San Fran show!

poobs - 3-13-2004 at 02:27 AM

I know we kinda have one in the Discussion area, but this is where it should be, eh? Well, I'm pooped, but it was a great show..I think they needed to turn Alex's mic up a bit more, but all in all, awesome show..I think Justin really stood out with his rad dance moves.. :lol:

I would go into more detail, but as I said, I'm pooped!! So what did y'all think??

Oh..And I met ipodgod who is a really awesome chap and two other girls, Amanda and Isobelle (probably spelled wrong), who really made the night extra fun! Front Row Posse in the hizzouse!! :D

avw86 - 3-13-2004 at 03:34 AM

front row posse in the hizzouse!

man oh man...this night was just TOO unbelievable! i got his bracelet! hehe ;-)

oh, and her name is spelled isabel, hehe.

what's chris's screen name on her? i wanna see the picture he took for me.

it was so great meeting you two :-D

MichelleRene - 3-13-2004 at 09:57 AM

Fantastic! I can't wait til Poobs gets out of bed and gives us the details....glad you all had a great time. I can't wait til the Chili Cook-Off in 2 weeks, which hopefully I'll be at.

Man...I'm jonesin' for a Bot show!
:yes:

poobs - 3-13-2004 at 10:34 AM

Ok..After 7 hours of sleep, my neck is sore, my back is sore, and my legs are stiff..I obviously had a great time!! :D

So, the show! The boys were chock-full of energy and Justin even got a guitar ass rubbing! I didn't think the crowd was as enthusiastic as I was planning on, but people were singing along, so that's cool..Justin had said before the show that they were going to try to do a new song, and they pulled it off..Party All The Time was way more rockin' than I remembered!

I practically pooed my pants when Alex said they were going to do The Beat Goes On, and it lived up to my expectations..Awesome..They ended with Ages of Ruin, which did actually make me poo my pants..Such a great song, but especially live! The only thing that took away from the show was the 14 year old girls screaming for Alex as though he was the last bottle of clearasil in the world..Oi..I mentioned to Alex that I felt like I was at a Backstreet Boys concert for a second there and he just laughed..

Justin revealed that the El Rey show is going to be a 3-camera shoot, so be sure to look extra special that night!

All in all, a fabulous experience!!

poobs - 3-13-2004 at 10:37 AM

Not to take away from the joy of the night, but there were some total a-holes whose place I saved in line for over a freaking hour in will-call who wasn't going to come to bat for us if his buddy wouldn't let us join them in the front of the ticket holder line..I think it's lame that after you got your will call ticket you had to go back into another line, but whatever..I hope those kids and their loser posse rot in Hell.. :mad:

:saint:

Hey Amanda! Chris's name on here is ipodgod, but he lurkes more than posts! :mad:

:D He'll get the stuff to you..don't you worry your pretty little head about it!

Oh..And speaking of, I got a pic with Alex..It was a last minute thing and I don't like the way I look in it, but I got it..I felt like such a tourist.. :no:

HAAAA! last bottle of clearasil :lol:

alright look extra special :D

digidistortions - 3-13-2004 at 12:08 PM

that show was awesome, but i agree the crowd was a letdown. i can barely speak today 'cause i was yelling for an "encore" with all my might since all the assholes around me looked halfway out the door when the band left the stage! and soem drunk chick elbowed her way in front of me to take pics of alex and started picking a fight with the people next to me... that being said, ti's the best concert i;'ve ever been to! ima robot put on ONE HELL of a good show! i also thoroughly enjoyed Head Automatica, although the volumes were all messed up (i couldn't hear any of the scratching Dan the Automator was doing, and there was all sorts of feedback). Maxeen was OK. I enjoyed them, but live I got tired of them about halfway through their set and I'd never buy a cd of theirs, but as far as opening bands go, it could have been worse.

poobs - 3-13-2004 at 12:36 PM

Totally..I couldn't hear the singer of Head Automatica when the guitarist starting going strong also..And yeah, Dan just looked like he was going through the movements, but nothing was playing..The sound could have been better for all groups, I thought..And, yeah, the opening bands could have been worse.. :yes:

theipodgod16 - 3-13-2004 at 01:33 PM

hey all, poobs, avn86 (i think, right?)

