Puffy AmiYumi - HOB Anaheim 11/18

[€uroMeinke]

Anyone interested in seeing Puffy AmiYumi? (http://www.puffyamiyumi.com/) I can get some presale tickets for $20 (plus evil charges). It's a Sunday night.

[Gemini Cricket]

Nani?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I'm in!

[mousepod]

Sounds like a fun night. I haven't bought tickets for Ween @ the Wiltern yet... and I have seen them semi-recently (with €uro and NA)... hmmm....

[blueerica]

Hmm more musical fun... But, I'm going to guess that I'll be opening that Monday. I will have to see what wonders I can work with my work schedule. Or what happens to the rest of my schedule

[Mousey Girl]

Their short lived cartoon pretty much killed any desire to ever want to see them live.

[Gemini Cricket]

"Nori!"

It all started when we first met,
And strapped on our guitars!
We made music so great and good
That soon we were rock stars.

The biggest in Japan,
With tons of screaming fans.
We're out on tour around the world,
So come and join the band!
Ein! Zwei! Drei! (German)

The systems grow we rock and blow
with songs to sing!!!

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Is there a suicide pact for after the show???

[DreadPirateRoberts]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but how do you guys know all about these bands I've never heard of?

[Not Afraid]

We're dorks.

[BDBopper]

Wow. I remember the cartoon...and suddenly I miss it. It disappeared one day and I forgot about it.

[BarTopDancer]

Sounds interesting!

[Moonliner]

I have no knowledge of this Puffy AmiYumi of which you speak.

However I did just purchase tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra when they come to town in December. Are the two groups similar?

[NirvanaMan]

I believe I heard them this weekend. In.

[Ponine]

I know this is probably a stupid question, but how do you guys know all about these bands I've never heard of?

In this case, your kids dont watch the right cartoon channels. This band, I had actually heard of.

Got it. If we ever have a Hannah Montana swanking, I'll know what you are talking about. ;)

[katiesue]

Got it. If we ever have a Hannah Montana swanking, I'll know what you are talking about. ;)

Me too.

[Ponine]

Exaclty. And when we have $700 a ticket to pay the scalpers. :p

[Moonliner]

Ok now Ms. Montana/Cyrus I know. We were able to beat the Tickermaster fastdraw and score 3 seats for headliner to her concert in January.

[katiesue]

Exaclty. And when we have $700 a ticket to pay the scalpers. :p

And then we can get all pissy cause our kid "has" to see Miley and we "had" to pay scalpers because Disney should have had more/cheaper tickets. :rolleyes:

[Moonliner]

And then we can get all pissy cause our kid "has" to see Miley and we "had" to pay scalpers because Disney should have had more/cheaper tickets. :rolleyes:

Oh and speaking of that. The WSJ had an article (http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB119153995723149557.html)on why it was so hard to get tickets for the Hanna Montana show. It's them pesky scalpers once again...

[BarTopDancer]

Wait. This conflicts with the Griffith Swank. Now I'm confused.

[€uroMeinke]

I have no idea about the cartoon, but I love Japanese Pop Bands - so I hear two ins and a few maybes?

[NirvanaMan]

I'm confused with the dates of Griffith swank as well. Is there a conflict?

[€uroMeinke]

Looks like there is potential for that, depending on how late that goes

[blueerica]

I will likely be in. I'm tempted to get a pre-sale ticket and do whatever I have to around it.

OK, I'm in. Wait, wait, wait... Let me double check my syllabii.

[blueerica]

Yeah, I'm in. If I absolutely must, I'll just lose out on the ticket or give it to someone here, though it looks like I should be clear!!

[BarTopDancer]

Looks like there is potential for that, depending on how late that goes

With enough planning both could be done.

How long does it take to get from Griffith to Anaheim?

[€uroMeinke]

I have picked up 5 tickets for this event for myself and:

Not Afraid
ElizaHodgkins 1812
NirvanaMan
Blueerica

Tickets still available at ticket Master for anyone else who wishes to join

[blueerica]

Yes! This will be fun!!

[Perle]

I'm so jealous!! Maybe I'll catch the show up here at SF's Fillmore. Is anyone going to go in Cosplay?

[NirvanaMan]

Solid.

