Okay here's my review for the Claremont Morriseey show. If you dont want to read it thats cool. OH yeah, im VERY tired and unstalbe right now so igoren the erros okee?
please note: Moz rocked me. Moz gave an amazing show. The awful-ness of this show had *nothing* to do with him or his performance.
Morrissey-October 26th 1997-Claremont College (NIcky's school).
Pre Show FUN:
La la. im so excited for this show. I have SECOND row seats okay. I was so hyped. i get there at ONE and i order everyone off the roof and we go right over to stake our claim. Eventually a cool girl from Scripts came over and we totally hit it off and she got me all excited..and Thrill (an infamous girl that runs "the more you abhor me") hung out with us..for the longest time. They rocked me. I loved them both. Although thrill had a different perceptive of getting to moz, but whatever. She loved him. She was nice and seemed not to look down on me. i liked her. So la la we wait around 4 hours..talk to steve a little. A lot of the crew talked to us about the new shirts and all ( he added 4 new ones! and a poster. One shirt says i heart moz tee hee). All of a sudden i hear a bus. So i run up as close as i can..and watch this bus drive in. ONLY nicky and i are standint here (everyones on the other side) so if he looked out the window, we were the only ppl there..he saw us :D. HIs bus pulls up (over 10 ft away) and he hops out of the bus into the building.
Getting into the show:
was a pain. we missed the opening act (made the show seem REAL short.) We were in this massive line waiting to go in. They frisked SO thourougly. Girls couldnt bring in lipstick. Tee. There were awesome new shirts (i want the wide to recieve tomorrow!). So nicky and i take our seats and FREAK. We're fucking 2nd row okay? 2nd row. i couldnt believe we were so close. But as we waited i noticed these damn seat hawks that took any empty seat they could and would NOT leave the front area and kept they're eyes on the stage. I knew it was going to be madness. Nicky kept telling me not to worry but i just had this..awful..awful sinking feeling.
Showtime:
i was right. The second the lights went down people just BOLTED and shoved and pushed for the area between the rail and front row. The ppl in the first row's seats were no longer theirs. So i was so excited when he came out i was just like. Whatever, and i stood on my seat and tried to enjoy the boy racer. I was so into that. he was RIGHT THERE. When he came to our side our arms automatically went up without thinking because he just seemed so reachable there. He was so beautiful. Then alma matters started. Thats when it went wrong. A drunk guy climbing seats decided to use my sore ankle as a ladder. He later apologized. Then everyone was standing on the arm rests in front of me. Two girls in particular. I couldnt keep my balance standing on the seats and if i could i kept thinking if they fell back id fall in between my seat and be really hurt. I was so upset. By the thrid song i was sitting in the chair bawling. I was full out bawling. i mean body racking sobbs. i was so upset. when the security would come by (once per song actually) and make everyone get off the chairs, i could sit on the back of mine and i could see him. and i was happy. but as soon as they left they got right back up and i couldnt see. So the first half of the show was me singing to myself with my eyes closed bawling. During Satan Rejected my Song when he sang "so i must find somewhere else to go" i got so upset i bawled more cos it couldnt have been farther from the truth. At one point i threw a little tempter tantrum i was just kicking everything. It was kinda scary. i felt so silly. but i had to get it out. About half way through this guy in front of me kept looking at me and telling me to stand up and have fun. and it really touched me that he took time to care. And nicky kept holding my hand and telling me to get up so i did. And i stood up for as long as i could and i watched him and freaked out and reached out to him as much as i could. i saw him for about 8/9 of each song. But i saw him. and he was so close. But i was rilly dissapointed. anyhow. you get the point.

THE QUEEN IS DEAD (mind you i didnt recognize it)

*random stuff
he talked lots i thought.
before shoplifters he said "i was in this band..and they kicked me out and went on their own.." and i dont remember any more
during alma matters he said "its my life to end my own way" and that disturbed me
he wanked off his mic according to nicky. heh
im blanking.
oh yeah. on tomorrow's review ill tell you about the back drop. but not now. i want david and christ to be surprised. but i loved it. the little i saw it :)
Once i got into it and danced i had a blast. The bad parts were REAL bad, but the good parts were SO GOOD. i was so into speedway
*funny notes
during "now my heart is full" the secuirty wsa there making us go down..but when "but bunny" came up..nicky and i rose up to watch him see it and as soon as he was done we sank back down and i found that rilly funny.
near us (and eventually kicked out) was this hilarious guy that took his shirt off and waved it around all sexy. it was funny.
morrissey is still the sexiest man alive. :)
Oh yeah. the evil girls in front of us (the ONE girl was in my way. if she could have just stood on her SEAT and not the arm i could have fucking seen), well i noticed in the encore that when i screamed she flinched and plugged her ears...i have no voice left
later we ralized they live in nicks dorm. and they gave us dirty looks. hah. bitches.
thats all i can think of for now. this review is all cracky. OH yeah moz said "hola" when he came out and said "i love you i love you i love you" on the way out. tee hee. hes so good.
Tomorrow i have balcony seats..and im glad about that. Im just gonna dance my little ass off and have a blast because i deserve it and its my last show.
sorry this review is so cracky. i have to wake up in 4 1/2 hours to do it all over again. Woo!
