jenepherreSo, 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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.

Date: Friday, April 18th, 2008 01:35 am (UTC)I bought a new camera specifically with this concert in mind. I love it. It's a Canon Powershot A720 IS. Less than $200 at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. It also does 640x480 video clips - any length of clip you want as long as your memory card has space. And I found a 16 GB memory card for about $70 at NewEgg.com. Too bad I didn't end up taking advantage of it. Yet. But I'm really impressed with this camera.
So you pics that you'll be going through and maybe posting? Which show were you at?

Yeah, I had a photo pass so I'll def be posting them. Hopefully this weekend.
Does your camera have manual settings?
Were you barricade? I'm just impressed at how people are getting decent pictures with point and shoots from the pit because usually they look so crappy being all washed out or blurry or too dark, ya know?
Oh and for the record, Eric kept tossing his hacky sack at me and it hit me a couple times. hahaha
