it's very late.
Ok.....March ...nearly a month ago, I saw the Vines at West Hollywood in the Troubadour. Lovely lovely....when they came to play.
I do have a few more pictures, but they're total crap, since I, being a short little Chinese girl surrounded by 6ft...Caucasian guys...one with a damn afro...it was rather difficult for me to take the pictures.
The first hour was standing there...waiting for the opening band. Some a holes behind me started nudging me forward ( I was about in the 4th row from the front), eventually pulling a bit of my hair, I got pissed, and some people next to me were doing pda...too much pda when you're so close to total strangers. So...I walked away from that area (later Hamish, the drummer would throw his drumsticks at that area, AND Craig (frontman) sprayed water to that area as well). Those motherf-----. Their conversation represented the assholery....douchebagery of some "hardcore" fans. They began criticizing the audience on the venue, saying everyone came with their girlfriends and these same people would obviously speak like this: "like...omg I can't believe I'm watch the streaks? no the fags....wait....no that's me" and how these stupid people would post the pics on myspace after the show. they also spoke of taking drugs....seeing The Vines again...it was so boring there....I put most of my attention to their conversation, since those assholes were so close to me anyway, I'm sure they probably even wanted me to hear it, thinking I was one of those lame people. Of course, I could be just...paranoid about that. But, they were the same assholes who started a mini mosh pit, I joined in for a few minutes...and fell, not hard, but that's ok, I can now say...yes...I've been in a mosh pit. Not many of the other girls joined in...they were all in the front, looking at Craiggy. When he started to reach for their hands, they all started yelling his name, and he smiled and looked at Ryan (you know...like...."man, the ladies love me..."). What a cheeky monkey. In response, I thought the best way to make someone else from The Vines feel "loved" is to to yell their name as well, and I did so to Ryan. I just yelled his name...hopefully he heard, so he wouldn't feel so sad that no girlies like him. :( I like that Brad and Ryan both wore hats. They were almost like twins, wear a coat and a hat, with the same hairstyle. Funny. And each were on the opposite side of the stage.
ANYWAY, the opening act....I cannot remember their name, but they did sound a bit like The Vines. If I ever find that ticket, I might just say who they are. Sorry. The end of "Spaceship" by The Vines is a rough summary of that opening band's music.
They played half new songs...Autumn Shade 3!....and the other half their singles plus ms.jackson and fuk yeh...and going gone (the opener). Their concerts are much better, Craig still ruins the drum set and guitar, but that's ok. He sings now! Instead of screaming...he's singing clearly.
I loved it. My brother wanted to leave right after the concert though...so I couldn't get an autograph or a picture, but that's ok. Next time...hopefully.
I tells ya, Craig is still young. Talking about how radio and tv is shit, trying to you know....change the world with his words...getting the audience to say kill the president...oh...teenage angst. Oh and he only smoked a little.
So....Spring break is almost over...literally hours now. Hfm.
I did manage to do some art thank god, for the art show......another one....on the 10th. The day AFTER my birthday.
I believe these are it. I'm still not done with the ballet girl by vega, and I won't finished it anytime soon. I've discovered I'm very harsh on the clothes part of her...it will take me a while to make it look like CLOTH than jagged metal.
The first one was first a badly drawn sketch of this here:
I did the sketch late at night...so my perspective on anything was a bit off. So today, I just went over my pencil scribbles with permanent marker scribbles. Makes it look "fancier". He just looks like a possible chick and is pissed now.

The next one is that technique with the lines that can make an object, but I just did a head instead of some fruit.
The 3rd one 1st row is from this.
then I added a hoof and a rose on that hoof. then eyes that were oozing some sort of icky pus-like liquid. This most definitely took me some meticulous attention to do.
The watercolor one is that of a totoro clock I have. I just made him fluffier and farting. The fart was so powerful, it pushed him into the air. Totoro is one of my favorite childhood memories. I have a bootleg of that show...movie...whatever it was from China town. I remember loving it. I should watch it again.
The 1st on the 2nd row^. Yup, pee and poo dolls from...Japan I believe. so creepy. waste as a cuddle toy. mmm hm!
The last one is ink....inspired by dave from blur, the drummer. I was practicing drawing w/o using an actual image...so I thought better to use a face I've seen...but not studied close enough to remember everything on their face. So I used Dave. Also, he has some sort of dumpyness...it sucks you barely see him in those early blur music videos. He wore glasses as get got older, mind you, that's why I have them there. It's not intended to look like him....it'd be nice if it did though.
Oh...I'm ALMOST obsessed with Supergrass now. It's just starting. Gaz....looks like a monkey...yes but a smile that could kill thousands.
