Last night, I went with Notorious ALG and Unusual Suspect to a concert. We were yelled at by three parking attendents on three seperate occasions, yelled at by the bouncer outside and the bouncer inside, and were felt up by a security guard. (We enjoyed that though.) We semi-appreciated the John Mayer-wannabe opening act, and were blown away by the out-of-control beatboxing by the next act. But then the beatboxer started singing some beatbox/metal/emo songs and lost us. Plus, his name was Kid Beyond, I kid (beyond) you not, so we clearly couldn't take him seriously after that.Finally, the lady we were there to see came on: Imogen Heap. All I knew of this lady was that she sang the electronica-sounding song at the end of the season of the OC when Marissa killed Ryan's bro. Well, in real life, her other songs were... interesting. Some wailing, some electonics were involved. And then... halfway through the $33 concert, ALG turns to me and said "Are you ASLEEP!?" She turns to Unusual Suspect: "Are you asleep TOO?" Alas, we were. We passed out sitting straight up in the midst of electronica and wailing. We dragged our old bones out of there before we even got to hear the OC song.
Imogen Heap? OK, if you like that sort of thing. Falling asleep like an old lady at the ripe old age of 26? So unpretty.

2. At Radio City Music Hall, for the Christmas Spectacular
3. At Temple University and LaSalle University, any time the lights were out for slides or a powerpoint.
