You know how “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton starts, when she’s like “Making my way downtown” and everything feels so pristine and romantic? That’s pretty much how my first Saturday of November got started. I gracefully made my way downtown on the trolley, eating a Carl’s Jr. burger and dreaming of a fun day out as I passed through the neighborhoods I grew up in. It was cute. A little smelly, since (that’s the trolley for you!) but cute.
Once I got to Petco Park, that cuteness subsided very quickly. It was time to headbang, jump up and down, and simply let the wild animal living inside of me… out! No one goes to Dia De Los Deftones to just sit cutely and quietly on the small hillside. They go to rock, and that’s exactly what went down all throughout the evening.
