Two things, very quickly because it's Saturday and I'm an idle toad

[jamjar]

First is in lieu of actual words, here's a bunch of clips I took at Decaydance: here on youtube. Variable quality and lots of waving hands, but there are some nice moments of Gabe talking about love, Spencer drumming and Brendon making strange faces, Andy drumming and gratuitous Sisky. I didn't get to take as many clips and pics as i'd like, on account of location, other people and also, being distracted by the music.

The show was great, with all the bands just seeming really on and really happy to be there. Could have done with some longer sets and one or two fewer tossers in the audience (dear guy standing next to me: if you're the only one moshing, it's not a mosh pit, it's just you being a tosser and you're not allowed to complain if the next time you try to slam into me, my elbow is there) but most of the audience were pretty good and I got to meet up with a bunch of great people and do the dance of varying layers of identity. "My username is this, but my real name is that, and you can call me..."

Second is in a display of cult loyalty fannish enthusiasm, I'm pimping WorldWideFangs. This is the product of one of those conversations that start "hey, you know what'd be funny?" And in this case lead on to "People throwing fangs for Cobra Starship around the world, especially if it's at a landmark or something."

Admittedly, at the moment "around" is more like one city in Europe and people is more like "two", but membership is open. If you have a picture and no flickr account, let me know and I can upload it for you.

came here via friendsfriends list and I think WorldWideFangs is an awesome idea. May I pimp it to my local fbr lj?

Sure! Membership is open so anyone can join.

This is why I have a seated ticket for my solo pilgrimage to see MCR in Newcastle. I cannot take on the mighty moshing morons on my own. :/

Yeah. It's one thing if you're with someone, it's another if you're on your own.

*Waves* I met you during Decaydance, so I thought I'd friend you. That is, if you don't mind. :)

[jamjar.livejournal.com]

Sure! I have an open friending policy.

Nothing to do with your post, but I only just realised I completely forgot to phone you the other weekend. I am so so sorry! I completely fail at life. I'll be coming to London probably quite regularly in the next few months though so hopefully we can catch up at some point.

I figured you were probably swamped. No worries, we'll try again next time you're down?

[takadainmate.livejournal.com]

As soon as there's the opportunity I'll let you know!

Hi Jenny, I'm a friend of Louise's and she said I should add you, so I have! I don't lj any more except to read people's journals, my actual blog is over at http://fingersandtoes.wordpress.com, there should be a link to the lj syndication on my lj though. (got that?) Anyway, nice to meet you!
