Doowutchyalike

When the classic hip-hop group "Digital Underground" came to Cincinnati in 2000 I bet the last thing they wanted to see front row was four white, preppy dudes wearing Polo's like Brian, Ted, Adam, and I, but that's exactly what they got!

As the lights in the club dimmed a hype-man got on the mic and announced this show was being taped and segments of the concert would be available on their Live Tour DVD and online... if you didn't know, that's like saying "I Dare You" to me and Brian.

Soon classic beats start to pour out of the speakers and the four of us weasel our way to the front row on a stage that came up to our belly's. They rapped all our favorites; Doowutchyalike, Freaks of the Industry, Underwater Rhymes and we were jumping up and down like broken pogo sticks. Out of the corner we see a stage-hand run out with an armful of beers for the lead Shock G. Why on Earth he set them directly in front of us I have no idea, but we took it as an invitation. After about 30 seconds we snagged one of Shock G's Coronas and were "taking a knee" sharing in chugging it. Obviously if you're reading this you know Brian and chugging with Brian is a bunch of no fun since he holds the world record in making beers disappear down his gullet. So one beer turned to 3 then 4, but nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the look on Shock G's face when he looks down to see all his beers empty and Brian holding the last of the six-pack raising the roof with it!

Best part, Shock was cool with it and waved to his guy to bring out more! Next thing you know he's handing us beers and laughing at us through Kiss You Back. For the final tune, Humpty Dance, the band comes out with silly string and homeboy throws us a can to squirt all over the each other and the jealous crowd!

Turns out we all made it onto the website with the group saying it was the best show on tour!

Brian, you lived life to the fullest and I miss you more everyday Bro.
