Misadventures in New Jersey: Coheed and Cambria at Central Park

Saturday was the free Coheed and Cambria show at Central Park's Summerstage. My brother and I woke up damn early and got to North Bergen at 9. By the time everyone was ready, it was almost 11. But hey, thats where the adventure began.

I'm glad Wikit made it. She was talking to Van for most of the busride to NYC. You mostly heard "aw" and "shut up" but it was cute because they girl tends to giggle a lot when you stare at her midway an affectionate name-call.

FASTFOWARD ONE HOUR LATER:

It didn't take too long to get in. I took the opportunity to take a nice group picture before the crowd starting forming. My brother was standing out like whoa when we realized he was wearing white.

Then this smokin' piece of Spainard Ani-DiFranco style songstress hit the stage. He entire set was in Spanish. Stupid Coheed kids tried to boo her off but she said "Fuck yourselves," so it was all good. I think Wikit and Chrissy were about to climax when she started stripping down. Chrissy caught her water bottle. Used water bottle. mm-hmm. Chrissy technically frenched BeBe. But besides that, I was really impressed. She had all these mega-fans with signs and literal...fans. I just hate how much shit she got. It was a LATIN FESTIVAL not FREE WARPED TOUR STAGE. Sometimes, I hate my generation.

Then, probably the only Boriqua that I like in the music industry, hit the stage. My brother got his white shirt autographed so it did serve a purpose. The crowd was kind of stupid. So kid puked. A shoeless crowdsurfer fell (and stepped) on it. Actually, the puke was all over this kid's crotch. It was sad. The condom balloons were all popped. Co&Ca only about 2 singles. They rest were of the "In Keeping Secrets..." album. It was fun. They opened with "Welcome Home" which was pretty great. They played "A Favor House Atlantic" so everyone knew that. Then...there was a 12 minute epic song at the end. It was good and all but seriously, save it for the headlining tour.

Afterwards, we hit up the Micky D's. I kinda sat there, trying to regain some sort of composure after experiencing how shitty a free-show crowd can be.
