Wow the Pink Martini hyperbole is going to injure someone over here. I watched the set and it was fun and enjoyable. I thought Storm Large was the kind of over-the-top performer that annoys the hell out of me, though she sounded great, and her Spanish was gorgeous. The band was impeccable, with lots of energy. But I still would rather have been watching, I don't know, Robyn. Call me crazy. If there was a way to hit someone via the internet I'm pretty sure the collective e-fist of Gramma, Souly and Stormy would be flying out of your screen right about now.

But I would not hit someone for not liking music I liked. Even over the internets.

sure they're all very gifted musicians, but Pink Martini just doesn't do anything for me. just not my thing.

It was a surreal and delightful show, no doubt. Broke up the afternoon really well.

Group E Extra: Flogging Molly. [Insert Molly joke here] I'm really surprised this joke didn't come up earlier, and even more so that I never thought of it.

At Sasquatch I mixed up Pink Martini wit Fitz and the Tantrums or whatever. I was absolutely sure I didn't want to see Pink Martini and told all my friends how badly they sucked, and that they have a really annoying, over played radio song, and that I'd rather die than watch Pink Martini. Funny thing is I actually thought you guys were all on glue, preaching to us of their greatness. Then I looked up Pink Martini, and realized I was thinking of Fitz and the Tantrums. Sometimes my stupidity astounds me.

Doesn't mean we weren't on glue.

The comment about her dress was mostly in response to the comment about how she put the whole audience in a trance. I'm saying that the unlimited amount of sexy wasn't the only thing about that set that was so great. I get it. She really is the complete package. And she looked at Gunther. She didn't just look at me, she undressed me with her eyes. My heart is still thumping.

My plan was to watch some Wye Oak and then catch the end of Pink Martini. What ended up happening was Jeffrying myself while watching Wye Oak, lying on the ground, and taking a mindtrain to Awesomeville.
