And I didn't compare MC Ride's stage presence to Bruce Springsteen, what I said was that having seen both that week I was more impressed by MC Ride's stage presence.

Wait, what?

So how was the Surfjohn Christmas Blowout?

John sang "say hey, baby I fucked your mother!" and then I cried.

Good call. I guess it doesn't matter what anyone says as I have tickets and am going to see it on Sunday.

I'm supposed to be writing the final draft of an essay which I wrote about spending a day at the children's hospital here in Portland for my creative non-fiction writing class, but I am seriously considering paraphrasing everything that I've said in my previous three drafts in a paragraph or two and then re-directing the piece to fit the title 'Why the Surfjohn Stevens Christmas Sing-A-Long Seasonal Affective Disorder Yuletide Disaster Pageant on Ice is the Greatest Thing I Have Ever Seen'.

Don't ask me how, but I really think it might work.

Sufjan's probably not on acid, he is just insane.

Posted by XhornedXgrammaX on Dec 7, 2012, 5:19pm

That was how he introduced the show last night. Considering the performance that followed and the complete lack of ice in Portland at the moment, it was certainly fitting.

That's amazing. I caught him at the Paramount in Seattle during his Age of Adz tour, and he said nothing near as bizarre. Still a phenomenal show though. Completely changed my perspective on that album.

Posted by XhornedXgrammaX on Dec 7, 2012, 5:27pm

The Adz tour was fucking unbelievable.

Posted by nick on Dec 7, 2012, 5:31pm

YES. The only thing that was kind of annoying was that the Paramount kept all the theatre seats in. Luckily, by the time they started "Impossible Soul," everybody ditched their seats and ran up and started dancing in the aisles anyway.

Posted by nick on Dec 7, 2012, 5:31pm

Also, our minds were being so thoroughly blown up to that point that it probably wouldn't have mattered.

Posted by XhornedXgrammaX on Dec 7, 2012, 5:33pm

We saw that tour at the Schnitz here in Portland, which is the fancy-pants venue. I don't think I would have been much good for dancing, I was sitting there feeling like I was stuck in the last twenty minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey for most of that show.
