continuation of part I:
- sloan: all i have to say is that it was too short!! also, when they
finished playing, i was left with a feeling of "that's it!?" -- it seemed
like a very unceremonious way to end 'sloan'. since i was in the seats, i
couldn't make out many facial expressions, so i don't know how they reacted
throughout the entire set. here's what they played:
* 500 up
* penpals
* before i do [chris on vocals, and it was upbeat]
* snowsuit sound
* same old flame [during this song there were bubbles floating on stage and
chris was trying to pop them]
* coax me [local rabbits and 2 others come up on stage and dance throughout
the song! hilarious!!]
* sugartune
* stood up
* ?? [cover song, i think.. andrew on vox and guitar, jay on bass, chris on
drums, patrick on guitar]
* people of the sky
* pretty voice
* bells on [i loved it. vocals, instrumentation.. it was great]
* worried now
* i am the cancer [no harmony from jennifer pierce. jay capsized during
this track. chris made quoting gestures with his fingers at the part ("so
long scarecrow/ sorry i had to go but") "i shall return"]
* underwhelmed ["affection has 2 f's especailly when you're doing a zine"]
and for the encore...
* i hate my generation [conga line goes across the stage]
and the concert was over at 11 pm. just like that. i still can't believe
that that was it. i wish they played a longer set, i wished they played some
other songs, i wish.... but what's done is done, and i can't change
anything, can i? oh boy, i'm getting melodramatic.
umm, a few observations:
- t-shirt prices were outrageous!! $27!! you gotta be nuts! mike (of hp)
and jennifer (of jale) were apologizing for the prices -- jale even threw
t-shirts into the audience!
- i settled my score with chris murphy ;) i realized that i couldn't beat
him up (not that i'd want to..), so i bumped back into him. also, he gave me
this "you gotta be kidding" look when i asked him for his autograph....
- never got to meet patrick.. *sigh* the obsession ends on a sad note.. (or
does the obsession end?? ;) )
anyways, it was a cool concert, and i hope to meet some 'netters again :)
...sizzle (saying 'hi' back to mr murphy) teen
p.s. shanan, i liked your dress :) too bad it wasn't silver, eh? ;)
