ravings of a mad jobe

Well, the rest of the show last night was pretty kick ass. They had 3 or 4 LED screens which were used quite effectively, 100s of those swivel lights that I called Gobo lights last night (but may in fact be called PAR lights instead), all used to add so much to what would have been an amazing concert just based on the music alone!

Highlights:

• Running into so many people I knew: Rob, Scott Q, Cal, Randy, Craig, Kirstin were all there and I knew they’d be there before arriving, but then I also ran into Jen Murray (nee Schacter), Steve Zaychuk (serfas!), Travis from work, Mike Gamble from CPSC333… And I hardly even moved from my spot on the floor!
• All the mosh thrashers with Blackberries! (Just let me finish this email… send… ok, now MOSH!!!)
• Hurt was awesome, so many lighters (and like no cell phones — I guess that tradition isn’t ready for the big screen yet)
• A huge section of the floor area all of a sudden becoming the center of the mosh pit as March of the Pigs starts.
• Crystal Castles!!! I know I posted about this already, but man, I was just that happy to see them. Hopefully next time they do more non-screamy songs. Seemed to be the general consensus with other open-minded music listeners too who were hearing them for the first time.

Well, as Mike put it — a bold choice to open for Nine Inch Nails, but I loved it! Sad that all of the songs they played were full of the screaming chick, so it’s tough for new people to enjoy, but meh, whatever! I got a shirt of theirs! Muhahahaha!

NIN is next, they just uncovered 119 swivel lights (Mike thinks they’re called Gobos)… This is gonna rock!

As an aside, it took us forever to figure out 17 * 7. Boo us!!

Update later!

OK, so — one thing’s for sure, I’m not a very good blogger! However, today Wordpress for iphone was released and I just so happen to have one! Will it make me blog more? Will it just take up a couple megs on my new device? Stay tuned to find out!

Kang: Hmm… Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
[crowd cheers and waves miniature flags]

He could just read the crowd better than Kodos could!
