11/16/06 Avalon Show
Great Show! First off, they didn't take tickets! Anyone could have gotten in. All you had to do was show an over 21 ID and you got in.
Ok, now that I pissed you off for not going
Here are the pictures I took last night
Hope you like them.
Also here are two videos on youtube

I'm still perplexed by those visuals during "Get Over It" ...
100% sure, because I didnt have a ticket and I got in. No one checked any list or asked for ID other than to check age.
Cool videos, btw. I really like the bit of the acoustic set. And your audio's great!
Why are there two OK Go messageboards? I'd have told you all how to get in if I'd known this board existed.
Anyway. Some photos from the show are up on scamper.net, with more behind-the-scenes nonsense to come in blog form soon.
Hugs and kisses.
Hi Katy.
Hey, Mr. Nate, look at this thread:

Cool poster, btw.

Yeah, I saw that one too, but decided to reply to this one since it seemed more relevant. At least in that it had been bumped more recently.
Btw, what was that thing about one of you Scamper dudes finding one Mr. Kulash with his pants around his ankles backstage one time last year (?) ?? Seem to remember something about that on your website ...... What's that about???

Everywhere I go, this story follows.
There's not much too it. Last fall we opened for them at a smaller club in Boston that doesn't have a huge backstage area for the bands, and certainly no separate dressing areas. All three bands were crammed into a little green room, and I stumbled in on our boy, sick as a dog, changing into his stage suit. I was delivering him two shots of whiskey to soothe his ravaged throat.
Juliette Lewis was also present, being utterly bizarre.
Naturally, this whole story was also recounted backstage last night.
I had no idea it was so well-known that it followed you--sorry to bring it up as soon as you arrive here!
Juliette Lewis's presence definitely makes it bizarre. lol
And was fun had by all, regaling?

Hi Katy.
BAH Nate found the Boards! Hi!
I guess I should have told you about them, I totally forgot. These are the cooler boards.
First off,I did a fan correspondent video with dan,and that'll be up on youtube shortly.It would be there already,but i can't upload the video to this laptop,so I have to wait until I get home and upload it to my desktop on tuesday.
However! The show was absolutely fantastic! At first there was a bit of drama,I didn't know the show was 21+(I know,I know,ill informed of me.),but I was on the okgo guestlist,so I figured they'd let me in anyway.But,of course security didn't,so I had to stand there for a good 20 minutes just trying to reason with them,but they gave me the fake excuse that my name wasn't there,when I could clearly see it.Anyway,by the greatness of OKGo and their affiliates,someone talked to someone and before I knew it,I was inside the avalon ..shh.I mean,it's ridiculous,my DAD was with me at this show,that never happens! How much trouble can I get in to? Just about none. Anyway,that doesn't matter,so I'll move on to the actual show review.
Scamper were great! Lots of fun,everyone seemed to be enjoying them,including myself.The journey cover was absolutely fantastic,including the fierce dance moves, heh. They had limited edition OKGo/Scamper shirts they were giving away at the merch table,but I didn't get one.They were really neat,though.They had elephants screenprinted on them and everything!
Then,the cinematics took stage! They were lots of fun,too.A bit stiff,but still pretty okay.I wouldn't call myself great fans of their work,but they're easy to dance to,which is nice.I think I would have liked it better if I had known more of their material,but it wasn't boring or treacherous by any means. Funny,they're from Scotland,but I couldn't detect the smallest bit of an accent.Or maybe I was just going deaf standing next to the speaker.
Of course OK Go were absolutely phenomenal.From the stage set,to the new interactive elements of their shows,and just overall quality,it was amazing.It was just like I remembered them seven months ago,but cleaned up and improved.Still rough around the edges,but the show is extremely cohesive and well planned,with a bit of spontaneity still thrown in there. Damian was a bit more candid that night than a few of the other shows I had seen of theirs,but I'm assuming that was because it was 21+,and he felt as though he didn't have to be so careful about what he said,which was absolutely hilarious. Hearing 'what to do' live and acoustic pretty much made my day,and I don't think I've ever heard "return" sound as good as it did that night.
Being backstage at an OK Go concert was fantastic.Given,I wasn't there long,I was there to do an interview,but it was so neat to see all of the boys really relaxed in their own element.I mean,Damian,Andy,and Tim were all around while I was interviewing Dan,and I didn't even say hi to Damian or Andy,because I didn't want to bother them.It was an experience in itself to see them as normal guys,who eat pizza and tell jokes.You know,when they're not dancing on treadmills and wearing suits and whatnot. All I can say is that they have to be the kindest band around,and that Dan is an absolute sweetheart.I fumbled over my words once or twice,needed help setting up my camera,and even still he was completely at ease and made me feel a bit more comfortable.Which,for the sake of the interview and my own well being was nice.I mean,I've met them all before on numerous occasions,I just think I was intimidated by the filming aspect as well as the awareness that my filming skills are still in the learning process.But,he said it went great,so I'll take his word for it.
Hm,I think that pretty much sums it up.
In short,it was really great,and completely memorable.The only complaint(which isn't much of a complaint at all) is that I got home from the show around 1:30 in the morning due to horrible weather and had to leave almost instantaneously from my house after I returned home to go to the airport to catch a 5AM flight.Oh,what I do to go see OKGo shows. Totally worth it,though.
I love Dan. He's so great. I'm sure your interview was wonderful. It probably went much better than my interview with Tim, where I forgot my first question and it took me like a minute to remember and I only asked about four questions.
Sounded like you had a great time. I really want to see pictures of those OK Go/ Scamper shirts. Maybe I should take a look on the Scamper website and see if they have any.
Glad to hear all the initial drama was worked out--that must have been nerve-wracking ...
Thanks for the review.
Hippos. Not elephants.
I assure you, we are totally out. We were embarassingly understocked; our merch girl reports that our limited supply was ransacked in about 10 seconds, with near Cabbage Patch / Tickle-Me-Elmo hysteria taking place at the merch table.
Here's a shot of them, anyway.

^^Uhbuh????
That's pretty much the awesomest thing ever.
Elle- I'm glad you had such a good time! You know I would have been there with you if I could have.
