Matisyahu

Had a great time at the Matisyahu concert, however the crowd left a lot to be desired. It was almost a replica of a frat party...a Jewish frat party at that. I mean, there were actually girls with fake IDs arguing with the dude who hands out bracelets for the bar! Come on, is it really that necessary to drink at a reggae show? First of all, the contact high from all the pot smoking should be enough. And it's not like there's nothing to keep you entertained.

So then strange things kept on happening. First off, the audience was surprisingly young (probably all the parents thought a Jewish rapper would be wholesome enough to let their kids out on a school night). Then there were the two guys pushing each other around, one with a lighter in his hand who almost set fire to the other guy. Then lighter guy came up to me and Sharon while we were quietly chatting away from the crowd and told us he was from Japan (clearly he was not) and slapped our hands really hard. Then one guy came up to us offering to give us the free plastic bracelets they were handing out at the door, then when we said we already had them, dejectedly skulked off. Oh yeah, let's not forget the guy who was crowd surfing with a lit menorah in his hand! Who are these people?!
