i'd normally be there, but i am working the lostprophets show at the 930. and believe me, i would rather be at the cat. as if the secret machines and helio sequence weren't enough, they added NEIL HAMBURGER to open. that guy's a national treasure.

Really, pollard, we don't need to know about that....
 
 I talked with the manager last night about the show -- I was going to get there really late due to a dinner, and he recommended I buy a ticket as it's possible the show sells out at some point during the night.  Meaning, if you're there for Helio at least, you should be fine...

I went to the Fire Theft show to see these guys opening and they were excellent. I'm going back to see them again.

i really enjoyed all 3 acts, was a bit disappointed that The Helio Sequence seemed to be faking some of their show, like the harmonica for one, but they put on a good show for most of their set, Secret Mahcines were outstanding

The crowd started filing out as the SM set went along. Probably due to the late start. This was my second time seeing them and they are fantastic. Their song structures really remind of "Wall"-era Floyd, and they are great at ambient soundscapes. They are much better live than on album, IMO.

yeah, how did the crowd react to neil hamburger? his shtick is more concept/performance art than mere comedy.
 
 "why did anthony kiedis of the red hot chili peppers cross the road?"
 
 "to buy more HEROIN!"

lots of RHCP jokes last night and Courtney Love jokes, the crowd was pretty sparse during his set, the crowd was split between nervous laughter and dislike I think, with a few big fans

hahaha, that's usually the way it is. i love the nervous-audience-has-no-idea-whether-to-laugh-or-heckle atmosphere.
 
 i bet those courtney love jokes were really tasteless.

What is the difference between Courtney Love and the american flag?
 
 its wrong to piss on the flag
 
 Why won't Courtney Love be having cranberry sauce with her Thanksgiving dinner?
 
 she'll be dead by then
 
 were just a couple of them