GREAT SHOW MY GOD. Now im more obsessive than i was before! I got all the pics uploaded to my computer, ill try to post/send them tonight. Yes, i couldnt hear alex much either. When i did, it was because he was sooo close to me that i could hear his normal voice!! He must have jumped on our group at least 2x, maybe more. AMAZING!! I got home at about 1, went to bed at 3, and woke up at 7 frickin 30!! ulgh. Cant wait for the sf warped show and the sac show!!! ill be there in july! Until later...

poobs - 3-13-2004 at 01:48 PM

What Sac show?? Crap..I gotta go! :o

RoboticTerrorSTD - 3-13-2004 at 01:57 PM

avw86 - 3-13-2004 at 02:33 PM

hey again, guys (especially chris and kendra!) so i nicked the setlist, and here it is. song#1, dirty life, a is for action, alive, std dance, dynomite, let's talk turkey, black jettas, scream, philosophee, beat goes on, 12=3, here come the bombs, party all the time, and ages of ruin.

here's some more details of my experience at the show (and this will be long...so good for those who wanted a lot of details). i went with my friend, isabel, and we were right at the stage at the center! we stood by kendra and chris (hence the name, 'team front row'

the first band, maxeen, sucked. they sounded like pop-punk. and the bassist/singer, though cute, kept 'raining' onto me and kendra. i felt bad that no one was into them, so i tried to make it look like i was somewhat interested. i took their setlist though (and gave it to chris after). the second band, head automatica had a lot of energy and were pretty good, musically. i just didn't really like the vocals that much. at one point, the guitarist looked down at me and smiled and gave a little wink ;-) i also took their setlist after.

now, onto the goods...there was a long wait between head automatica and ima robot, but it was WELL worth it! there was less room in the crowd, and there were a bunch of people who worked their way closer to the stage. i don't remember how long we waited for ima robot (maybe half an hour or something?). but when they came on, the crowd went wild! there were a bunch of people singing along, and alex was his usually crazy and energetic self, all the guys were. i gave justin a little thumbs up sign, and he smiled and took a bow. during one point in 'dirty life' alex crouched down and sang right to me :-) they were just so amazing!

after the show....me, isabel, kendra, and chris got some water from the bar. then we saw justin by the stage, so we went over to him. he's really sweet. i got his autograph on my free ima robot poster. ollie was by him, too, so i got his autograph as well. then we saw timmy, and i got his autograph (he remembered me from asking him to sign my water bottle at the white stripes show in berkeley). after that, i got the drummer's autograph (i feel bad 'cause i don't remember his name :-( ) after that...alex came out. at that point, the security guards were telling them to wrap it up, so alex had us go with him outside. i got his autograph, gave him a hug. during the show when he grabbed my hand, he accidentally grabbed two of my bracelets with him. so he gave me one of the bracelets he was wearing. i asked chris to take a picture of me and alex, so he did. i gave him one last hug, gave kendra and chris a hug, and then we left.

i had such a great time! i can't wait to see them live again. i didn't expect them to be so nice :-) oh yeah, we also got free posters and pins and stuff. good times! :-D

Oh man..The poor guys..Playing in Sacto in July??? It's going to be so nasty and hot! Maybe I'll go to give morale to the guys..:D

He remembered signing your water bottle?? How cool! It makes you feel special and appreciated when they remember stuff like that, you know? :yes:

avw86 - 3-13-2004 at 09:52 PM

yeah, he remembered!

i want to go see all of the shows that i can. man, i really need a job...all these concerts add up!

i thought it was cute that they all remembered you :-)

poobs - 3-13-2004 at 10:36 PM

How could they forget?

