Pics and video of Kris in Orlando
I went to Kris' show at The Social in Orlando on Friday. I was close (and The Social is TINY) so I have a lot of good pics and some video. I met Kris, Cale, Andrew, Torres and Chris Nathan after the show, so there's that too. I sort of accidentally Inception'd Cale with a merch idea. ET and half-Kris even made an appearance. \o/
There's even some Krale and some... do Andrew and Torres have a pairing name? Whatever it is, there's some of that. I also took video of the Krizzle duet, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and Kris doing some hip-rolling dance thing about four feet in front of me. UNF.
Preview (Warning: sound isn't great on this one, but it sure is pretty):
Kris' setlist. Which died a terrible death during the first song when the tape got stuck to his shoe.
HI KRIS.
Hi Cale.
Why, HELLO KRALE.
Okay, back to Kris.
This pic came out kind of... accidentally pornographic?
DINO JAWWWWW.
HI ANDREW.
Is there even a name for this?
I met Kris. He had a playful little argument with Lizzie about how he wasn't allowed to come out and sign things at my Idol show in Tampa. It was adorable on both sides.
I met Andrew and Torres. They were awesome.
I met Chris Nathan. He is ridiculously charming and I kind of love him a lot.
We were waiting for Cale when suddenly ET popped up in the bus window (where half-Kris and a little monkey were already was hanging out). Cale was surprised too.
'Sup, homies?
I met Cale and accidentally sort of Inception'd him with a really awesome merch idea. First, picture, then story.
While Cale was signing my ticket I mentioned that I'd seen them at Red Rocks in Denver a month ago. He seemed happy-surprised and said, "Oh yeah? That's a long way from here." I told them that my sister lives there and also that as soon as I heard they were touring with Barenaked Ladies, I couldn't pass that up. Cale told me the BNL guys were great and they had a good time on that tour. Then I remembered the necklace I always wear and showed/explained it to him.
It's a coil of used Barenaked Ladies guitar string on a cord. A few years back, when BNL was really getting into their thing with trying to be Carbon Neutral on tour and reuse/re-purpose things, they gave all their used guitar string to this woman who made really cool jewelry out of it. I couldn't possibly have ordered that necklace faster. It's the only piece of jewelry I've worn not on a special occasion for years and I love it SO MUCH.
Close up for reference:
He stared at my neck the entire time I was talking. And then he was quiet for a minute before saying, "That's really cool." Then he was quiet again, and still staring. "I may have to steal that idea."
On the inside was was very LSKHGKLSHGDSDGKJSD, but on the outside I said, like a totally normal person, "You should! That would be awesome."
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. If the Kris Allen Band puts out any used guitar string jewelry you have me to thank. \o/
Also, Cale said he liked my shirt, which means he gets my sense of humor, which means I love him EVEN MORE. :D
Okay, videos. I also took video of Kris and Chris Nathan's duet of Don't Look Back in Anger. The sound is not the greatest since I was a little too close for my camera, but it's not awful and the visual sure makes up for it. KRIS KNEELING ON THE STAAAAAGE.
And Everybody Wants to Rule the World got cut into two parts by mistake, but here you go. Part 1:
Part 2:
My full recap post with all of the rest of my pics and the full story of meeting everyone: http://likealocket.livejournal.com/370143.html.
A final thought to leave you guys with: The Social has a photo booth in the dressing room and bands are encouraged to use it. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES.
