City and Colour Fans Hate Me

"City and Colour!" he screamed as I tuned my guitar and got my microphone in place.
"Play Coming Home!" he yelled as we rang out at the beginning of the set.
"Fuck This!" he said as he threw a large cup filled with ice directly at my face.

So many questions running through my mind.
Who threw it?
Do I put down my guitar and punch the guy?
I wonder if he is big?
Are the guys gonna get mad if I stop the set to beat up some kid?

I decide I'm going to do it and I take my guitar off to go into the crowd. Just as I go to get off the stage George pushes me out of the way and hops down to the barrier. He spits in the guys face and throws his microphone at him. Then security comes out of nowhere and drags the kid off.

But, George didn't stop there. During the last song a Canadian flag lawn chair got passed up to the front. Not only did George manage to sit on the lawn chair on top of the crowd. But, then he somehow managed to stand on top of it and even jump off onto the crowd.

Bruno was pretty funny,
wade.

    Geez, that's not true. Not every fan of C&C doesn't like you, Wade ;P

    Anyway, George and his supporting you amazed me ;)

    Hahahaha. Aww!

    Not all C&C fans hate you, I'm a (pretty huge) C&C fan and I love AOF with the same amount of my heart that I love C&C.

    George really likes you! He really really likes you! (Is it still cool to make Sally Field references?)

    Wade, I don't hate you. You're the fucking man, man! Your so bad ass by the way George. Damn, none of my friends would stand up for me like that. What was Dallas' reaction to all this?
