tori vs. gob

Last night was our dear Tori's 21st birthday.

We had  a dance party in the lounge of the casbah while the legendary Gob played upstairs.

At the end of the evening, we were waiting outside of the lounge for cabs.  At the same time, Gob and their opening band called the Johnstones were loading out their gear.  I didn't really think that this would be a problem considering we weren't really in each other's way, UNTIL Joel runs up to the singer of Gob and proceeds to masterbate in mime while making undecipherable noises.

Next thing I know, Joel is shoved right off the step of the lounge platform onto the sidewalk and he lands on his back in the middle of all their equipment.  [Granted it was a little obnoxious for Joel to mime masterbate in Gob's face, in no way did it warrant the extremely exaggerated act of physical hostility.] One guy from the Johnstones shouts at him: "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH OUR SHIT" as if he was too dense to realize that he was involuntarily pushed into it.  I went to help him up and a huge amp fell on my right foot, landing right on my cuneiform. 

(now it's sooo swollen)

After that, the two crowds had a bit of tiff.  punches were thrown (unsuccessfully), kicks were kicked, saliva was spit. But it was mostly verbal... Durka and Avi were pretty heated, as they should be.  The curly haired asshole from the Johnstones, who I'm pretty sure is friends with my sister, was the biggest cock of them all. 

He actually spit on Avi, and it landed on her cheek. Disgusting. I recognized one of the girls from their crew and it was the girlfriend of a guy who works at the casbah.  I was trying to stare her down so that she would realize how dumb she should feel for hanging out with those assholes.  But instead, when we caught eyes, she shouted: "they're fucking hipsters!"  it was quite laughable because it came completely from out of left field.  Brodie finally came outside and missed the whole fight but he asked us to leave and said that he would "take care of it"

The bands were yelling at Brodie to yell at us but he had our back and told them to get the fuck outta there or he would call the cops.  Not sure if Gob or the Johnstones will be back to the casbah again but i can surely bet that none of us will miss their next show.
