Sound Directions

Had a day off in Minneapolis and saw that Jónsi was playing at the Pantages Theater.

So I got a ticket.

When I got in I thought about buying some sweet merch.

And found out how to ‘connect’ with other Jónsi fans [via social networking].

Also thought about gettin a lil bit tipsy 2 get my Ke$ha on.

Everybody seemed 2 b at the Jónsi show.

College bro and alternative azn.

Guy with sweet stache.

Colorful pants kid.

Mom and dad.

Also saw some alt girls, and ‘young professionals’, and 3 pregnant women, and some bros ‘pounding some beers’, and 1 3 y.o. Wonder if the 3 y.o. brought ear plugs. Wonder if she ‘pounded’ some apple juice b4 the show. Wondered who all these people were.

Wondered if a historic theater is an ‘alternative venue’.

Death Vessel opened by playing guitar and singing soprano for 30 mins.
There was an ‘intermission’.
People went to the bathroom.
Bros ‘pounded’ some more beers.
Most people drank more wine.
I ate 2 cookies.
The lights flickered and people went back to their seats.
Jónsi ‘rocked the house’ for 60 mins. The stage set looked amazing. Every1 in the band played lots of instruments, like vibraphones, and glockenspiels, and harmoniums, and pianos, and celestas, and guitars, and illuminated electronic pads with lots of buttons, and hella percussion. There were some ‘killer’ projections.
Every1 screamed and gave Jónsi a standing o.

Jónsi played 2 encores with a headdress on.

Every1 screamed and gave Jónsi a standing o.
Wonder if there r any lessons that ‘indie / alt-classicists’ can learn from awesome Jónsi shows.
