i'm a pixel here, myself

So yes, I am as surprised as you all: I ended up at the Warfield tonight. Basically, the story goes like this -- work blows all week, I see lovelypoet make a post today about last night's HCT show and in the comments she mentions Jon Walker in a pearl necklace. This makes me go "bzuh?!" and in comments back and forth it comes out that she has another ticket for tonight, with clumsygyrl up in the balcony. As Friday continues to suck at work, I agree to go. Duck out of work at 4pm, stop at home for earplugs and water and cash, then make my way to the city. Somewhere in there is the realization that HCT is not *just* Panic, but also the Hushies, which makes my *GLEE* rise about a million percent.

Text thelionforreal to ask if she wants concert calls. She texts back something to the effect of "I thought you hated Panic?" Run into bexone seated about 10 seats down from me. She posts [this]. Apparently writing [this] as a review now counts as "hating" a band. I will admit that I am not the world's biggest fan of AFYCSO as an album, but I *liked* Pretty. Odd., people. It's just an inconsistent album. And they played most of the songs I like on the album, and only played a couple of what I thought were the weaker ones, so maybe they share my assessment? Or maybe they're saving up material for another tour after this one; who knows? Also at the show: schuyler and lovelypoet, who I hadn't seen in FOREVER, as well as lesasoja and Cristen, whose LJ name I do not know, but who is awesome and took orgasm-face pictures of Jon Walker. \o/

ANYWAY. The show. Um. It's a good show! ( spoilers! )

OH! Also, one other thing from last night's concert.

( Jon Walker, I love youuuuuu! )
