yeah, man. this is totally fun.
my new job in photos. 2nd show. Washington, DC. 9:30 club.
before.
during.
find the laptop screen. that's the dude i work for, right in front of that. he does not give a fuck. more than any other punk i have worked for or known in my life. he does not give a FUCK. all he asks for is "an inch of space for his right arm" so he can move the mouse. see the bald dude? last night i did that guys job. the big security dudes in baltimore had to actually HOLD the table to keep it from going off stage and i stood about 3 feet closer to gregg than that dude. partly cause this crowd was rowdier and partly because i am not a big ass bald mofo that can't be budged. instead i dealt with the most tenacious teenager i have ever met in my life. i went onstage about 15 minutes in when some shit got unplugged (another thing that, while not desirable, does not seem to faze girl talk) and this girl was ontop of another pressing up on him
i flashed her with my light, told her to move back. she did. then i sort of positioned myself between her and the table. she spent the next 75 minutes trying to weasel her legs, arms, head in front of me. i would gently push her back and reestablish myself and 30 seconds later she is right back. kids were asking me if i was having fun, having conversations with me in the midst of this and i have to admit. it was kind of fun. it was as sweaty but less violent than straight edge shows i went to as a kid. yeah, way less violence and way more fun vibe. i can't say i want to do it every night, but it's pretty exhilirating.
seriously. find the laptop.
giant plastic balloon. we use leaf blowers to blow them up
after.
30 more to go and really, i am sort of not looking forward to the end. but i will say that broken social scene will be a breeze after this.
that is bonkers
