!!!

Now, Roger (MK’s dad and John’s father in-law) is a great man. He is not only a good ol’ boy who likes to kick it like the rest of us… but he also came to my Bachelor Party. That alone should tell you how much of a fun loving guy he is. Mix that with the commanding respect demeanor of a retired colonel and you have one HELL of a man. I cannot wait for my Bachelor Party Reunion Tour next year to have a beer and a dirty love burger with this man.

John, MK, Colonel, Jim, Tori, Chrissy, and I have some brews, shots… little of this little of that and then the show starts. I’m not the hugest fan ever, but I sure do enjoy me some Pat Green. I’ll leave Bradwin to the actual set details but lets just say we all rocked out, slow danced with the wifey, got some great pics of my wife being a drunk bond girl… and just plain ol had a blast. Look forward to seeing everyone soon at:

Pat Green

Countdown is beginning. Tomorrow is PAT GREEN!!!!

Most of you who read about country know who this guy is. He got famous with “Wave on Wave” and almost went a little Dave Mathews on us. But, his old stuff is absolutely incredible. He is one of the first waves of TX country boys included among the likes of Cross Canadian Ragweed (CCR), Jason Bowland, Kevin Fowler, etc.

I can still remember sitting up in “The Den” & “Red Door” with Bradwin during “that” summer blasting the song “college” and “Everclear”. Those two songs definitely have a special place in my heart. Wow, I’m about to reminisce about reminiscing, but we used to reminisce in the “sports bar” about that summer and crank those songs with Plebe Carlson when we all lived in that room together. At the very least you have to listen to those two songs…

If those two songs don’t get you hooked, then please click the “X” at the top right of the screen. Maybe, if you are into a little more poppy stuff you could check out “Wave on Wave”, or if you are in a nostalgic relaxing mood put on a little “Dixie Lullaby”.

I just went to this site: http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/artist/Green,+Pat/a/Pat+Green.htm and you can click on the CD and view the songs. It’s interesting how much you forget about the old CDs when you haven’t listened to an artist in a while. This is an extensive list highlighted by the CD’s Lucky Ones, Three Days, Cannon Ball, Wave on Wave just going through it I was overwhelmed the amount of good songs he sings and then I came across “Live at Billy Bob’s” CD… It does not get any better than that.

So tomorrow at the Showbox tickets are $25 at the door. I’ll be cruising down there with the top off the bronco and blasting some “Good Time” by AJ. If you need a ride, give me a call and see if I’ve filled up all my seats yet, and I’ll see you there.
