10/30 D'espairsRay concert NYC & 0/29 Haloween Party
Before I begin...
This comp is acting up... so I will say this...
THAT WAS THE BEST CONCERT EVER!
I will talk about the concert here.. not work or anything before the concert.. too much to type.
I have to start by saying..the announcer guy was asking this one Japanese chick with a rainbow colored wig *she's been to all the East Coast shows apparently* how she liked the NYC crowd and she was all.. ??? Maybe she didn't understand.. but whatever. He went on to say how he likes the band and blah blah. How they NYC crowd had alot of energy.. then he left.
Tsukasa came on stage and checked his drums. People went wild. Then he left.... the stage went black and Hizumi came on with a mask on.. followed by the others.
*skip some stuff.. all good but you've read it all already*
During one song, I think it may have been "yami ni furu kiseki" or something... as I stood on one of the lower steps of the platform.. but still being taller than most due to my boots.. Hizumi stretched out his hand... I did the same.. and no one else did. He looked right at me and smile/smirked. That was pretty cool too. Then he continued singing. So, that little exchange will be on the dvd I hope.
The freakitest yet funniest thing was when Hizumi(v.) was being hand-raped/molested by all the people in the front row... it was fuckin crazy looking and he was enjoying it a whole lot.. all those hands on him really did look fuckin crazy though...but coolat the same time. He kept looking at us in the front-ish area. I got a couple of looks/feels myself, but sadly none from Zero(b). He was too far away. At one point they spat water at us and we all cooled off.. Zero spat also and it drenched my face A WHOLE LOT... and got into my eye.. which hurt since my sweat got in there too.
Then they left.. the crowd went wild asking for more.. then it ebbed and rose again with roars and this one lil chick howl/growling. Chants of D'espairsRay echoed, and man.. the energy was great. Then they came back and it went fucking mad in there! Having been on the platform for the whole thing.. I let this first short chick with long black hair in a corset and such stand up so she could see (I kept holding on to her hip so I wouldn't get thrown off the platform and so she wouldn't either. The fans behind me and next to me went fuckin bananas. I'm like.. chill. I don't want to break my NECK! I would have let them up eventually.. but people like to be stupid. o_o;;;) then during the encore.. I brought up another short girl with long blonde hair (she reminded me of the short chick from Honey&Clover. Too cute!) What did suck however was the second row of platform occupants ALL decided to stand and blocked not only our view...but the people behind us as well.
They did an encore of about 3 songs that I don't feel like listing again. When Hizumi finished, he was again being hand-raped by all of them... funny shit man. he was all looking like 'yeahhhhhhhhhh. I'm enjoying this but I'm too tired to fight them off if they try and eat me alive'. I pushed the lil blonde girl up so she could touch his hand too. She did and I was happy. XD
Then they sprayed us with water and threw their water bottles again, let people touch them, and other items(guitar/bass pics and drumsticks) before leaving.
They looked like they had alot of fun, I know the crowd did.. aside from the assholish teenagers.
That is why all ages shows are a edouble edged sword: on one hand, yay everyone can see them perform but the down side to that woud be rude/immature people who most of the time happen to be young... fuck it up for alot of people. There were some old people actign the fool too. I had some friend ssittign right infront of Hizumi and they were CRUSHED. Fans cussin the other bands telling one perfomrer who was a really happy fello.. "OMG GET OFF THE STAGE. YOU SUCK! BRING OUT D'ESPAIRS RAY. NO MORE SONGS! NOOOOOOOOO!"
Really... REALLY DISRESPECTFUL! I've never been to a show where people acted like that.. and I've been to several all ages shows. It made me mad and embarassed. I hope people learn some eticate, that's all I'm saying.
There are some pros and cons I had listed before the comp fuckedup... but I don't feel like typing it out now.
However, they should have had them play one of the three venuses: Bowery Ballroom, Hammerstien Ballroom OR Webster Hall. Those venuse have more than enough room to host people. Don mills was a little to small. And logically, they should have cleared the room or something... just to make things fair.

After work I went straight home to finish my chores.. but wound up cooking. I then proceeded to call Lan to tell her to pick me up for the party. She arrives and I let her know that my dad was leaving and thus, Ethon and Joel would be home alone and I had to get home by 11pmish. We then head off to her house anticipating the events due to happen that night. Her mom had a costume party of her own to attend so she was dressed up liek a gypsy ro hippie..b ut ti looked really nice. We then got to it. I helped Viv and Lan with their makeup and I curled my hair, applied large amounts of glitter to my skin and donned the showgirl costume. We stop at 7/11 to get some batteries and then we were on our way to Lan's friend Rachel's house. Seriously, I was the life of the party. I t wasd like 99.9% Jewish people there. The mom had a lil NYC jew accent as did tghe aunt and grandmother. <3 TOO CUTE! #1 I was the only black chick there. #2 I was the only chick half naked in an elaborate costume. #3 I was a combination of #1 and #2. I was enjoying myself alot though. They had alot of food which is always good. The grandmother was so yenta it wasn't even funny... but I liked her all the same. We stayed for a while and even played games... like LCR and story continuation which were fun.
This comp is acting up... so I will say this...
