OK, I realize this review is a bit late, but after the show I spent the weekend at my friends in N.H.

The show was fucking fabulous. A very highly emotional one. The crowd was a bit on the rough side. (like the guy who thought holding onto my rib was a great way to stay in place.)

before the show I was waiting with JPyers and Jester on line. (Hey, Janet, DEW!!!) It was decided that I was Satan...don't ask...I don't know how it came about, but I'm SATAN!!! (at least I now have an identity, haha) I got to meet Silverdark, (and I believe her boyfriend but I can't remember his name) because Silverdark was wearing DarkOne's list shirt (power to list shirts) She rocked. :) (And silverdark is female for all those who may be confused)

Got together with my friends Allizon, Jeannette, Ckath-E, Kristen, and Sonny...some of you may remember Allizon and Jeannette from Dayton and Wheeling, and Kristen and Sonny from Wheeling. Carrie, I missed you!!!! And damn we had no p-coms! :( EVB, I hope I hope I hope you're doing better.

OK, on to the show....

I was back up front on Twiggy's side. (my spot damnit!!! I will not stand in front of Manson anymore) L7 was good that night, but I really just wanted to see Manson. Most of the time I want to see the openers too, but for some reason I just didn't care about anything but Manson this one evening. Just a vibe, I guess.

Usual announcement about not throwing stuff...smoke fills the stage and pours out over the crowd...natives getting very restless now...ppl chanting Manson...me and Ckath-E holding the barrier for dear life...notes...Angel with the Scabbed Wings...and the crowd bursts. The energy was high and flowing.

Manson very into it...Twiggy jumping around everywhere..Pogo pacing back and forth, Manson is a ball of energy unleased...Zimmy rocking out, but staying kinda put at the same time...Ginger just letting loose on the drums.

Usual set list...no problems so far,...YES!!! Twiggy looks absolutely beautiful with his new hair cut. I loved it. You can see those big watery brown eyes so much better now. :)

Crowd is still brutal, but I wasn't noticing till after the show when I could feel how badly smushed I was...

Tourniquet! what can I say...it was so full of emotions and power. I was in tears yet again. It ripped thru me. One of the best performances of it IMHO.

I still love the change from Cryptorchid to ACS. I have yet to tire of it. It seems so fresh each show. (I caught some bible pages this time too :) Things are still going well. Twiggy was hyper as hyper could be...jumping around, kicking the bass, just kicking, little dances and faces for each song.

There were protester outside, so we got the *you are in church motherfuckers* line. They played deformography. It rocked. They left the stage, came back for encores...IHA. Fucking terrific. Then Mr. Manson crashed the drums with mic stand. ARRRR!! I'm thinking that this was it. but no, the roadies came out and put the drums back together as best they could and the mic stand with flowers appeared...

They all come back out for Man That You Fear. Absolutely incredible. Highly emotional...I can't explain what I was feeling...I just cried thru it...I had to stop looking at Mr. Manson. I just couldn't take it anymore. After the song was over, the during the *when all of your wishes are granted...* part, everyone but Twiggy left the stage. Twiggy knocked over his amp/cabinet, put the bass down on top of it and then curled himself up really really small on top, just hugging the bass. He then finally got up and left the stage too.

I just turned around on the barrier and slid down and cried for a bit. John then came over and gave me an aftershow pass and water. Asked if I was Ok and whatnot. I said I wasn't physically hurt so I was ok. He said he understood.

The aftershow was good...All the guys except Mr. Manson were there. Twiggy kinda kept to himself but I did get to talk to him for a bit. He seems kinda down. and Pogo sat down on the floor with me for half and hour talking with me. (it was weird, fun, but weird) and I got to talk to Zimmy for a bit. (well, more like Zimmy talked and I listened...we all know how zimmy can talk :) Zim said he thinks they'll be in Wisconsin around April 3rd. DarkOne...HooDoo....I expect a full review!! And Zim is still talking about the Dayton shirt. DarkOne, you've outdone yourself this time. :)

UGH!! Skank girl was at the show, and managed to use an old pass to get backstage. I HATE HER!!! She kept talking to me. I kept walking away, and she kept coming back...I wanted to kill her. I didn't tho. (You can't just go around killing ppl...You have to torture them first. And I didn't have time for torture. hehe) Seriously tho, I just do not like her. She was still trying to convince me that she didn't take Kelli's money. (very guilty consience, heh)

And there were these two girls who couldn't have been older than 14 at the most. Both of them had on these mini-dresses, but they turned down the tops of them so it was like a bra and skirt deal. The one asked me if I thought Manson would be coming back and I said I doubted it, and then the girl said (and I quote) "I just want to touch his dick". UGH!!! What's wrong with shaking his hand and saying great show?!! I just rolled my eyes at her and walked away very disgusted.

But aside from Skank Girl and the mini-dress girls the aftershow crowd was pretty OK...talked to this guy Tommy that I've met at other shows. He had this stuffed monkey that the guys signed for his kid and Zimmy brought it to Mr. Manson to sign and then brought it back to Tommy and Tommy's wife (I don't remember her name, Damn...she's cool too) and of course, Ckath-E and Kristen and Sonny were there. So all in all it was good.

John finally came and rounded up the guys and me and my friends left. It was a great show. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Can't wait for April....gotta see more Manson shows :)
