• 22:17 @immlass my best wishes for your great-aunt being okay even if you can't find out right now. #
• 22:25 @blurker deep breaths. Possibly augmented by deep pulls on a pint or two. #
• 22:38 @mcroft never discount the power of RP to distract and comfort. God knows I do it myself. #
• 08:47 @eponis sure, 3PM! please allow for variations in traffic. :) #
• 10:13 trying to figure out what I'll wear to tonight's concert. Tempted to wear a skirt. #
• 13:01 On my way out the door with @eternaleponine to see Alkaline Trio at WFNX's Disorientation show and meet up with @ eponis & bf for lunch. #
• 15:09 @eponis we are here outside Pressed Sandwiches but they are closed! Other suggestions? #
• 16:42 @matociquala I do not think that they will sing to me. #
• 16:57 At Disorientation at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston. Portable seats filling in the pit. BOO. #
• 16:59 We are five rows back of the erstwhile pit. #
• 17:07 Does It Offend You Yeah? Sadly, the answer is probably yes. #
• 17:12 They are feeding all the vocals through a cheesy effects box. This does not endear them to me. #
• 17:15 And the reason that @eternaleponine types faster than I do is that she has a Sidekick. #
• 17:17 QWERTY keyboard > 9 key. :p #
• 17:20 They said this song was 'poppier.' also EVEN LOUDER. #
• 17:21 Actually if they weren't testing the operating limits of the amps, Dawn of the Dead would be OK. #
• 17:24 It's the middle of the afternoon in an outdoor pavilion. The fog machine is unnecessary. #
• 17:26 And now the vocal fx are back. And they ripped off the opening riff from Head Like A Hole. #
• 17:39 The drummer for the Kooks is wearing a skinny tie and a porkpie hat. #
• 17:48 Okay, that's actually the drummer for Anberlin. Guess they replaced the band that cancelled. #
• 17:53 Does anyone know what label Anberlin is on? I will bet a cookie it's Drive-Thru. #
• 17:55 They are not bad, but they are VERY generic emo. Which is why I think Drive-Thru. #
• 17:57 All further Disorientation tweets will be from me because @eternaleponine's battery is too low. #
• 18:02 Singer has stuck his mic in his back pocket. Better wizards than you have lost a buttock that way! #
• 18:22 Alchemical symbols on the drum kit. Gotta be Alkaline Trio next. #
• 18:36 Oh yeah. There's Matt's guitar with the inverted pentagram. Definitely Trio next. Hurry up, techs! #
• 18:44 Radio station shenanigans. FAIL, WFNX. Just bring out Alk3! #
• 18:52 When did Matt Skiba get his nose pierced? #
• 19:10 WARBRAIN! #
• 21:41 @theredshoes oh excellent! #

MATT SKIBA DID WHAT?

...zomg.


Warbrain! Gah, so much sexy. I dunno if I've ever heard it live...ugh. I almost almost bought a ticket to that show, you'll have to let me know if it was worth it (I'd only have been there for the Trio anyways because I'm laaaame, but instead I worked for like, ten hours. Go me).

We left after the Trio because eternaleponine was out of spoons -- tendonitis in her her foot after her Disney vacation.

But it was a totally awesome Trio show. Opened with Private Eye, then Calling All Skeletons, I Lied My Face Off, In Vein, Mercy Me, Love Love Kiss Kiss, Emma, Warbrain, Help Me, This Could Be Love, and of course Radio.

I may have the order in the middle just slightly off.

As usual the vocals weren't far enough forward in the mix... but it was better than average.
