Oh my god, I just realized I forgot about my best one ever: I saw this retarded screamo band Raise the Red Lantern at this crazy spot in Chicago up the street from my old apartment. Basically it was an old high-rise hotel that had been converted into apartments and the old lobby and entire first floor area had been converted into an extremely rundown cafe and art gallery that was only open intermittently. It actually felt kind of like a squatter situation that night because there was no heat and the majority of the light was coming from votive candles all over the place. And there were hula hoops all over the place.
Anyway, this was a birthday party for one of the owners of the cafe/gallery and a couple bands played including Raise the Red Lantern. They went on kind of on the late side, cranked their amps up all the way and promptly got complaints from the people who lived upstairs so the sound guy turned them down a bit. At which point two of the guys in the band threw complete rock star temper tantrums and threatened to beat up the sound guy. Then they very dramatically started packing up their gear. The way they were acting it was really obvious that they thought the audience was going to totally back them up, but instead people started loudly making fun of them for being such a bunch of d
icks. And that's how it went as they marched in and out packing up their van, everybody continuously making fun of them. It was really pretty entertaining.
