dmb in the park
the stage from last the dave matthews band concert in central park.
wednesday night brought the dave matthews band to central park as part of aol's concert for schools. the concert benefited new york city schools, with aol and dmb each donating $1 million. they also distributed 70,000 tickets for the concert, and it seemed like all 70,000 showed up. they opened the "doors" for the concert at 3 pm, and i arrived at about 6 and waited more than an 1:30 to get in. it had to be one of the longest and most crowded lines i have ever been in. the line was pure insanity. the concert, however, was great. it was my first time seeing dmb, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. they set up the stage in the great lawn, with six big screens for concert goers on the lawn. it was quite well done.
see more info about the concert on aol's site, on rachelle's site, and at gothamist. at the first two, you can see more photos, for i did not bring my own camera despite much discussion.
check out the crowd in the background.

there were two chicks in our line who kept fighting. hair pulling, one chick was bleeding where she got punched. it was weird. because they would fight, then it would get broken up and they'd be seperated but no one wanted to lose their place in the line so they'd both be standing there but like still in the line .. then if they got close enough they'd totally go at it again. at least it made the line exicting. i dont know what happened to them. . . we came upon some police on horses and one chick & her friends ratted the other chick out and they were all screaming at each other while the line kept going.

man, that is strange, but i love watching fights. why were they fighting?
at one point, we were next to these really really messed up teens. one of them was like, "are you guys still in school?" and then, "do you live in the city? what do you do? where do you live?" it was annoying. we kind of made our way away from them. i think they were on e or something.
