listening to:infected mushrooms – cities of the future
warning, this entry might be a little buzzed, as, well, i’m a little buzzed. yay for kindzamaruli and cold moscato wine in the hot summer evenings!
last night i went to the first concert that was entirely kick ass awesome.
infected mushroom definitely know how to throw a party!
it was crazy good. we left uptown around 12 and got downtown just in time to park in a nice, free spot and jet to the short line up for the guest list and run inside. the guy who was dj-ing before infected was tolerable but not exactly very dancing material. good to listen to though.
drinks were expensive. i got 2 bottles of water over the span of the night, for 4 bucks a pop. insanity! but at the moment when i was buying water 4 dollars for a bottle seemed like a bargain, as it was steaming hot there.
people ranged from all types, faces and clothing styles – goth to raver. the biggest prominence was given to israeli fans, who carried a huge israeli flag and danced their heads and legs off in front of the stage. our group stuck essentially next to the stage the whole night, and the dj was kickassingly excellently leading the crowd.
the songs had a lot of build up and a lot of explosions of drums and piano and voice and electric guitar (which was live, right there!) which just made you feel like you’re flying, with the crowd. the number of moments when the crowd would just explode at the wave of the guy’s hand cannot be counted – his connection with the crowd was mindblowingly good, quite in tune and knowing how to build up enough to make you want jump and yell and dance when the release finally came in forms of drums that you could feel revibrating throughout your whole being.
we left around 5am, dropped off most people and then had some early morning, predawn tea and snacks, and then went off home to go sleep.
we’ll see how i can handle waking up at 6am tomorrow given how i fell asleep by 6am yesterday!
and then l.a., where i’ll have to shift my schedule again by 12 hours.
FUNcrazygood.
also, didn’t buy perfume today as the store didn’t have it.
maybe i’ll gather the guts to order a good laptop sleeve tomorrow.
my current good&expensive choices:
$68.00
40/50$
what do you guys (who apparently buy only things of the best quality ;p) think?
