Wow, what an interesting day.....
....but about the show.
One of the better lineups i've seen at a Tech show. XTA-C, Vertigo, Hobo Tone, BG Bulletwound, S&S and of course Tech.
It was nice to see Vertigo perform again. It's been like 15 years since I seen them.
I didn't get a chance to see XTA-C, obligations to the merch area and filming Uncle Charlie outside took most of my time early in the night.
After seeing about 40 impatiant people leave.....and another 10 or so get thrown out.....I thought.....why do people pay $15 dollars for a show when they can't take being at a venue for more than 3 hours at a time....or cant hold their liqour.
I mean, is this an on going problem? Do people actually think that a headliner will go on right when the doors open?
Like I saw this one chick freak out on her phone to someone because some people started a rummor that Tech got arrested and wont be coming. Then she freaked out because it was almost 11:00 and he wasn't on yet.
I dont get it.
Anyways......Tech rocked a sold out crowd (minus the people who couldn't stand the wait). And as much as they showed little life when we tried to film the crowd outside, they actually showed a lot of love once Tech hit the stage. People went absolutely fucking crazy.
To all the people who called the blue note or came to the box office and didnt get a ticket because the show was sold out earlier in the day.......NOW YOU KNOW.
And let this be a lesson for yall for future shows......get your tickets early...you can always find someone to buy them at a later date if you need to. Shit, we were thinkin about buying some tickets and scalping them for $30 outside the show......probablly could have gotten more from some people.
It was a great show and I had an AWESOME time.....also you MU students.....be on the look out for a feature in your student paper about the Strange Music Merchandise table.......featuring Strange Music's own "Gordon Prichet" hahahaha.
