MOG

Here's to you Mr. Buzz Killington, douchebag extraordinaire (i.e. doorman) at the Metro Theater in Chicago.

Here's to you for seeing two brothers and their ladyfriends revelling, having a good time, not causing any trouble: only hoping to see Spoon rock out amidst a flurry of tickertape and the persistent breathy hum of a hundred noisemakers.

Here's to you for seeing their joy and tramping on it.

Here's to you for not agreeing to let us throw out our "outside beverages" that were not actually prohibited in the establishment.

Here's to you for "escorting" us out during THE FIRST SONG.

Here's to you for resisting the "come on bro, be cool" approach and subsequent pleas for clemency .

Here's to you for not letting me get my jacket even though it was FIVE F---ing degrees outside.

Here's to you doorman. I pour one out for you. Literally.
