The angry hipster death glare

That's of course what I assumed...some obscure 'lame' band, or maybe a trendy and uncool store at the mall.      
 
   

I don't have a problem with people standing still, it's more the angry glares in response to my polite/friendly smiles that are a pain in the arse.

I haven't seen that much, this glare you speak of.  Of course, I'm all busy swaying and woot-ing.  It is true, I usually have an arm up if it's a song I know -- took a long time to get over the urge to do the heavy metal devil fingers.
 
 PS, ggw stands still, very still.  Which is probably a good thing as he's as tall as a lighthouse.  And he doesn't smile much, but definitely doesn't GLARE.

Well, at least you are off the hook on this one. Up here in Bodymore, Murderland the type of people that love the Blue Collar Comedy tour also tend to be fans of a radio morning show with those wild and crazy DJs Kirk, Mark and Lopez.  They show their support by sporting KML bumper stickers.  Usually right next to stickers of their favorite NASCAR driver's number, "W 04", and Calvin pissing on something.

KML = Kurt Mark Lopez, the 98 rock morning djs. (think that is their names).

  But then why did they pay 30 bucks to see them?  
 
 most of the "I refuse to smile, ever!" people are probably under 23 and still think that having rigidly enforced obscure music taste and hating "poseurs" who dare to occasionally shop at the Gap is the one thing that gives their lives meaning

My two cents...
 
 It's a rare band that I'd pay $30 to see...
 
 I'm over 30, not under 23, and don't care to dance and bop around at shows or smile for no reason like some half-wit...if there happens to be a reason to smile, I will do so at my own discretion...
 
 I think the Gap is an OK place to buy basic wardrobe staples...

The only show i can remember watching from the balcony was the Secret Machines (when the opened for Interpol)
 
   I think i was glaring too, not at anyone in particular though.  I was angry though, because last time i saw SM was when they played the Ottobar and there was 150 people there, and everyone was diggin em.  
 
   Six months later, i couldnt FIND a spot to even see the stage (and i'm 6'1") and when i looked down at the floor....no one was even head-bobbing.   So sure, i was pissed that all those people who cared NOT about SM, were way closer than i.  
 
   i did go downstairs and annoy people during Interpol though

HAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 That Calvin pissing reference -- priceless.  Alas, I go in to a conference call with that image emblazoned on my brain...

Could you cotton to the fact that more people on this bboard should take ecstasy before going to the club?

Oh my god, that's horrible.  I'm going to have to change my initials now...
 
 Hate morning radio.  Although having a bumper sticker with my intials might be so uncool it's cool, right?  Now if only I had a car...

 Sad, because some of those hipster fellas are kind of cute, but so mean looking I would never dare to talk to them...I'm sure they see that as a blessing, as I might infect them with my horrifying yuppie tendencies.  Oh well.  Personally, I'm usually so happy to 1. not be at work, and 2. be out of the house, listening to music that I love, that even the sullen starers don't bother me all that much.  But I admire the less self conscious people a lot more, I have to say.  
 

why do you assume that everyone at a show already loves the band?  i go to see many shows just to see what a band sounds like live, or because a friend of mine is going, or because i don't have shit else to do on a tuesday night.

have you thought maybe this is because you are incredibly ugly, or just perhaps overall creepy looking? [/b]

did anyone see the triumph does the grammy's piece on conan a couple nights ago?
 
 absolutely hilarious, at one point he asked franz ferdinand: "so are you guys gay ....... or extremely gay"

I never understood spending money on bands that one is not a big fan of. Sort of like going to a Will Smith movie just because you want to see a movie.
