Dying 2 Live

Last night we packed up the whole family in the minivan, including my still-nursing-a-broken-leg-fresh-outta-knee-surgery wife and my two foster kids… Mykaila and Darien, and cruised on out to the closing night of Dying 2 Live in Watertown. I totally forgot about Day of Fire playing Friday night, but my kids wouldn’t let me forget about ‘my name is KJ AKA KJ-52‘ on Saturday.

We went early so Trisha could help out at the KJ-52 merchandise table. Everybody was talking about how great Day of Fire, and 33Miles were the night before. I SHOULD’VE GONE!!! I caught the end of Mike Guzzardo, heard a little bit of Infusion (from right here in Beaver Falls, NY) and then listened to “DC Gump” in between chasing the boys around the place.

There was a pretty good crowd of kids there and “five-tweezy” had everybody with their hands in the air… wavin’ em like they just don’t…. *sigh* I can’t stop it now, keep it goin’ now… Anyway, KJ did a bunch of old school stuff to kick it off and get the place movin’. Ha threw in some new tracks from “The Yearbook” and a freestyle jam about 3 random objects picked from the crowd (an empty Tootsie Roll wrapper, a cell phone, and Bill Jepma’s football), the band had the place laughin’ went they went into a rendition of “Jump” by Van Halen, which got them “fired” by KJ, then later they let loose with “Who Let The Dogs Out”, and started some Backstreet Boys before KJ cut ‘em off. Everybody had a blast. Even Gabe was standing on his chair bouncin’ to the beat. Later on after the Pillar concert (which ROCKED… LOUD by the way) KJ hung out and signed anything and everything my kids could get their hands on.

“Whose idea was this, a Christian Floridian rappin’ white kid
whoever did must’ve flipped they lid, he’s bugged out and dances like Taylor Hicks”

Who cares KJ… just keep doin’ yo thang!
