I Don't want the World to See Me

Okay, I went through Photobucket so I could post these. The ones from my camera pretty much focused on the sea of heads in front of me, so I grabbed these from the camcorder recordings:

( Pics! )

So, Sunday, michelleann68 and I went to see Jay Brannan. We went last year around the same time. He was promoting his new album of covers (with a few originals).

Last year, the concert was at The Triple Door. There were nice tables and you could order food, etc. This time? There was a bar. That was it. Only standing room. 100 degrees outside, 80+ inside. Eww. Around the wall, there was a table extension, and Michelle and I secured a spot by it so we at least had something to put our bags on.

I can't remember who was first up to sing...Michelle didn't post about it, so I can't steal ^_^
But anyway, there were these two guys who were practically glued to each other-kissing, nibbling, attached at the hip. Too hot to cuddle!

I brought my camcorder, but had given up the idea of recording when I saw how crowded it was. But, by the time the first person was done performing, I didn't care any more. So. I recorded all of Jay's songs. There were some really sweet people who ducked out of the way every time they went past me :D

Apologies for the people in the way on some of the shots and my unsteady hand. Feet were killing me and hard to shuffle and not jiggle camera.

Not embedding these 'cause there are quite a few.

Bolded my Favorites.

1. Your Body's a Temple--Michelle's favorite song of his, from his previous album.
At the start, he is talking about the heat

2. On All Fours--He mentions that Seattle has the most vampires, then makes Twilight jokes :D Glittering FTW

3. Housewife--Dedicated to Edward Cullen! Hilarious!

4. Zombie--One of his covers from the new album and more talks of the freaking insane weather.

10. Denmark--Cover, I think. Pretty.

11. Straight out of Compton--Jay's cover of a cover that he can't put on his album. Be warned: A lot of swearing ahead!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_abt066VKo

12. Both Hands--Cover. Another pretty song! (Shhhhh, but he forgot the words in the middle of it)

13. Goddamned--I love this song :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMbe2skR5oM

14. Blowin' in the Wind--*dies* This was my absolute fav on the set. He normally has these African...clacker things. That he keeps beat with. But they broke (awww), BUT he decided to sing it A'Capella! It sounded amazing!

15. Can't Have it All--Last song. From his first album

At the end, we got our CDs signed. While in line, this one guy got his pic taken with him and scurried off after to squee at his friend "He touched me!" LOL

I hope he does another tour next year, but pleeeeese in an airconditioned venue!

Another good day for stuff in Seattle. Went to a film earlier called In Search of a Midnight Kiss. It was an independent film, shot in black and white. About this guy who was trying to find love on Craigslist 24 hours before the new year. He finds a date and....well, telling what happens would give away the ending ;) But it was really good and had very nice and quick dialogue that really moved the plot along.

And, tonight, the whole reason for this visit--to see Jay Brannan's Fat is a Feeling concert tour. Eeeee!!!!!11 He was hilarious! And a lot of the people there (almost a full house) had definately heard of him and were hollering and clapping. He mentioned the Margaret Cho vid he put up a few days ago and the crowd went wild (while I squeed because I had been hoping he was going to sing the song. He 'claimed' he didn't remember all the words, but he sang the chorus and a bit of the start. Here is the version with him and Margaret Cho:
(WARNING!! Crude and very naughty)


I managed to sneak off a picture (hey, need to have something to post for my daily picture :D ) and I brought along the album I bought awhile ago to get it signed.



*flails*

Michelle had been wanting him to sing Your Body's a Temple and was sad after he sang his last song, but the audience was screaming so much that he came back for one more. After having that song title hollered at him (he thanked everyone for saying that), he sang it ^_^

He was adorable. While he sounds good on Youtube, he is way better in person. Uugh, I hope he comes back here so I can poke at Michelle to go with me again ;)
