Rock!

I just got back from seeing the Floydian Slips.

It was awesome.

I got a "wtf psycho fan" look from the drummer who also plays Pink in the Wall bits, because he was glad-handing fans, and I was wearing my Hammer Party "uniform" complete with armband and hammer patch, and I went over and did the hammer sign at him. He did it back, but not after a O.o sort of look at me. *grin*

It's really interesting how many musicians it takes to reproduce Floyd's sound. They had two drummers, four guitarists, (two electric, an acoustic, and a bass) a keyboard guy who also had a sound board for all the sampled stuff, and a female vocalist. And at some points all eight of those people were playing/singing at once. Floyd's sound is so rich for a reason, a lot goes into it.

Anyhow, I shall repeat that it was awesome! And that I plan on expanding my costume, and possibly taking a trip to Portland to catch their next concert. They're actually touring, albiet a rather small and tour that gets no further from here than Seattle. And speaking of costume, Tech? At some point I must poke you about an accessory I need for it.

Now I need to go get food and have a shower. I reek. I had a beer spilled on me, and also if you could really get high off of second hand pot smoke I would be so very stoned, but as is, it's merely adding to the smell. Ugh. At least pot doesn't reek as bad as tobacco does.

XD You so crazy! I'm glad you had a good time. Who are the Floydian Slips? *is such a pitiful fan, needs to know these things!*

They're a Pink Floyd tribute band based out of Eugene Oregon. Until recently they've performed only once a year, they all belong to other bands and do other gigs the rest of the time. They're REALLY good.

Are you sure you can't get high off of second-hand pot smoke? :-) I've always been taught that you can.

The relevant chemicals break down too rapidly in the open air, is what I've heard.

yesh

I have never got high off second hand smoke and i am the biggest lightweight as far as ANY drugs go. I've not personally smoked, but have been in really skanky concert halls where some idiots decide to light up right by me. It stinks, but you don't get high off it...

neat!

Well, you ARE a psycho fan, but you're a fun psycho, so it's all good. *grins*
