Hey there spooks, I just got back from the Marilyn Manson show at the West Palm Beach auditorium wednesday the 16th. I thought it was cool, wasn't that suprised because It was overall much like the show they played down here (sunrise) last November. Although this time I did manage to get up to the bars unlike last time when the bouncers wouldn't let me on the floor. Snuck my camera in and those pics'll be scanned if they turn out well. Funny, I managed to sneak that in, but they took my zippo lighter! =( ..for the place had a no smoking policy. I'm still pissed I missed helmet, I only saw their last song which was the one from the Judgement Night sndtrk.

Anyway, as we reached the entrance, there was a barrage of christian protestors shoving flyers in our faces and shit like that, it was all over the news and such. After parting w/ my brass zippo, I went in to see helmet's last song. I saw some rasputina but I couldn't hear because of the symphonies of booing going on. I didn't think they were bad at all..but the crowd seemed to despise them. I got pics of them as well. After they left, I ran into two friends of mine that were pricks and refused to let me and my 2 other friends have thier extra backstage passes because they wanted to sell them for more than we had combined.

Then the lights dimmed and angel w/ scabbed wings started, but I wasn't up front yet, My friend had to lift me up so I could get a pic of manson in his crucifixion pose before he started to sing ( I really hope that one came out). They then played some portrait songs, some ACS songs, then apple of sodom which it snowed so conveniently as he said "to cover me in snow" as the easily amused people tried to grab the snow, basically shoving eachother out of the way to touch it as it fell. Then it got dark and bright again and manson was on the podium, and as I stood on twiggy's side, manson threw the bible in zim zum's crowd direction. And the less-than-academic scholars who were on my side *ACTUALLY* stretched their arms out and tried to catch it... visualize this: people on twiggys side stretching their arms out to catch the bible thrown on the other side of the crowd. After realizing the impossibility of this task, everyone had already been placed elsewhere as these people tried to get the damn bible.

Then, before the encore. I reached for my camera to see how much film I had left and an enormous girl in front of me turned around and accused me of trying to "finger her!" Scary thing was: she didn't seem upset! ACK! =(

then basically the show was over after a 2 song encore.
