Brief pictorial teaser

I didn’t get too many pics during the show since I’m still learning the fine art of how to do a picture on the iPhone that doesn’t suck–and then how to actually save it in the best possible format. However, I’m pretty happy with this one of my B’ys! As you can see I wasn’t too far back from the stage, with only a small number of fans in front of us.

Well THAT was Great Big Fun

Just got back from the zoo, you guys! Picoreview: delightful as always, especially up in the dancing area surrounded by fellow OKPers and other people ready, willing, and able to bounce like crazy along with our B’ys.

Huge shoutouts to userinfomamishka, userinfosksouth, userinfojennygriffee, userinfojessicac, her spouse Clint whose LJ I still can’t remember, userinfokathrynt, userinfollachglin, userinfotechnoshaman, and userinfoladyallyn coordinating me with and userinfospazzkat and userinfosolarbird to get the disparate parts of our group together!

Also huge shoutouts to userinfosticckler, userinfoseattlesparks, and especially userinfoauntmonkey, who I haven’t seen and jammed with in TOO DAMNED LONG I SAY.

Even saw and greeted several OKPers besides sticckler: shelleyroberts, shoegirl, and loulabelle! And there was a lady whose name I didn’t get who was kind enough to compliment my singing as I was belting out harmony during “Chemical Worker’s Song”! Thank you, kind lady!

But! EXTRA DOUBLE AWESOME SHOUTOUTS back to userinfosksouth for getting me a guitar pick from the hand of The Doyle Himself. She saw it fall and scarfed it, and presented it to me after the show! In return, I bought her a copy of Up, GBS’ third album! THANK YOU SARAH! <3 I shall play only Awesome Songs of Awesomeness with this pick!

Lastly it must be said that Alan is not only still pretty, but userinfosolarbird and I are in strong agreement that in fact, he gets prettier the longer a show continues. By the time he gets to “Ordinary Day”, he is stunningly gorgeous. Trufax! Scientifically proven!

There is of course a longer full show review post coming, but that’ll be tomorrow, after I have my brain back. Watch this space for the fully detailed squee!

Is this plan awesome or what?

July 29, 2010 in GBS | Permalink

Today’s Excellent Plan of Excellence:

  • Go to store
  • Get moneys
  • Purchase tasty things
  • Bring them home and load them up in the cooler
  • Go to zoo with userinfospazzkat and userinfosolarbird
  • Rendezvous at the zoo with userinfokathrynt and the children
  • Look at critters for a couple of hours
  • Join the ZooTunes line at 4pm
  • Commence fangirling, general bouncing, and bursting into random bits of song
  • Enter the show area around 5pm
  • Locate swag table and buy swag, on account of I’ve lost 25 pounds and I need me a new Great Big Sea shirt, by gods
  • When B’ys appear on stage, commence serious fangirling
  • VERTICAL MOVEMENT!

I love this plan! I’m proud to be a part of it!

And now, off to the store to put my plan in motion! ETA: Store accomplished! Soon there will be ZOO!
