Alright, so after having gotten two hours of sleep friday morning (or thursday night-extended) I seemed to think that it was an okay idea to get into the school spirit and hang out till 330 Friday night and get another two hours of sleep before rushing to make the bus and almost missing it....and forgetting to bring my cds, among other things I'm sure I have yet to notice.
So I got on the bus and came to Portland.
And A Perfect Circle played.
And it was awesome.
It was awesome, great music, great lights, great presence, great audience, the works.
But even better were the between songs antics.
Michael Jackson jokes.
James Iha's squeaky clean jokes.
Jeordie White's singing songs about the Sasquatch.
More jokes.
James Iha singing the backstreet boys song.
"Jeord forgot where we are."
"We're not in the big apple? we're not in oregon?....Portland!"
"Maine, for fuck's sake."
The after show presentation of the "Jeordie and James" show, jamming out with James on bass and Jeordie singing about the Sasquatch once more, but that was only after he decided to make some weird musical vocal sounds. And then he took over the drums for a bit. Hell yeah.
And then James walked about the stage talking for a while, telling jokes, and pseudo stories. While the crew started tearing down. So he tried to interview crew members, and they pretty much ignored him.
And the music was incredible. It really takes a live show sometimes to remind me of how much certain music means to me. I can't believe I forgot my cds....oh well. I'll rip a few from friends.
So yeah, good times. And more good times to come all week. So chances are I'll post once in a while. Woo.
