(no subject)
Last night suraimu and I drove down to Louisville to see Evanescence perform in concert.
I was a hottie ^_^
Finger Eleven and Chevelle were the opening acts. I'd never heard of those bands by name, but I ended up recognizing two of the songs that Chevelle played. They were both all right. I was impatient for EVANESCENCE!
I managed to sneak my camera into the hall, even though they were confiscating cameras right and left. And now I present to you
Penny's Guide to Sneaking Cameras Into Places That Don't Allow Cameras
Disclaimer: This is what has always worked for me. Don't blame me if it doesn't work for you and you get your camera taken.
Tip 1: This really only applies if you're female and carrying the camera in your purse. Be sure to bring a few tampons or pads with you, even if you don't need them. Put them right on the top of the stuff in your purse. If there's a male guard and a female guard searching purses, choose the male guard.
Tip 2: Choose your guard carefully. There's always one doing the job well and one that doesn't give a shit. Be sure to choose the one who's not searching too carefully.
Tip 3: Camera? What camera? Be sure to walk right up to the guard, open your purse wide, and practically shove the contents in their face. Brazen-ness is key here. The more you act like "There is totally no camera in here, wanna see?" the more they don't even bother to glance inside.
So, anyway, I got my camera inside ^_^
OMG AMY LEE IS PROBABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON ON THE PLANET. I'm sorry, she just is. She was fantastic, what I could see of her. There were a lot of tall people in front of me at first. She ROCKED. IT. OUT.
Sweet Sacrifice

Bring Me to Life
Whisper
Open Door
Lacrymosa
Encore:
My Immortal
Your Star
I took videos of "Lithium," "Tourniquet," and "My Immortal" but the audio was too terrible on the first too. Which is a DAMNED SHAME because the video quality is beautiful on "Tourniquet."
So you just get "My Immortal":
Overall it was a great show, but way too short. Worst part of the evening: Louisville concert-goers are assholes. Best part (besides the show): free downtown parking.
Rob drove home because I had to work on homework and sleep. He likes to drive
We got home around 1:30am, I showered (smoking in public venues is alive and well in Kentucky) and I was in bed by 2am. So I got 4 hours of sleep. I am DED TIRED. But happy.
