one of the most amazing, hard working, crowded, fun shows i have seen in my life. so astounding.
it was like a luscious merry-go-round of musical and graphic candy saturating your senses. you just never know what would come next and what would happen. at the end of it i had to rummage through the empty plastic cups on the theatre floor to find my jaw and my eyeballs.
and so much fan service! (as articulated by ngoc) all they needed was for damon albarn to come out in nothing but a loin cloth, wearing a crown of thorns, wrapped around nautical lou reed as he proclaims himself the saviour of rock and roll.
they made us wait outside (from 4pm) then i found out we were at the wrong door (we we fudged over and all was well) and then we had to wait at a second set of doors, then as we all ran tot he barrier THEY MADE US SIT ON THE FLOOR. like... sit down. on the floor. it was cramped. we were all a bit confused. ngoc and i looked at each other and thought "well no matter how many shows you go to there is always new venue etiquette to learn."
the dj was really great! i mean i was so disappointed we couldnt properly dance to her. the every wonderful ashely mar was there of course.
so maceo from de la soul come out to hype us up. next thing you know he's like "now everyone stand up!" and it was CHAOS and i almost pulled every muscle of my body getting up from catapulting myself to the barrier. we were lucky and got a reasonably good spot. a good spot considering there were huge-gantic speakers all along the stage that turned every beat into an atomic bomb.
as i uploaded these pictures i realised i had taken about 3 every minute the whole night. i actually heard someone behind me saw "does she have to take a photo of everything??" and you know what? i had fun and now i have amazing photos so that bitch can shut her face. you can all benefit from my delinquent trigger finger. here are the highlights:
more pictorial goodness within...
