Don't be fooled by this entry's subject: last night I went to the Princess Superstar show at the Middle East downstairs. There were two opening bands, neither of which I saw because Jorn thought they would suck and so we hung out at Dann's until 10:45pm. Well, Jorn hung out, and I took a nap on Dann's bed. Anyway, Princess S went on pretty much on time, which was awesome (I'm not used to going to a show with Jorn and not having to stand around for three hours to see the band). I wasn't sure what I would think of her, but I thought she was great. She's way hottt, and put on a great show with costume changes and everything. She's promoting her new album, which is an insane concept album based on the idea that her dopplegangers from the future had come back in time to trash talk her. Or something. Anyway, that's why she's performing in front of a huge screen, which you'll see in the pictures below.
The only problem with this show was the crowd, which was really weird. There was the "crazy dancing fangirl" side of the room, and the "crazy drunk asshole" side of the room. Guess where we ended up standing? Really tall drunk guys kept elbowing their way to the front of the crowd, leaving to go get a beer and then elbowing their way back to the front of the crowd again. And I'm sorry, but it's bad enough to be tall and stand right in the front, but when you're also drunk, pushy, going back and forth, and dancing by waving your arms all over the place, it just makes me want to KEEL YOU.
( Read more--there's pictures behind the cut too. )
Anyway, besides the craziness, I really enjoyed this show. She played "Bad Babysitter" and a few other songs I was familiar with, and she totally rocked. I'm also really glad I brought my camera--in addition to getting good pictures, it gave me something to think about besides how long I'd been standing there and how tired I was, which is what usually happens when I go to a show. I want to try to remember to bring it to any future shows I go to.
PS. The crazy dancing fangirls climbed up on stage as soon as Princess S left so they could steal her pompoms. OMG!
