Will work 4 Concerts

So my plan this year is to see as many concerts as my savings account will let me. Of course living in the midwest your choices are sometimes few and far between. Peoria gets a few okay concerts but if you love more not mainstram music, Which I do!, you at times must travel. So far this year I have been to quite a few...varied in genre but none the less concerts! I will list them in the order I saw them starting with Jan 2005. I know I am a bit obssesed with seeing concerts. Whenever we are traveling to a different city for vacation I will always check to see if there will be a concert in town. This way you get to experience different venues and different crowds. Although I love living in Peoria, I really do no sarcasim needed, I miss the concert selection available. When we were in AZ the concert scene was awesome...great little venues for more obscure bands and larger venues(Hello Sun Devil Stadium) for larger acts. The only bad part about living in a larger city is you have to fight to get tickets because more people are trying for them. So the beat goes on...

So as you can see I just kill for live music...I will see anything if I think it will be entertaining. Along with music concerts I have filled my year with Plays and Cubs Games too!
The crappy thing is we had tickets to go see Ben Folds in concert in Chicago but then New Order booked for the same night and they trump Ben so we had to sell our Ben Tickets but hopefully we will still have some great shows bringing up the year end!
Happy Raging!

What's your name again?

So I guess I should explain my blog name...Krisser Pisser. It's fairly self explanitory but I do have some funny stories to go with it. It all started back in 2nd grade. We had just moved here from L.A. and the grade school we went to was in the middle of corn fields (That is a whole story in itself I will jot on later). SO we are out playing on the tire contraption. It wasn't really a swing but an aparatise with 3 large tires hooked up to railroad ties by chains. The whole idea is you straddle the tire and other school kids try to knock you off by moving the chains quickly. I was straddling the tire and lo and behold I had to pee and didn't quite get off the tire in time. So what do you do when you are at school and you have peed your pants? Go to the office and tell them you are sick. My Grandpa had to come and get me at school. So this 1st incident started a weird revolution of me, myself and I peeing my pants every 2 years. So to follow...2nd grade, 4th, 6th, 8th...I also had the keen knack of having to go to the potty at the worst moment. So into highschool and we could be driving out in the middle of podunk for a party and I would have to pull over and pee in a field. This have given me an amazing talent of being able to sqat and pee anywhere! SO last year 2 friends and I went to the BLink-182/ No Doubt show in Chicago. We were already pretty lit when we went in. We are laughing and goofing off and I trip and fall flat on my face! HA HA HA HA well we go to the bathrooma nd BIG SURPRISE I peed my pants! Thankfully it was a hot summer day so Friend #1 goes and buys a water from the food stand and we have a staged water fight! Problem solved! So as you can see the name was given to me in H.S. and it kinda just stuck! I already have stock in depends for the later years in My life...y'know just thinking ahead!
Chowder!

Price is right connection

So I feel like I must start with a little story to fill you in...We I was 3 we lived in L.A. and my Mom worked at a hair salon. They would take days off and go to The Price is Right (TPIR). One day my mom is called and gets to contestants row and wham makes it on stage. She is playing the piggy bank game. (Fill in numbers to win a faboulous gift...a medium oh I already have on of those gifts...or the piddily piggy bank.) Mom fills in the numbers to the piggy bank and gets all excited and is jumping up and down?!?! Bob says "I have never seen someone get excited over $9. 43. " Mom stops...looks at him and says "I thought it was $943.00." Poor Mom. With a great twist she made it to the showcase showdown. Let me interject with the fact that this was a big deal because back when this was happening they didn't spin the wheel...oh no they went by who had won the most from their trio. As you read earlier Mom was pretty down on the winnings ladder. But, The woman who had won a car didn't want to go to the showcase beacuse she didn't want to pay any more taxes if she won. (Another tidbit...you have to take all you winnings i.e. sports car , sweet...trip to exotic locale, yeah baby...jet ski, yeah...new furniture, sure okay...rocking chair,eh okay...year supply of ben gay, What?!? So it's all or none!) By lady number 1 stepping down mom was ready to step up to the showdown. Guess what... she won...yep brought home the loot. Motorhome, trips to Europe, Fur Coat( Obviously the 70's before Bob reminded you to get you pets spayed and neutered) dinning room table set...etc. Now by the time they aired the show we already picked up most of the loot. The program was on that night (Again remember 70's when they did a nighttime version of TPIR)...months after the taping...my brother and I are hiding our eyes when the showdown comes up. We were scarred my mom was going to lose and THEY would come and take all the prizes back. So this will start to explain my love of TV and other pop culture medias.
Asta!
