We made it to Nimitz hall and we had to park two blocks away because it was very crowded. My friend, Cey-tehn thought that we would never make it by the way our driver Melissa was handling it. Anyway, we get close enough to the building and we soon were being chased (literally) by a bunch of Christians who told us that we would burn in hell and all that. They came up to Melissa and asked if a slap in a face would prevent her from going in. Finally we got in and their was the usual security check and they let us keep our chain wallets because they were too small to hurt anyone.
Some band comes on and we're purchasing a shock necklace and Wesleann decides to go to the restroom and stay in there for the rest of the night and smoke.

They get off and they start setting up for Manson and Cey-tehn starts falling asleep on Amy's shoulder until finally something funky goes on with the lights and she wakes up. Band comes on stage, Manson comes slowly onstage and Angel With the Scabbed wings comes on. Moshpit goes wild, crowdsurfers are up and we're getting killed. The place is filled with goths, freaks, headbangers, motorcyclists, fifth graders, yes, fifth graders with little backpacks on and other assorted people--one couple even dragged their five year old kid there who was crying and fogging up her glasses. It makes you wonder where all these people came from when you're on a rock filled with a bunch of gangsters and shit.

Uh....lessee here. Skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead....oh, yeah, I remember Cey-tehn's mother asking if Marilyn did anything sexual onstage. Oh, no, mom, he just did a bunch of pelvic thrusts, rubbing of the crotch, and leering at us...[heh]

Anyway, Sweet Dreams comes on and the mtv crowd thing and he starts to use the torch and he's perched on the cube. He smashes it on the ground, pretends to fall off but gets back on it, continues to do so until he really does fall on the ground, face twisted with pain. Jumps up and runs offstage. Band stops playing and runs after him. Everyone's concerned, they want him to come out and he doesn't for five minutes until someone says, "Due to an unfortunate accident, Mr. Manson has been injured. The show has been cancelled--go home." Naturally we stay put and people start chanting his name, hoping he'd come out. Security starts pushing us to the door and a tiny little riot ensues but stops. Then we hear the sirens and now we know it's serious. Cey-tehn wanted to follow the ambulance but I told her we couldn't because by the time we get to the car, the ambulence would've reached the hospital already. Amy wanted to find out what room he'd be staying in later so they could send him black roses but we never got to do that either.

We went to a restaurant, ate, went home and was disappointed for our whole spring break week. We hopes he comes again and this time we hope he doesn't hurt himself again...

P.S. At least, Ginger didn't get hurt.