[blueerica]

Sweet!

[CoasterMatt]

I might be able to make this one...

Would black latex chaps and leopard print everything else count as cosplay?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

What are the plans for meeting up?

[€uroMeinke]

Hmm - we have none yet, there is a park nearby for someone wanting to make a day of it. Sometimes dining at the HOB gets you early entry, or there's the AP Lounge...

[€uroMeinke]

Well hat was fun - I'd love to do it again.

Sadly no pics, anyone caught taking a picture (even with cellphone) was expelled from the venue. But I'm ready to quit my job and become one of the PuffyAmiYumi back-up dancers.

[Not Afraid]

Great show! Lots and lots of fun! It's nice to have a great view from almost anywhere in the club because you happen to be taller than 99% of the attendees. Poor people behind me. ;)

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I feel your pain NA! ;)

I thought about going, just the whole Hannah Montana at the Park detered me.

[Moonliner]

It's nice to have a great view from almost anywhere in the club because you happen to be taller than 99% of the attendees. Poor people behind me. ;)

I know what you mean. People don't know what a curse it is to be tall.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I know what you mean. People don't know what a curse it is to be tall.
Oh, I think those behind you know all about cursing.

[€uroMeinke]

Eh, the girls behind us were sitting on the bar, so ith ink they were fine.

I'd like to add though that seeing NA sing along to the Teen Titans theme songs was a show in itself.

[NirvanaMan]

F'in awesome. If only I could look like Angus Young with a Panda on my head. I aspire to achieve such levels of success.

[Not Afraid]

OMG! I saw the "Angus Young " connection too. Wern't we standing next to each other?

[blueerica]

I had so much fun last night! With the exception of a really bitchy white-girl in front of me (I know - like I don't look white to most people...) I had a fantastic time. I was next to a bunch of little Japanese girls, which in case you didn't know, are the cutest thing next to little Thurston.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I want to shrinky-dink those Puffy Ami Yumi girls and keep them in my pocket. Puffy Ami Yumi Tamagotchi pets! My adorable new Japanese pocket pals will help me to fight crime whilst always keeping me entertained.

Somewhere in Japan exists a might power source from which all Japanese pop / punk rock stars get their energy. They are freakishly peppy at all times.

[Moonliner]

I do need to toss out some love to Big-€ for starting this thread.

As a result of this tread I listened to a bunch of Puffy AmiYumi songs. Their theme song and "Tokyo I'm on my way" got stuck in my head....

Two days ago my kids were talking and happened to mention the show. I of course broke out into my best: "Hey, Hey, Puffy AmiYumi Show... We made music soo sweet and pure that...."

The looks on their faces: Priceless.

Thanks. :snap:

[NirvanaMan]

I want to shrinky-dink those Puffy Ami Yumi girls and keep them in my pocket.

I prefer them full size. As to what they do in my pocket, well...


They were hot. In a ridiculously cute, punk, baggy clothed, polite Japanese pop star way. So yeah, totally hot.

[Not Afraid]

T E E N T I T A N S Teen Titans, let's go
T E E N T I T A N S Teen Titans, let's go
T E E N T I T A N S Teen Titans, let's go
T E E N T I T A N S Teen Titans, let's GO!!

[Not Afraid]

Thurston likes Puffy AmiYumi. Chris says it's because it's J-Pug.

Heee! Next time I'll watch them through Heterosexual Man Goggles, so I can see what you see. :)

[€uroMeinke]

I'm sure someone can direct you to some appropriately themed websites...

[Moonliner]

From Puffy to this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=R9dWMhSJq0c)

What have you done to me €?

[mousepod]

You want to see something really cool? Try Asakusa Jinta.

here's one live video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmwvhWXc31s)

here's another (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfLaLGaZ9Cc)

[Not Afraid]

It's completely addicting, isn't it? I see a trip to Japan in your future.

[€uroMeinke]

Tokyo - I'm on my way!

[NirvanaMan]

Heee! Next time I'll watch them through Heterosexual Man Goggles, so I can see what you see. :)

Perhaps I will just buy you a set of your own for xmas.

[Snowflake]

How about this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cMlJD8N6l_k&feature=related)?

I love this, btw!
