New Years Eve with Gwar

Gwar played at the National tonight for New Years Eve.

The show started at 8pm, which was the same time I was supposed to get out of work, but luckily my manager understood how epic this event was going to be and agreed to let me duck out early

I met up with Brian, Andy, and DJ around 8. Andy was suppose to get a bottle of Night Train for this amazing occasion, but had to settle for a normal bottle of cheap wine. This was a regular size bottle of wine and Andy chugged the bitch in only two gulps; all while sitting in Brian's back seat. It was amazing to witness. After he was done chugging, the bottle was left in the street and we went to the National.

They opened the show with the Richmond Lucha Libre. Wrestling and Gwar? Yes please. Afterwards was the opening band whose name escapes me right now. The lead singer reminded us of a juggalo, which was kinda a turn off. He did have a crazy mask and kept referring to the crowd as emosexuals. That part was pretty good.

Finally Gwar came on stage. Epic. All the money I dropped on expensive beer at the show was made up for when they came out.
One of the gnarliest experiences of my life. Oderus came on stage with an infant in his hands. He ripped the fucker in half then placed each half on the corpse on the huge spikes on his shoulders.
It was their Electile Dysfunction tour so everything was politic related. They had John McCane come out and they ripped his face off. Later Hillary Clinton and Obama showed up. They decapitated Obama then ripped Hillary's tits off. Typical Gwar style, blood and shit was spraying everywhere. I plan on never washing this shirt. In the end, any band whose lead singer gets a 40lb crack rock syringed in his dick, is going to be an awesome show. If you ever get the chance to see Gwar live, do it. Everybody should experience this at least once in their lifetime.





When the show ended, Brian, Andy, and I ventured to Waffle House. We stuck out a bit.





I'm going to try to get more photos from Andy to post later.
