My pics from the Honda Civic Tour 4-10-08

So, the post-concert (and post-missing the meet & greet) blues are easing up a bit, and I decided to post my pictures. I kinda stopped looking at all the pics other people are posting, but I still suspect these are pretty typical. I did go through and remove most of the blurry ones, but there are still a few that I thought were worth posting despite not being perfectly in focus. There are a few pics of Phantom Planet, The Hush Sound and Motion City Soundtrack as well, but it's mostly Panic At The Disco. And although I really made an effort to get pics of all the Panic guys, the majority of them are of Brendon. You just can't take your eyes off that boy. He's got some unexplainable magnetic thing going on. Seriously.

I looked through the few video clips I did that night again, and I won't be posting any of those. They're all short little clips - no full songs at all - and none are all that great. Maybe I'll do better at the DC show. Although it's not that my camera wasn't capable of it - it's that my arms weren't. Ugh.

I sort of have little stories to tell about the show last Thursday, but... I don't feel like typing them all out. So let me just say that Eric Ronick is awesome - and TALL. And Shane Valdés (or Valdez, take your pick) is so much hotter in person. No picture I've seen of him does him justice. And he's super nice. And no - I did not ask him about being roomies with Brendon or whether or not that shower pic really is of him and Brendon or anything. Which may have been part of the reason he was so nice and so willing to talk about everything from "The Making of Pretty. Odd." DVD (which he edited in only 3 days) to the fact that he's doing the whole tour with the band (lucky bastard).

Hopefully I'll get another chance to talk to Shane and actually get Eric's autograph on my Black Gold CD and get another chance at a meet & greet with Panic - the latter being something I'm currently fighting with Artist Arena about.

Oh! You can find my scans of the tour booklet here.

So, I'm off to the Washington DC area on Saturday, and will be out there until May 24th. For those who might be wondering, my brother and his family live near DC and I made plans some time ago to go visit them this summer. They just had a new baby about a month ago, and I can't wait to see the little guy. It just worked out well that Panic is doing their DC show while I'm out there. I'm also meeting llvoncan in NYC to see the closing night show of "Antony & Cleopatra" with Randy Harrison. And we're staying really close to the Angels & Kings bar, so I'm hoping to stop by there for a drink and a photo or something (celiarosalind - want to come with me?)... but I'll only be in NYC for about 30 hours, so we'll see. If any of my other east coast friends want to try and meet up while I'm out there, let me know.

Guess that's it for now.

Whoa... thanks for the links! Motherlode.

Technically it was 4 times, because I actually walked away from him during the concert and then found him again. I had a good reason for walking away though - I was trying to get pics of Spencer on stage and you totally couldn't see him from the left side of the theater.

More Shane icons... YESSSS! Now... where can I find some good Spencer ones? Because Spencer = LOVE. He is Switzerland in this band. Am I right? I love him for that.

Oh! Random questions that I could probably find a more appropriate place to ask, but who cares since this is my journal. Ha. First - the other guy in those pics from the Pearl opening? Has anyone figured out who he is? Second - Shane's tattoo... Realm, maybe? I don't know.

Ha,yeah. I love Spencer pics, that is totally reason to leave Shane for a bit! I had trouble from directly in front of him when I saw them, and he was closer than the HCT set up.

I fail with Spencer icons my laptop tells me I've made one of his hands, my M&G pic and my 2 Spencer/Brendon ones, but they're coming after Shane I've got a fair sized icon dump then on to Spence. You could cruisefueledbygraphix for them. Spencer is totally Switzerland, I love him lots.

I believe other guy is one of Ryan's friends, he seems to have lots of random friends,shiola_shiola's Shane primer says Joseph, so maybe.
I've been trying to figure Shane's tattoo out all day, I thought it said Realm (or possibly Regan that would be too cute) but in this pic it looks like REH-something.
