THE CRAMPS, originally uploaded by emilyrems.

What better way is there to celebrate this month’s onset of PMS than to go to my very first Cramps show???? The answer is none. They were the main event at the Motherfucker Labor Day Fiasco at Avalon (the deconsecrated church which the diehard among us refuse to stop calling the Limelight) and the show brought sweet rock ‘n’ roll salvation to my weary soul (not to mention my pissed off uterus). The mosh pit was fierce and surging and I was in the thick of it, only about four bodies away from the stage. I even managed to make out with my hot boyfiend in the middle of the pit amidst all the shoving and punching and kicking and sweating and screaming and jumping. Romantical! My feet got pretty well crushed in the melee and my poor Doc Martens got ripped, but it was totes worth it just to worship at the feet of the ever-stoic Poison Ivy. When Lux Interior spit a mouthful of red wine on our heads and started screaming “Let’s Get Fucked Up!!!!!!” the ecstatic rockabilly frenzy that ensued was so ferociously fun, I thought my heart would burst right out of my low cut dress. I was proud and happy that even in my advanced old age, I can still hold my own down front. Just don’t tell anybody how badly I was whining by the time I dragged my battered ass home at 4 AM.
