i had a great time last night. sick show all around. what a wonderful homecoming event!!! it was so nice to see everyone that i\'ve missed in the last month since the band left... Welcome To This World^^, Honey Butter, I Feel Free% > LDZ was fucking awesome-the cream cover was the best out of all of them in my opinion. definitely have to agree with abby on the broseph reference. always nice to hear a rufus. this wasn\'t the best show that i have seen, but it\'s up there. the band was on top of their shit (as usual) and sounded spectacular.
i think that if the issue with the "official theme" had been resolved (had been officially announced and promoted) things would have gone differently. there weren\'t enough people who knew what the theme was and it showed--not that i am one to talk because i went as wonder woman and also went as dorothy to last year\'s star wars theme.
not sure what the official head count was last night, but i am guessing somewhere around 250-300..? i could be very off. spacey + co. who did the promotion did a wonderful job. i still think that the management needed to have stepped it up and pushed things further. i haven\'t spent much time in new haven since the band went on tour, but have heard that there has been little to no promotion aside from what some die hard fans have been able to accomplish.
anyhoo, there weren\'t as many people in costume as i had hoped, but there were a few to be mentioned. the "chick magnet" could possibly be the funniest and one of the most annoying costumes of all if you were able to see walsh demonstrate how it works. britney spears and kevin federline, gavin as esteban, derickw as jesus, esther as banana. davepeck-i don\'t even know what to say about your costume. better luck next year :lol: whoever the guy with long brown hair dressed as a girl was, please take a fucking shower and try not to punch people when you dance! girl who\'s costume that i can only describe as "starving for attention/posterchild for diseases" please get tested. guy in chicken mask-don\'t try to talk to girls, you are gross. one thing i hope that men can learn from this event is that you are not invincible with a mask on, so don\'t try to be.
thanks todd + robyn for the hospitality! esther and melissa, i enjoyed sleeping with you last night.
