Robyn was fucking amazing.
It was seriously awesome.
Instead of an opening band, there was a DJ. Which is a really good idea. I'm tired of mediocore bands that are mildly interesting that end up giving me nothing but sore feet and back pain. This DJ was awesome. He even played Daft Punk, which I think is the number one rule of being a DJ: no matter how much you suck, if you play "one more time", you will redeem yourself. No matter how bad shit gets, if you play "one more time", people will dance.
I realized two things very soon:
1) there were a lot of gay men
2) gay men are tall
I could not see shit these gay men were so tall. It was a harsh reality I came to know all too fast: either dance and give up on my chance to actually see Robyn, or stand stil at an awkward angle on my tippy toes and take in her full Swedish glory. I switched it up.
I think if I'd worn the Hawaiian shirt I wore to school today I could've gotten a few drinks.
Robyn kicked ass. She has a real great pressence. It was pretty awesome, right before "Konitchiwa Bitches" she did a melody of songs, including "Sexual Eruption", "Push It", and kinda like "You Really GOt Me" but not really. She had two drummers and a keyboard player, and it rocked. They really added a lot to the show, lotta power I guess you could say. She's awesome. Did two versions of "Be Mine", the second for the second encore, just with piano. It was very beautiful, but the crowd was kind of obnoxious whenever she would sing ballads like "Eclipse". Also, covered Prince's "Jack U Off" for the first encore! It ruled.
I bet Ive said awesome 8 times. It's a little too late to think of synonyms.
The best thing about the night was the chance to test out some new dance moves, what with the Senior Ball approaching. Let's just say, I have a few in up my sleaves.
