1. 700 Club
Even in 2007 I was a little embarrassed to go here, but I'd justify it by saying "I'm not a hipster or anything, but I want to dance, and shit is FREE". Remember folks, I lived in New York for a year, so I was not a hipster before not being a hipster was cool. Fun fact: I've never been to a Making Time event; I'd always roll my eyes at those things, because Motherfucker was way better.
My fiance, Ed, and I stumbled into 700 Club in 2012 for shits and giggles. The music was pretty much the same: Depeche Mode/Biz Markie mash-ups thought to be "ironic" and the like. The crowd was different though. They were all bros. It was almost as if they got lost on their way to Old City, or perhaps were just stopping by in between cover band sets at Finnegan's Wake.
2. Carnivolution
I've hated white people in West Philly from a young age, and I think we need Wilson Goode back in office again, if you know what I mean. I actually quite like Carnivolution though. Last night I saw the hilarious Bunny Savage, who was preceded by a chick who squirted wine out of her pussy. The crowd was all bros there too though. I mentioned this to Ed, and he said "Maybe we're just old, and these kids are actually the cool ones, and we're not." So I've always hated the crowd at Carnivolution, but now I just hate them for different reasons. Here's a song I made in 2009 about hating white people in West Philly. The line "queefing grandma puppet shows" is about Carnivolution.

Oh, and take #2 with a grain of salt because I was dead sober last night. The belligerent 19 yr old girl crew standing behind me talking too loud and trying to fight everyone might have gone unnoticed if I were equally as hammered.
