Showed up at about 3:30 and got a good spot for the Gogol Bordello show. You have to show up about an hour early for any show if you want to be close.
Watched Mates of State and then David Byrne again. Watching David Byrne was much better at ACL than at the Paramount. The sound was better and I could actually see the stage. Then went to see the Swell Season, which wasn't nearly as good as they were at Coachella. Then went to eat a burger and then watched the debate.

Once in a Lifetime
"Dip your balls in it."
That's one of the nonsensical outbursts I heard last night at the David Byrne show. Who knew David Byrne had so many "that guy" fans.
I had tickets in the balconey and things were going great for about half the concert. Byrne was playing a lot of his newer stuff and the people were behaving themselves. Then, about 10 songs in, Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro come and sit right in front of me. Napoleon was moving his fro from side to side obstructing my view every other beat. Napolean was taking photographs every five seconds even though it was posted "No Photographs" when you walk into the theater.
Some jackasses got up to dance, so Napoleon got up to dance and completely obstructed my view. The guy danced like a complete retard. I turned to Johnny and said, "I didn't pay nothing to come here and look at Napoleon's ass and watch him dance like a retard."
Then Byrne practically made the audience beg for him to keep playing. I think they did something like 5 encores.
Oh well, I'm heading to ACL.

Adding some touches pt.7
I've added some touches to my painting. As you can see, I've done quite a bit of work on the leg and feet. I've added more definition to the shoulder blades. I've darkened the hair a little bit and smoothed out some edges.
To compare, check out the last post about this painting here.

A-List: Tokyo Police Club

Toadies
Saw the Toadies last Wednesday. Got to set up in the VIP section and had two free beers. It's so strange that these guys are still living off the fame of a 15-year-old album. Although, I must admit "Possum Kingdom" and "Tyler" are some of the best songs ever written. This photo was taken during "Tyler" because it was the only time when the lights were bright enough.

I turn 27
So yesterday was my birthday. I had a little shindig at Creekside Lounge. About 20 people showed up altogether. Allison made me this spiffy little crown to let everyone know it was my birthday. Which led many others at the bar to tell me it was their birthday as well.
