In the past two weeks I have:
- photographed two topless females for different projects. it seems like something one would have to be a bit more prefessional for, but what can i say, people love to take their top off for art.
- seen my favorite band in the entire world at the social. I thought the bassist in the opening band was literally retarded for about half of their set. I almost got hit in the eye with the bass a few times. Art Brut is awesome. Besides the fact that they are just so fucking good, they also have the coolest socks in the world. Like, you couldn't even get those socks in America.
- seen Blue Oyster Cult, Foreigner, and Styx perform in West Palm Beach. Observations:
- Blue Oyster Cult have not aged well. We thought they were just some random opening band for awhile. But they closed with Don't Fear the Reaper (obviously) and it was pretty cool.
- Foreigner was just freakin awesome. I don't think the singer's hair is real, but it looked good.
- The thing that I noticed about Styx was that Tommy Shaw and Dennis DeYoung seemed to be having this unspoken competition about who could introduce the other band members the most. I think that Tommy Shaw won, because he seemed to talk more, and he used the word 'inimitable.' But Dennis DeYoung had crazy arm twirl things that seemed physically impossible. But Tommy Shaw still had the best hair of anyone there. They said that they could play this rock n' roll music for us all night long. I think we left by 11 which is the earliest that I think I'v ever left any show. But it was AWESOME.
- West Palm Beach is on the East coast of Florida. Both Zach and I wondered aloud why it was named West Palm Beach, without really coming up with a decent answer. Only Steve staunchly defended that we were, in fact, on the West Coast of Florida.
- learned a very important lesson from the rock group Styx and their music. It's true that a lot of people seem to lead pointless lives. And this could be from any number of different reasons. Sometimes, you want to just tell people this, because you want them to know so that they can better themselves. But you can't really tell them, because that will not make people happier or more productive or better at all. You have to make something good. You have to put something good out into the world that will inspire people to better themselves.
- cut a lot out of this lj entry that in hindsight wasn't that interesting. But I really did do a lot more than this, and i am very tired.
