colberryI don't really post much about my daily, random life (I think this has become a fic & meme journal, haha) - not that much of you are probably interested, but I felt like posting something a little different today :D
Suffice to say I had an interesting weekend. Full of awesomeness, but definitely out-there. But I guess that's "normal" for any weekend that involves seeing Ke$ha in concert XDD
Anyone who knows me knows that Ke$ha is one of my guilty pleasures -- I admit it shamelessly, haha. Actually, a lot of my fics have at least one Ke$ha song attached to it in some way... Anyhoo! The show was put on at my college so we got really awesome ticket prices (I think student ones were $20 - $25) and I was really surprised at how much stuff they fit into our smallish venue (let's just say we're not the size of UVA, haha).
The doors opened up around 6:30 and even though me and my group of decidedly-naive friends showed up at 6:00, there was already a pretty sizable line already waiting. The outfits... Oh my sweet Jesus, the outfits. As me and my roommate were getting ready, I remember quirking a brow at her putting on a dress and heels (can anyone say "sore-fucking-feet"?). But apparently my choice of clothes - dark skinny jeans, navy t-shirt with "hello" written in large yellow letters, maroon bomber-jacket and navy converse - was the minority that night... I really should have expected the multitude of ripped-tights, blue-lipstick, and trash-bag-dresses (those were the best XD), but alas I still found myself blinking incoherently.
Actually, I have a funny story involving outfits. There was this perfectly nice guy that came up to me and my posse earlier that day and asked where the venue was since they weren't familiar with our campus. He actually was really cute with his plaid shirt, jeans and rectangle glasses. Well. Once we finally made it into the venue, I was looking around at the crowd and noticed someone dressed in leopard tights, peacock earrings and a trash bag dress. It was him. Talk about TOTAL TRANSFORMATION. Hahah! I gave him major kudos - it takes major balls to parade around not giving a fuck :D
Needless to say, I snagged a spot next to him because I knew he'd be entertaining to watch the show with XD
I won't go into major details since I can tell this entry is already getting a little too text-heavy, so here are the basics (in convenient bullet format yay!):
Oh, and since no journal entry is complete without a meme...

- An ...interesting... middle-aged man that looked like he was dragged out of the 70s by his toenails named Beardo opened the show with, again, "interesting" songs (including a lovely ballad "Fuck School")
- 3OH3! was the main-opener and OH MY GOD they were fantastic! I've never been a huge fan of them, but holy crap they sounded AMAZING live. I wasn't expecting much because they use a lot of synth and whatnot on their CDs -- and there I was, headbanging and jumping erratically with my friends and trash-dress-man :D
- I actually think I spent most of my energy with 3OH3!, haha
- Half the audience was drunk (big shocker)
- A third of that had to receive medical attention for "tossing their cookies" - one of whom I got to see up close and personal...
- OH MY GOD THE GLITTER - IT SHALL STAY STUCK ON ME FOR WEEKS
- Yay for balloon-glitter-confetti-cannons!
- The Harold Song ♥
- Holy crap, her dancers were AWESOME. And quite lovely to look at. They were wearing some sort of shoulder-pad-feather thing that really reminded me of Uruha's recent look XD
- Santa Claus showed up
- So did a guy in a pear costume ("Grow a Pear")
- ...And a guy in a penis costume
- A guy walked past us saying, "This is my nightmare"
- Drunk guy randomly turned around to our little group and gave us two thumbs up and exclaimed, "Keep dancinggggg!"
- HOMG tour shirts that have my college town's name on it??! *squeal* (didn't buy anything though ^^;)
- I've never experienced so many lasers in my life
- I think my heartbeat changed to match the pump of the bass
- Wow, Ke$ha actually sang pretty well...
- And YAY! Free condoms for everyone! Blueberry flavored!
- Trash-bag-dress-guy's name is Kevin :D
