"Behind the sea... or the Salt Lake!"
I haven't been on LJ since Friday, so some of this may be old hat, but some (POTENTIALLY SPOILERY! WARNING NOW!) tidbits from the Salt Lake HCT show:
- Spencer said that he's from Denver, Colorado and that Brendon is from Utah. I'm assuming he meant that they were born there since obviously they grew up in Vegas, but if Brendon Urie wants to be a native of the same state as me, I'm not going to complain!
- They ended the show with a rocked out version of that "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, good-bye" song, and they didn't do that when I saw the show in Philly, so that was fun!
- For those of you who pay attention to the girlfriend/dating side of things, Ryan didn't call Brendon out as being single in the introduction to Lying. Ryan also didn't sing/mouth along to the Keltie related lyrics of Northern Downpour. So whether Brendon's dating someone or the Ryan/Keltie break-up rumors are true and Ryan didn't want to have to single himself out as well or if it means nothing at all, for all the relationship aficionados, there you go!
- Ryan and Jon made the most hilariously awesome and awful segue into the whole "jazz hands" thing right before There's A Good Reason with a bit about the Utah Jazz. Ryan said, "Jazz fans!" and everyone screamed and Jon was like, "Jazz fans?" and Ryan said, "Oh, well I meant Jazz HANDS." And it was so stupidly funny. And then he and Jon shouted in unison, "Jazz hands!" right before the chorus started and the entire floor threw up jazz hands and it was so ridiculous! I was laughing sooooo hard.
- We got Ryan on guitar and back-up vocals during "Do The Panic" and Brendon singing during "Don't Wake Me Up", both also things that didn't happen when I saw the show in Philly, so again, cool. There were lots and lots bubbles, twice! So much fun.
- Zack is amusing. He was sitting side stage the entire show looking seriously bored eating chips and tabasco sauce. Ryan threw his tambourine at Zack and it totally flew over Zack's head and he tried but couldn't catch it. Very funny. And I know talking about Shane makes some people feel uncomfortable, but he was filming between the barrier and the stage by all the security guards and Brendon came up to him and they did this total buddy fist bump finger wiggle thing, and you guys, it was just really cute.
- Randomly, for a while miss_saigon and I were convinced we saw Eliza Cuts in VIP. "Oh my God, it's Emma!"
As always, I had a wonderful time with my Utah girls, and I can't wait for Vegas next week! Paaaaanic.
ETA: Because I got teased at dinner for thinking this was funny, I felt I should include it. Brendon dropped or tipped over his cup of beer with some impressive splash action and the second it hit the ground he LEAPT back, guitar in his arms, like a freaking cat, and immediately looked at Zack, who dutifully came running with towels to clean it up. I think Jon and Ryan were stalling a little bit because Mad As Rabbits was about to start and Zack was furiously wiping away beer from Brendon's rug. Speaking of Mad As Rabbits, I don't think Jon and Brendon switched instruments this time, perhaps because Brendon was attacked by his plastic red cup.
