todays' show was okay. just a bit too teenybopper-ish for me. i sat up in
the balcony area. (a sara first!) wasn't too bad. got to see the *entire*
thing for a change, like how much effort ginger's putting into playing the
drums, part of backstage, these intersting green glow in the dark buttons
near mwg's keyboards, the glow in the dark tape on the cube...that sort of
thing. it was *very* interesting and cool. =) but i missed being in front
of the cube! *pout*. so they come out and play, and they're all happy, and
zim zum's *rilly* getting into it, i'm just like, "um, zim, yer outta
character. calm down." guess he was rilly pumped cuz he was back home. and
it was funny. twiggy killed his bass. the black one. i saw
earlier...during "dried up'(i think!) that he was unhappy with the thing.
he took it off but the speakers obstructed my view. then after misery
machine he totally killed it. he was throwing it all over and finally he
broke it. it was quite odd. then he came back out fer "the man that you
fear" with the white bass (i think). it was quite interesting. so
*anywayz* the moral of this story is: balcony sucks compared to front
row, but you leave looking nice and tidy. and *another* sara first, i
didn't sing along.
i swear, security always been rilly evil, but i mean, it just takes the
cake now. i came outta the riviera after the aftershow thing and there
were cops out there telling the people to leave. it's quite ridiculous.
but! after the show i got to see people from ohio! (those twin girls, if
anyone remembers them) and while i was talkign to them, *more* police
showed up and told us to move. it was quite annoying rilly. after that we
left. but before that was cool. spoke to ginger briefly. he nearly got
hit by a car. that was kinda....wierd. he was just zooming across the
street in the middle of traffic without paying attention. kinda scary
imho.
but anyway, before the show, zim zum was all over the place. kinda like
ginger was in earlier tours...and no one realized it was him cept fer me.
he had this paranoid, "does anyone recognize me?!?!?" look on his face.
kinda odd. no makeup, his hair up in a ponytail. he looked hideous. maybe
he just needs eyebrows. i just think it's upsetting how the band can't
rilly go anywhere without being recognized/mobbed now. well, zim zum can,
the other 4 can't.
oh yeah. got to meet/speak/take picture with the bassist from ny loose.
whoever the hell he is. he is the *spitting* image of someone i know...i
just don't know who though...can ya tell i don't like ny loose? and it's
all cuz that fucking lead singer spit on me.
