Morrissey March 11, 2009

Life has been pretty boring lately, yes. But we did get to go see Morrissey perform at the Durham Performing Arts Center ( DPAC). It's a new center and really beautiful, with big comfy seats great sound, and small enough that there isn't a bad seat in the house.
So here's a few pics for you to enjoy. i have a video of the encore, but hafta figure out how to make it smaller so it will fit on Youtube.


Ok, of course this isn't Morrissey, but some dude who looked just like Christopher Walken in his crazy stages. Complete with crazy hair. i wish i could have gotten a better pic but it was too dark and he was too far away in the front row in a suit, Umm, free tix perhaps? he didn't stick around for long, that's for sure. LOL




Ok, I have NO problems whatsoever with homosexuality, but that's the GAYEST backdrop evah! Indeed it is! LOL


Obligatory strip down and shirt toss, to which 5 late 30 something women all dived after and fought over.



2nd shirt and I guess best pic of the bunch, we were a little far away to get too many good closeups, even with my awesome cam.
We had an awesome time and it was a good set, although i really didn't know most of it since Chris is the bigger fan than me, but the encore was Irish Blood, English Heart which was great to hear. We also stood outside for 1 1/2 hours because the tour buses were on the side of the building, but he still snuck out of the parking garage in yet another bus, so we didn't get to catch him. I suppose we're lucky he even played since he cancelled all but 1 (say 5) of the previous shows. It was also a hoot to see how many people (male and female) who jumped the stage and attacked him for hugs. I mean, really, the dude is 50. *gigglesnort*. Craziness. i hear the show after ours in Richmond, Va was even worse because the stage was only 3 feet off the floor, so people were jumping onstage in droves. LOL. n the vid I have you can see a bit of it, and the security guards booting people offstage. Oh MY!!!!
