so...
we all do dumb things when it comes to bands we love: waiting in lines for hours to get concert tickets, skipping out on work or school or sacrificing a lunch hour to run to a cd store, traveled significant distances either by car or plane to shows or possibly rock n roll hall of fame exhibits (i know there are some people here who've done that)...or you know, even gathering up all sorts of rarities and bootlegs.
my latest:
i spent the last 2 nights fighting with the realplayer. epitaph.com put up a couple video clips from the dropkick murphys dvd that comes out next week. naturally, i'll buy it as soon as i can get to the record store. but you know, i just HAD to watch those streaming video quality clips rather than wait one more week...
i have now downloaded 4 different versions of the spawn of satan (aka realplayer), uninstalled and re-installed them 2-5 times each.
i won my battle, and i got to see my video clips. but i still spent several hours (and endured several computer crashes) trying to watch 5 minutes of video that i will be able to watch in better quality in 7 days.
oh yeah. i don't regret it at all. maybe that's what i'm confessing, not the actual thing that i did, but that i don't regret being the nut that i am.
