That's right, Andrew W.K.! The Party King himself!
When I heard he was going on tour for the first time since 2003 I just had to get tickets for the Warped Tour, since I've only heard about his crazy concerts. I was not disappointed. If you have not been to, or at least seen, one of his live shows, it is the craziest stuff you will ever see. Before they even started the show someone had started a bottle/shoe fight in the crowd (most fun I've had in a crowd ever). During the concert there was constantly 20 or more people crowd surfing with the largest mosh pit ever going in the middle (of course I had to get my fill of that
). The highlight moment for me throughout the show was when Andrew W.K. threw his shirt into the crowd and I actually got a hold of it! We wrestled for it for a good 2 minutes in a four way fight, then thought we'd decided who gets it with rock, paper, scissor (
). Needless to say that ended in a tie and we went back to wrestling. Unfortunately, the security guard thought it was getting too dangerous or something because he reached in and stole it from us. We finished the concert with one final grand song, and an even larger mosh pit than before.
Even though I didn't get the T-shirt my luck was not about to run out. As I was walking out the back way to the parking lot after the show, I just happened to bump into Andrew W.K. himself! He was kind enough to sign my poster, and take a picture with me! When I told him I was in the fight for his shirt, he said "Well, Thank you for participating in that."
He's such a cool guy.
