Robyn ‘Shows Me Love’
Last night my friend Tony dragged me out of the house kicking and screaming to catch the Robyn show at Spaceland in Silver Lake last night. Robyn is touring as part of the Club NME tour (that is sending acts all around the world) and performed a short set of songs … acoustically. By that I mean, just her and a tinny and horrible sounding keyboard. Tony and I met up with a bunch of his friends, including Art and Mark and we were joined by Darion and Josh who also came out for the show. All in all we had a fun time last night … here are a few pics of Robyn on stage doing her thang:
I must confess I’m not the biggest Robyn fan in the world but I kinda dig her new album’s electopop sound. Unfortch, we got none of that electropop sound last night since, as I mentioned, Robyn performed with just dude on keyboards. The keyboard didn’t sound all that great and the guy’s backing vocals were worse. Because of this, the show wasn’t the best one that I’ve ever been to but I will say that Robyn has a great voice and she managed to keep the show from being a total loss. She belted out her songs, much slower than normal, giving her fans a different take on her music. I wasn’t wowed but it wasn’t so terrible.
Here are a few pics of my friends and me last night … you will note in the first pic, Darion is putting the moves on a guy in the crowd …
… unfortch for D, the dude already has a boyfriend. Ah well. Darion did have better luck later on in the night. We spied Amanda Bynes in the crowd …
… and he managed to get a photo with her (she also complimented him on his “beautiful eyes”). In the end, I’m really glad that Tony coaxed me into going out … as always, he is really fun to hang out with and I had a nice night out with my friends.
Not sure what’s on tap for today … I am still on the hunt for a Halloween costume … ideas?

Crazy Britney is SO last year! Go as Richard Simmons! Oooor what I was trying to convince my son to dress up as..Terry from Reno 911! A white trash prego lady? A man dressing up as a woman is always a good one..

Mebbe Robyn will let you borrow her tights she wore last night for a jester costume? I kid, I kid. Go out and find yourelf an ‘energy dome’ and a yellow outfit and go as a member of DEVO?

October 23rd, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Wow! Devo!

Did you just make Darion bust out an official Wendy William’s “How YOU doin?” LOLOL
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I know… grab a crimping iron, a bedazzled eye-patch & a purple kimono and go trick or treating as the inimitable Pete Burns!
For reference, here’s a still pic:

Hey Trent, now that your hair is platinum, you should go as punk rocker Pink, you look like her now! (And of course, the obvious reference to your blog.)

Elle — LOL! I was actually going for a Joey from ‘Friends’ “How you doin’?” but I think the Wendy Williams version works too ;)

I think even though it will prob be the most overplayed costume of the year but you should go as the Heath Ledger version of the Joker. That would be awesome considering that movie has to be one of your favorite ones of the year and you also thought he did an amazing job in that role.

Love Darion’s eyes and Robyn’s tights.
As for a Halloween costume… I don’t know about you, but I know where I’m getting mine this year… I think I’ll be a frog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4rUiV_Hh74

Don’t listen to treant…you are NOT embarrassing our people. Believe me, until you start to wear eyeliner as lipliner, then you are still the best, señor!
As far as costumes….how about Spike (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer)? Wasn’t he a blond guy?
OR…go as the character Jon Heder played in Blades of Glory!
