The key guide to live shows, part 1

Tonight is the first concert of the summer, seeing Matisyahu at the FleetBoston Pavilion. There are important things to remember when seeing a show:
1. Wear comfortable clothes. Try to avoid layers, due to the fact that you will want to shed them, and then, therefore lose them. Also try to avoid logos of bands that are a genre very different from the show you want to see. Remember: Sonic Youth shirt at a Pixies concert, OK, blink-182 shirt at a Pantera concert, most definitely NOT OK.
2. Eat beforehand. But not too close beforehand.
3. General admission shows are your friend. Not only does it mean the tickets are cheaper, it also means you can get up close and personal without shelling out extra money.

Yeah, those tips aren't that helpful, but I try. Speaking of trying, Jello Biafra is doing a spoken word performance in Somerville on June 23rd. Anyone interested in going? Let me know.
