Stuff I should do if I go see DMX and St. Vincent in three weeks

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

There was a three day festival at a 20,000 seat venue in upstate Maine that had heinously poor tickets sales and now it's moved down here to Portland for one night at a 1,500 seat theater and one night at a 800 seat club. Night one at the 1,500 seat club features Night One headliner DMX co-headlining a show with Night Two headliner St. Vincent. I'm highly, highly tempted to check it out now. What should I do there?

So far all of my ideas revolve around me pointing and yelling "THIS IS NOT A GAME!" at people even whiter than me.

Oh and the band headlining the other night is Wheatus of "Teenage Dirtbag" fame. My friend's band is one of the openers that night. PUMPED!

Admittedly not a fan but how did St. Vincent get roped into this?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I know, right?

DMX and Wheatus seem desperate enough to headline a poorly organized festival in Central Maine but it was only a few months ago that St. Vincent was headlining that theater that she's co-headlining DMX with.

It's 50% odds that this thing completely falls apart.

One of my friends has a cousin that has one of his illegitimate babies.

Tell DMX that story. He'd love it.

Bring a 20 rock and get him to do this again:

St. Vincent is really cute. I don't care about her music.

hope that St. Vincent and DMX jam this one out

I saw David Byrne and St. Vincent a few years ago and it was the best concert I've ever been to (but admittedly I would say the same thing if she hadn't been there (but I did totally fall in love with her there))

St. Vincent backed out of the festival, which sounds like it's almost definitely entirely canceled.

:'( :'( :'(

Apologies to Alfie that I can't pass along his love note for St. Vincent.

Wait-what the flying eff? I just read the article. They're just canceling the music portion of the festival, the main draw but the art festival will go on. You think Bonaroo would ever be like "You know what? Sorry, no bands but check out our art show and comedy tent!" These organizers are idiots. Me and Roy could put on a better festival than these jackwads.

PROVE IT.

FUCK ALPHIE

I'm most grateful that you even considered it. I'll make sure to vote for you in the next tournament and maybe one day you'll get the chance to ask her out for me.

DMX is gonna be performing in a hotel ballroom in Auburn, Maine next month.

Random as hell. I'm imagining it'll get canceled like the show mentioned in the OP.

I got a bunch of friends that are unironically psyched for this. Weird. I can't imagine anyone getting hyped up for a DMX concert in 2016. Well, maybe, get psyched cause of potential goldmine for unintentional comedy.

I dated this girl briefly last year that legit only listened to DMX and Ja Rule, that I could tell. I could take the X but Murder Inc is when bitches get kicked to the curb.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I bought tickets for a David Bowie tribute concert and realized it's the same night as DMX playing the Fireside Inn Hotel Ballroom in Auburn, Maine. Dang it. Maybe DMX will do double duty and head down to Portland and do a cover of "The Man Who Sold The World" or "Life On Mars?"

 

[Baby Shoes]

Really feel DMX covering "Let's Dance" would feel right

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

DMX actually ended up cancelling the show at the hotel ballroom in Auburn, Maine last minute. SHOCKER! I feel bad for people who were dumb enough to buy tickets and expect X to show up to a show in rural Maine in 2016.

DANCE MFERS *ARF ARF*

DMX OD'd in a Ramada parking lot in Yonkers.

NOW that's a depressing headline.

Somehow, doubt he'll make his rescheduled show date at Fireside Inn in Auburn, Maine next weekend!

 

[Baby Shoes]

You know, I was in the gym tonight and decided to make DMX my soundtrack. I must have known without knowing.

Even more chilling, I had to relisten to "Lord Give Me A Sign"

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Sign being "Don't OD in a Ramada parking lot in Yonkers".

Scott Weiland OD'd in a budget hotel parking lot too. If I were a member of the Gin Blossoms, I'd be careful about hanging out near a Best Western. A pop star of the '90s can't be safe there.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Wasn't that where Axl Rotten died too?!? can't remember if it was hotel, McDonald's or a McDonald's hotel.

Knighton was found dead by police in a McDonalds in Linthicum, Maryland on February 4, 2016.[13] Ten hours earlier, he had sent his final tweet, which read, "The way I do things may not be the way you do things but you will find out there is only 1 way. My away! (sic) #AxIsTruth."[14]
