well since most of you have been to the new shows, i guess there's really no need for a long, detailed review. the show was my first of two on this tour (off to detroit today for tomorrow's show) and i was pretty wide-eyed and jaw- to-the-floor the whole show.

i do have a few comments though.

1.) what a LAME ass crowd cleveland was last night. it was obvious that it was affecting Manson and disappointing and pissing him off...because he asked us more than once to get louder and he even threatened once that "i'm not gonna play another goddamn song until you show me something." (something to that extent anyways) did anyone else pick up on how unenthuastic the crowd seemed to be. the only time the crowd was really into the show was when they played their older tunes (re: lunchbox, cake and sodomy and the mini-ACS performance). there was no encore last night and i can almost bet it was the crowd that convinced Manson it wasn't worth it.

2.) someone fix twiggy's speakers, please. although it was cute to see him sort of freaking out on stage and yelling at the roadies, i don't think they need any added tension/problems on stage. i mean, it does kind of seem like manson's a tad uneasy up there (maybe it was just last night and it was a reaction to the crowd) and i'm sure added problems only make him more pissed and tensed and uneasy.

3.) strippers! well not really but basically. that was the only comment my mom had on the show..."he didn't do all that SEX stuff before erika" "mom, you saw him when he had that black phallus swinging everywhere" "oh, i guess you're right". i thought the big DRUGS sign and the big speech about "But Marilyn Manson...Jesus Christ invented Cocaine....and Marilyn Manson, Jesus Christ invented L-S-D..." would offend her more but i guess not.

well i guess that's all i have time to really say. i'm off to michigan today (in like 20 minutes...ahh!) so hopefully i'll see some michigan spooks there at the show tomorrow.

btw...it was very nice seeing some of the spooks there last night. rudy =), jeff, jay, elizabeth, paula!, judy, jenny, regina =) i hope some of you got your manson candy bags!
