DEAR DUMB DIARY
BEHIND CRIMSON EYES
I can’t sleep. I should be able to, but I can’t. So while I’m awake I may as well recount the past two nights. In two separate posts, since they're pretty long..
Friday Night:Behind Crimson Eyes @ Manning Bar, USYD
With Drew, Nathan, Will, Oskar and his friend, Cameron- This doesn’t really have anything to do with the concert, but Oskar and Cameron were telling us how at their school
(all guys) there are lots of homosexuals. They apparently give each other head in the bathrooms.
- We had something that said
‘Half price cock’ on it (torn out from something – red rooster? Adult shop? I have no idea.) Drew walked around with it tucked into his pants. I don’t think anyone saw that though. Then they put it on some fat girl’s shoulder. She subsequently

leaned over the barrier and it fell on the other side.
- The Mission In Motion, Ellington, Sleep Parade and Behind Crimson Eyes were meant to play. But Ellington didn’t come :o
- The Mission in Motion’s vocalist does not look at all as I would have imagined... Aaahs, look. -->
- Sleep Parade’s drummer looked like he was having multiple orgasms while playing.
- Some bald man (who was probably like 40) came and started dancing (in old man style... kind of) to the music while undoing his cuffs and untucking his pink shirt from his pants. Maaaan, what a party animal! I think Nathan went and danced with him for like one second.
- There was some chick that had a somewhat visible moustache. Of course, the guys thought this was totally hilarious and just HAD to take a picture of her. They weren’t very subtle about it... She turned around several times partially covering her face. In the end they got a decent picture though. They nicknamed her ‘man-lady.’
- Behind Crimson Eyes were pretty amazing. At the beginning I was in the mosh, but after like one song I somehow got pushed out of it.
- While they were in between songs, Josh (vocalist) said, “We all have swine flu because we had sex with pigs.”
The guitarist (Aaron?) responds saying something like, “You should stop referring to your mother as a pig.”
- In some song when Josh pretty much gave the microphone to the crowd, Oskar sung into it, I think. He was terrible.
- Cameron was extremely excited afterwards. The drummer threw his water bottle into the crowd and he drank out of it. He also caught his spit in his hand... “I didn’t know what it was, but I just reached out and caught it!” For some reason he thinks this is a good thing. He says that this means he practically kissed the drummer.
- Josh told him to fuck off, as he was trying to touch his tag. He also finds this exciting.
- He claims he practically lost his virginity. Apparently his balls were rubbing against someone. He doesn’t know, nor care who was touching him. He also was touching some girl.
- Afterwards, he asked Aaron for his beanie. He got it. While he and Oskar were running, Oskar’s wallet fell out of his pocket. Drew offered it to Aaron, haha. Aaron took it. But then Oskar got it back.
- We got a photo with Josh (as you can tell). In the first one I wasn’t really in it because I was behind everyone, so we got another.
- Oskar got his stomach signed... ?
- As Josh was leaving there was a lovely group hug. I wasn’t really in it though. I didn’t fit :(
That’s about it... Got home a bit before 2am.
Not sure if all of that makes much sense, but there you go.
