I really need a night off from wedding crap, so Ken and I have ordered tickets. :D

Isn't he gonna be there August 31?

DOH!!! Yeah. Thursday, the 31st. I'm an idiot.

(Maybe a nice mod/admin will change the title and date for me. ;) )

Just from an electronic music history perspective this might be a show I'd regret missing never mind the Disney connection - and for $8? Time to check my calendar

Yep!! $8 for a Hollywood show. Can't beat that. :D

Hope you can join us! You two need some fun after this past weekend.

wow! Sounds so cool. I will have to think about this one. Would be fun. I've been to the Knitting Factory before. It's an ok venue. Had to stand though.

Hmmmmmmmm.......

You guys have got to go! If I was on the west coast this week, I'd be there. I met him earlier in the year - he recorded a message for the MousePod (I know, I know...), and signed a bunch of CDs, including a Japanese MSEP remix disc. Very nice guy... worth showing up just to give him your support.

Sadly, we have missed it, I hope somebody went and can report back.

I'm definitely going :D

It's tomorrow night. See CoasterMatt's comment. She put the wrong date. ;)

I"m going!!

Damn - well maybe

Cool. Hope you kids can make it!!

Gotta find my MSEP picture disk!

Heh heh- bit late, but I got around to changing the date. It sounds fun- I would like to be there. I love the MSEP music.

Ok, I got a ticket - I'll probably be at Hollywood & Highland around 6:00 or 6:30.

Hey, I didn't know that Bat's Day Noah is the promoter for this gig - should be an interesting crowd.

WOOHOO!!! We'll get there probably just before the start of the show.

I've got my CD in the car, and a Sharpie. :blush:

Is NA coming too? :D

I'm up for some Ice Cream after, if anybody else is!

Maybe?

Wow. All I can say is that was really "odd".

I just can't belive I heard the "hoedown" played live! What a treat!

Thanks DP for letting us in on the event!

A truely awsome event and much needed after a long day at work. Jean-Jacques was a delight, telling stories of Salvadore Dali, and playing with his hand puppet elephant, "Mickey." I knew I'd hear Hoedown, but I was overwhelmmed at hearing it live. The rest of the set was spectacular, I wish this stuff played in Tomorrowland all the time. The man's a genius, and at age 77, I can only hope to be as fun loving as him at his age.

Word is, he'll be in the park tomorrow, and at the first showing of the Electrical parade at DCA - anyone going to be there?

Wonderful show!

It was like America Sings on acid! I haven't had as much sheer joy at a concert in a long time. Absolutely surreal moments were plentiful - the guy in front of us with absolutely wizard like yoyo skills (and he made it look so EASY), a room full of people standing and clapping along to Baroque Hoedown IN A NIGHTCLUB!, even better - the people wandering in from the adjoining Alterknit Lounge - where some punk band was playing. Really fun "WTF?!?" moment. During the Baroque Hoedown, I said to Noah K "I don't think I've ever seen something so surreal, even at Bat's Day" - he agreed :D

The new disc is tons of fun, and it won't even be released for another month :)

I've been listening to the CD off and on today - really cheery stuff to be yelled at by :D

I'm STILL grinning from ear-to-ear. And, I'm still trying to talk my mom into going to DCA for tonight's parade. I've already got the camcorder charging, just in case.

I was getting screamed at a lil while ago, and I kept hearing 'Chicken On The Rocks' and GRINNING :D

That is SO funny!! I love it - it's like an audible shield against bad attitudes. :snap:

Don't forget the "special message" after the last track. Just let it play in silence and behold a whole other world of oddities. :)

While most of my pictures turned out like this:


(and I kick myself for only having a cell phone to take picture with) I did get a few better shots:










A "balanced" photo that reminds me of Wim Wenders dreaming:



And a photo of Jean-Jacques and ourvery own Borneo - Honest:

Aw, thanks E. You can just make out what shirt I was wearing! :)

The photo's are neat, in a Norma Desmond kinda way.

THANKS!!

you guys were lucky to see him . I hope he dedicated all your MSEP CD Cover .

I know him and met him several times event at the Last MSEP here at Disneyland Paris in 2003 .

It's a very nice guy . i'd love to see him in LA .

His new CD is really fun! Thanks €uro!

And, in honor of this great event and my all-time fave song, I ordered my custom license plates a couple weeks ago!

It reads:

BRQHDWN

:D

(Yeah, I'm a geek.)

I know it's slightly obscure, but I think with my MSEP license plate frame, some people will get it. Well, at least cool people will. ;)

Awesome!
