Welp, I get into Seattle on the 16th and have basically two days to waste, so i looked around and rode the funky monorail. :) i get in touch with Aleck (Brian) and he was way fuckin nice on the phone, but we neglected to make plans to hook up at the show. anyhoo.. this is the first show BTW. i get in, decided to leave the camera at the hotel, so i wasn't nervous or nothing.. get to the floor (moore theatre was all seating, with a balcony too).. park my ass in the front/left of the stage. i see a guy with shaved head and goatee.. ask him if he was Brian and it was! he was with, of course, Thessaly. both people extremely nice and cool, I wish i coulda spent more time with them cuz they are way wicked. ok, the guards signal the crowd that we could all run up to the maybe 8-10 feet from the barricade to the front row to start a pit.. small fuckin pit.. but i cared not cuz i was right against the barricade. :)
L7 came on, and allow me to digress here... I FUCKING LOVE THEM NOW!!!!! I didn't pay much attention to them in Vancouver, but both nights in seattle they rocked my canuck ass.. the non/singing guitarist chick even remembered me on the 2nd night and smiled at me. :) great openers.. fuck, i will go see them now by themselves.. great performers, talked to the crowd, made jokes.. had technical difficulties on the 2nd night (singer kept saying she could smell something burning.. it was a wire or something).. the first night she kept calling us lame and stuff and then played "i would walk 500 miles".. it was hilarious. The drummer and bassist are hot too . :) ok, onto manson.
First night was total energy drainer, i was right in front of Twiggy screaming and yelling and chanting and being a general sheep person, but it's fun as hell. during dogma i think, manson took a swig of red wine and spit it in the crowd.. some went in my mouth.. it was cool.. hehehehe. but i got him back cuz during the break in, i think, lunchbox, i spit on him a few times. :P Zim basically stood in the same spot all night.. pogo was his usual wacked self, ginger was playing damn good.. he's awesome. at one point, two girls right behind me took off their shirts to reveal their bras and twiggy stared at them for like 2 minutes, i was total funny. shorter set than vancouver too.. this time they left out minute of decay, 1996 and misery machine.. BAH!! but IHA was intense. at the end one of the security guards gave me 2-3 of the ripped bible.. on the 2nd night, i got one of manson's red picks. :)
