Musings

Got back at 4 AM from seeing a Muse concert in Cleveland. Hence the punny title. Appreciate what I have done. I hope you found it a-muse-ing.

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Guess that means it happened.

It was a great trip, left at 1 PM yesterday, got their early, found our seats, had some expensive as hell stadium beers. Asked the lady at the bar there what the difference was between a Single Cocktail ($7.50) and a Super Premium Cocktail ($10.75). She said Patron. Most straightforward answer I've ever heard.

The show ruled with the lasers and the explosions and the leds and what have you. Muse is keeping a large number of electrical engineers employed. Everything is covered in leds, fucking everything. Like all the god damned things. At one point even Bellamy's eyes had monitors on them. Not to mention the pyramid of monitor thing you see there, which inverts itself and even covers the drummer over entirely. The amount of things that could go wrong that didn't is really kind of astounding to me. Their bloody road crew has gone ahead and made a rock show about as technically complicated as some NASA endeavors. Just because.

Then after the show we had to move with the mob back out into the streets of Cleveland to find our cars. This one group started pushing through everyone screaming "LARRY!" over and over again. Within a minute, the several thousand people in stuck in the hallways were all screaming for Larry. Where the hell is that guy? Fuckin' Larry.

Then we drove home. Now I'm back at Alfred and I've been handed a take home test, so yeah.

Also on an unrelated note, I'm enjoying the fact that Elliot's mom is Neil's unofficial StarTalk photographer. We just got handed some of her photos and were told to leak them to Reddit, to which I replied, "I can karma".