avw86 - 3-13-2004 at 10:43 PM

hehe

man, i love this band!

lol...curiosity is taking over me now that i know there's about 46 known song and i've probably heard only half (if that)! :o

Isabel - 3-14-2004 at 11:49 AM

Hey it's me Isabel! Hi Kendra and Chris (and I already know you Amanda)!!!!! I finally was able to log onto this board. I had such a fun time. I actually thought the crowd was very enthusiastic but not rowdy. I dunno. Alex is just a beautiful space fairy. :saint:

poobs - 3-14-2004 at 11:52 AM

Oh..Forgot to mention two little tidbits..Justin said he was getting over laringitis (spelled so damn wrong..sorry), so hopefully he didn't talk much on their day off! And Alex totally forgot the first verse of Ages Of Ruin!! He was kinda muttering until the chorus! Ha! He could have passed the mic to me! I love that song! :D

sf show pictures (kinda blurry)

theipodgod16 - 3-14-2004 at 10:14 PM

theipodgod16 - 3-14-2004 at 10:27 PM

avw86 - 3-14-2004 at 10:27 PM

theipodgod16 - 3-14-2004 at 11:21 PM

TurtleEnterprises - 3-15-2004 at 12:07 AM

avw86 - 3-15-2004 at 12:31 AM

i wonder why mine didn't work...damn imagestation...

TurtleEnterprises - 3-15-2004 at 12:47 AM

Oh cool I just noticed you lil boys back up on the forum Poobs. I sorta missed his cute pics, that dawg was kinda scaring me :yes:

TurtleEnterprises - 3-15-2004 at 12:51 AM

Now I can see the pic better, Thats a cute pic Avw86 you guys look nice, Alex looks sorta stinky though , like a big ball of sweat.. hahaha :lol:

avw86 - 3-15-2004 at 01:06 AM

haha, thanks. you can call me amanda :-)

haha...i think we were both big balls of sweat! he didn't smell or anything though. :lol:

Great Photos!

MichelleRene - 3-15-2004 at 06:59 AM

WoW! They are sooo BIG! But Poobs and I like em' big ...don't we.... :lol:

I'm so glad to see the boys picking up more and more fans, they're such a great band! Alex's shirt kinda looks like the Adam and the Ants shirt I made with the stripes....The pants he wore looked cool. Were they white bondage pants with the zippers and all? They look really good.

Have fun tonight all who go to the El Rey show!:D

draconian - 3-15-2004 at 07:27 AM

Hey peeps, I have to disable the attachments feature today because it's using up too much server space. In the future, if you have photos, send them to phobiac@imarobot.net and he'll put them up for you.

theipodgod16 - 3-15-2004 at 09:30 AM

sorry guys, that was me. Had my camera on too high resolution i guess

BTw, the pants wer'nt bondage pants, they were just like white khaki type pants that were pinned up higher around the thigh, to expose the leg around the ankle.

MichelleRene - 3-15-2004 at 09:35 AM

:wow::wow::wow::wow:

they sound groovy.....

it's not just you ipod---I've posted so many big pic's I'm suprised they haven't beat me yet... :lol:

chiefkaterina - 3-15-2004 at 10:15 AM

oh boy, i havent been to a computer all weekend so now and can finally post what i thought about the show on friday. oh wow....AMAZING. they were awesome. i had so much fun, even though my friend ditched me for a while i still had fun singing all alone.
omg, i wish you all could have seen the girls in front on me. they were the most annoying people that i have ever been next to at a concert. i thought this one girl was joking...everytime alex would sing remotely near her she would say to her 12 year old friends " oh my god, he is sooooo cute!" and both of the opening bands she would say they same thing..."oh my god they are soo cute!" blah blah. i just stared at her like she was the dumbest person on the planet. but other than that i had sooo much fun!

MichelleRene - 3-15-2004 at 10:24 AM

Aaaaw...it's cute the girls had crushes on the guys....I think you'll find them at every show. :lol:
