It'd going on 2 AM, and I just got back from a David Bowie show... I screamed myself hoarse, hopped around on one foot, bought the $45 Ziggy Stardust tank top, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I almost fainted like the schoolgirl I am when he gave a little talk about the Pixies' reunion and followed it up with 'Cactus'... it was a very long, very intense, utterly charming set that was very well recieved.
AAAAND...
To preface this, I've had a crush on this man for literally as long as I can remember thanks to the movie Labyrinth, hence my giddiness at seeing him from 15 rows away... so, during one fairly mediocre song wherein very few people were still standing, I did the quasi-ironic reach toward him, and he looked me right in the eyes and reached back.
Ergo, I will die happy.
If he comes to your town, for the love of god, see him.

I've only seen him once, back in 1995 when he was touring with Nine Inch Nails. It was a good show - the show opened with just NIN and the band, and then one by one replaced Trent's band with Bowie's and they played a bunch of each other's songs together before NIN finally left the stage.
Bowie was promoting his criminally underappreciated "Outside" album at the time.
-
Oh man, I totally dug the bootlegs of the Bowie/NIN gig that I found. Wouldn't have minded at all seeing that, but I saw NIN in 94 before they tried it.
Ah well.
-
Once again I weep for my college's tragic issues with getting decent concerts. Maybe our spring thing will be worth going to.
DAMMIT, BANDS I LIKE, START TOURING AGAIN. THIS MEANS YOU, FRUVOUS.

Wow, too bad your proximity to Ottawa isn't the same as mine- I go to the folk festival there most years, and they have been there like every single time I've been. They are practically a plague upon Southern Ontario.

Really? Dang. Maybe I'll have to road trip or something, because I've been sitting here in Massachusetts, and it's getting sort of ridiculous.

My bestfriend is posing as a photographer while his boyfriend interviews David Bowie for his magazine, and also they're backstage for the whole show. For Free.
My Friend said "but it'll be hard to see the show from backstage" - not because he serious, but because he's an evil, sarcastic bastard, and he likes making me mad.

Oh! that is truly the limit. (http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=10092001)

God, I'm actually so insanely pumped about going to (gulp) Bonnaroo, and here's why: David Byrne, Willie Nelson, Wilco, Ween, Yo La Tengo, Femi Kuti, Doc Watson, Beth Orton, My Morning Jacket, Gillian Welch, Sam Bush Band, Taj Mahal, Grandaddy, Neko Case and Mike Doughty (thanks, Jough!)!
But I have yet to see Bowie. He will be mine. OH YES, HE WILL.
P.S. Awesome work moment of the day: around hour 6 of my 9 hour, no breaks work day, one of the other workers grabbed my arm and pointed to this one dude we were serving and said, "Dude, there's one of your MMJ boys."
It was one of the members of My Morning Jacket, I think the guitarist who ISN'T Jim James.
God, I love working in the hippest place in Louisville.

It's probably one of the two guys who just quit the band.

Wait, no, I'm an idiot. It was Jim James; he's actually good friends with a couple of the people who work there.
The awesome work moment of today was finding out that my boss' 13-year old daughter has a crush on me. Oh, wait, not awesome, HORRIBLY AWKWARD. I know, somehow, I'm gonna get fired because of this.
