Okay, so it wasn't Really a concert. It was just a tailgate party for the Argo's, and the band only played one measly hour. But that's okay. After all the effort to get down to the Skydome, and find the park (pretty measly park) and waiting for them to pop up while inhailing the smoke of the guy next to me who couldn't take the subtle hint of my coughing everytime he blew a breath in my face and then taking the rain...it was all worth it. It was so worth it. As soon as they came out they blew me the heck away! John was jumping and dancing all over the stage right from the first chord. Geoff and the guy who looked like Joxer (who's name I don't know) joined in not long after, and when Vince came out from behind the drums, he was doing it too. They have the most Amazing energy! It was rapture. When they did "Bone of Contention" (which was dedicated to poor Pee-Wee Herman - "and he grabbed it by the hand...and he pulled and pulled...") there's a part of the song where they slow down and John sings a little slower with a little more emphasis, and through the whole thing the band seemed like they were Noticing the crowd and making eye contact and wotnot, and SO HELP ME, at this part John looked at me and started dragging his fingernail across the strings of his guitar s l o w l y which made me Freak inside! SexySexySexy!! My smile (I felt like I was smiling like some teenybobpper, but I couldn't help myself. I had my hands clasped under my chin and a Huge grin on my face.) just got bigger and bigger as his finger moved along and he smiled at me like he was amused. That was NEAT! It started raining in the middle of "And If Venice is Sinking" (irony!). It started out pretty mild but it seemed like the harder they played, the harder the rain fell. It only added to the atmosphere...I actually loved the rain a whole lot and was thankful I didn't wear that white tee-shirt after all. They played the first few chords of "Home For a Rest" and the crowd FREAKED!! They started screaming and hollering and some guy with a horn was blowing it like crazy! I was thrilled to be amidst other SotW fans at last! Everyone started singing along with the band...just the first little bit. Then they stopped playing and the crowd responded by freaking out again. It was great! They all laughed and listened to us hollering and then BOOM all of a sudden into the hard and fast part. Everyone started jumping up and down and singing and the music was really freaking loud and the rain was falling hard! When they came to the end of the song they did the typical Hard Ending with lots of drums and guitar all at once, and then stopped. Crowd freaked. they did the ending again. Crowd Freaked. Band did a slow motion "victory" dance with John falling to his knees and crying. The crowd Really freaked! they played the ending one more time when it really looked like they weren't gonna. It was Fantastic!! Then they were like "thank you very much!" and hustled off the stage. The crowd kept hollering and Horn Boy kept blowing and they came back out and called Horn Boy up onto the stage to do a number with them. What a hoot!! They did "The Crawl", which is the only song I recognized from their first album. One hour. I was elated and excited and hyped up and exhausted all at once. I wonder what a Real show would be like. I can't wait till the next time they play in the city. Nothing will keep me away!! I never knew John was so sexy, either. He's got a fantastic presence. I'm so thrilled. So thrilled!! I love the high. |

I sent them an e-mail promising freshly baked cookies if they should come back to entertain me. I'm hoping word of my cookies has reached them even now. |

~ ...And if Venice is sinking, I'm going under Cause beauty's religion and it's christened me with wonder. ~ |
Maybe I'll go to Burlington and see them at Big Buck's Mountain Lodge, too. That would be pretty neat. |

I sent an e-mail to their website getting irate because I couldn't find Esplanade Biere Market, and todaygot a reply from Hugh. teehee. I had no idea someone in the band would be reading my rantings, or I would have made a greater effort to seem intelligent. Anyway, they fixed it up so all the places where they're playing have phone numbers now. I gave Biere market a call and they said my boys weren't playing there. So what the heck?!? Maybe it's not confirmed yet. Maybe I talked to a moron. I'll try again in a few days or a week. I think their url is http://www.spiritofthewest.bc.ca Go look for yourself. Maybe I'll try calling Ticketmaster and asking if they know anything about it. I know I can get tickets for their Burlington show through Ticketmaster. I could save a whole two bucks! Wowweeee!! |
Right now I'm really into the band Belly, a good 1995 band, I love her voice, her lyrics, the sound of the songs, I think my art teacher even liked them. it's a shame they broke up. Tomorrow I get to see Tori Amos and I am psyched. |

I was pissed at the impotent guy I went to the breeders show with because months later he had me drive his younger girlfriend-wannabe who looked like me to the velocity girl show. I knew she was naive and scared, so I had a chick friend of mine light up the pipe while I was driving, and I took a really long hit with one hand while I steered us around the curvy part of a long bridge with the other. I know she was shitting her fucking stretch pants. so I offered it to her next, knowing she would say no. she may have stuttered on the second syllable, the hurried "thanks." hahahahahahahahahahahahahha. |
I think she was in Throwing Muses too, but I couldn't find any of their mp3's. I knew she was in the Breeders, but what part did she play? Never heard anything from Velocity Girl. -oh wait, I think I did, the Clueless soundtrack my friend had. Heh. That was 5 years ago. |
she's done a lot of solo stuff too, I think. |
|
I'll play my la la shit for you anytime. la la la la la. I had a crush on her too. I must have been 21. |
|
