Just some dolls we got used to
The new high-tech Nokia Theatre in LA? Sucks. At least for a Tori show. It's so huge and just feels cold, sterile and soulless. I think it sucked the life out of me when I first got there to try and tell Tori something when she was out meeting people. When I didn't get to, I just felt a rush of bad and suddenly I was just alone crying on a street in downtown LA. I think the lack of sleep and intensity of the previous show had caught up with me. I went home to try and wash it off and to change into something more comfy for the show, because running in my boots several blocks to take the subway to get to Tori was not the best of all ideas I've had.
I had horrible seats (even farther than I expected, which I don't mind in one of those comfier, older venues) and the girl next to me didn't like my high-pitched screaming for Isabel so I couldn't get excited for the rest of the show. When you can't get excited for Pip something is wrong and she seems all torn up and sad. And then Tori's set was very standard, kind of generic compared to my other shows. The whole thing was built up to have these huge surprises. She didn't even do the songs that were originally on the setlist, Gold Dust and Digital Ghost, no improvs either. I think that's kind of telling on the level of intimacy she felt with the audience.
Maybe Tori had planned on going out with a bang, but decided not to give her best to, as Pip would say, "a corporate cock sucking" place. She said it was the 48th show, so I guess the 47th was the true "going out with a bang" show, which I was lucky enough to be a part of. And of course, anything is going to be disappointing after that.
I hope that girl gets some rest.
