unguarded future
Aug. 22nd, 2015 03:20 pmThe problem is I'm so overwhelmed with emotion right now.
I think her name was Claire, because her friend who may have been named René but probably isn't said "shut up, Claire" but he might be referencing something, and it might be something more common but I hope her name is Claire because the series of titles makes even more sense.
Her friend, who could be named René but I very much doubt that, asked if she'd go blind from looking at a lunar eclipse and I asked her if she went blind.
Imagine if that's the last thing you see, she said.
Her hair was so black it looked green. She was born under the sign of the Corrupt, her friend with the hat who wanted to make seaglass with a bottle even though it takes a hundred years according to her was of the sign of the Whisperer, and her friend who told her to shut up was of the sign of the Condemner.
birdsrightsactivist offers these horoscopes for each of them.
Prancer: you will meet a beutiful stranger. it a bird. give him bread.
Saggletartisus: How many breadcrumb you drop on the ground will be a sign of how many childrens you will have. raise those childrens to put breadcrumbs on the ground.
Pieses: bread give it to me the pleanets compel you.
Whilst searching for the elusive schedule, I met a woman at the volunteer tent who was an artist who drew in an anime-manga style and had one train portrait because it's pretty awkward when you're just starting out. The portrait was of someone wearing a backpack drawn from behind.
Gretch is a band with a keyboardist/vocalist/acoustic guitarist, a cellist named Julian who just joined the band and is the worst person to ask about finding their stuff online, a tablaist, an electric guitarist, a bassist, a drummer.
It was their first concert outside their school.
And they were awesome. They did one song with a guest vocalist, one song called Demons, one song about breaking up called Silent Tears, which is on youtube and the place to start if you want to learn more about the band. It's the only song they have online as far as I can tell, but when they release more stuff, you will probably be able to find it in those same places, or maybe they'll get a bandcamp or something. It's nothing like the rest of the stuff they played and I don't know if all that distortion was deliberate or due to the setting.
Oh, here's the one song they have online.
That's why I didn't post at 11 PM last night. I was trying to find their stuff. Well, that and I'm overwhelmed with emotion.
I missed the title of the other songs they played because I was talking to a woman with an owl tattoo.
Foreign Hues - I think this was the mostly Hispano-Caribbean but occasionally Peruvian dance troupe.
Elisabeth Lopez, and when she said "it's with an S," I thought that meant she was from a Lusophone country and her name was Elizabeth Lopes, but that's wrong, had a surprisingly deep voice for a 17 year old. A few of her songs were originals, most of them are covers. The original songs were called Monsters and The Dark Side.
She actually played last year.
A kid was trying to guide a robot through a moonscape and have it pick up a flag and someone said "robots are hard: NASA can barely do it and we're teenagers" and someone else had the suggestion to have anyone who takes the flag to a certain spot get a cheap toy like a beanie baby or something and he's like "beanie babies aren't cheap."
One of the guys at the Lego table liked my shirt even if it did dredge up painful memories of E&M.
vundabar - these guys sound familiar, and oh yeah, they have a bandcamp, they describe themselves as sludgy jangly pop. Someone told them to play Freebird and one of the members said that joke killed 20 penguins and those jokes are really destroying the planet.
Holly and/or Lindsey had short hair and a tattoo of leaves on her arm, and was here at Greenfest and here in Boston on a business trip, that is, promoting an app that tells you when you're near local businesses. Also, a woman had three matryoshka dolls tattooed on her arm, one with a sun, one with three stars, one with a crescent moon, all with red tulips.
Grey Season - they're kind of like As The Sparrow, except I like As The Sparrow more, and it's just guitars, drums, and a mandolin.
Jill Stein spoke during a downpour. Other than that, the weather was more nice than shitty.
Harmonius Wall - They're a folk band from Wisconsin and they did not vote for Scott Walker and they sing about food.
Sing For Nepal - So I was talking to Astha, who is herself Nepali, and I thought it was spelled Asta and she did too briefly because Nepali doesn't use Latin. The other members were Tina and Adrian. Astha just ran out of space on her camera so I'll have to send the drawing to her once the sun comes out.
In the audience was a man with a triceratops and lion tattoo.
Smoov Impact was an acoustic blue collar rap group from Baltimore that rapped about living check to check. They have a song called We Do It Better, and that's not bragging, it's just confidence.
Mamadou - these guys sound familiar. Whatever they were, they're bluesy and they sing in English (about being yourself), Spanish, and something that I thought was Zulu but realized they don't have enough clicks to be isiZulu. Wikipedia tells me Mamadou is from Senegal.
Johara - I remember this. They're a bellydance ensemble.
Anyways, I know the sky was really threatening but it was a rather pretty purple-gray.
I'm not actually sure which group was Wordsmith, or if they even played, because the schedule got somewhat screwed up. For what it's worth, Amy and the Engine played on time, which was good, but the concert didn't get started until 1 PM.
phunk phenomenon - The guy leading several dance ensembles was a human beatbox.
Amy and the Engine - they're really good folk-pop-rock and their last song (I think it was called Living In My Head) was quite excellent. For the record, Amy wasn't the keyboardist like I thought, she was the lead vocalist, tambourinist, and occasional acoustic guitarist.
I didn't stay for hipshot. I wanted to get home before 11 PM.
Of course, I got to the red line platform just as the Braintree train was leaving so I had to wait 15 minutes.
Some guy laughed like he was planning world domination or something.
burning question: Well? If you look at the moon, do you go blind? If so, are you some kind of reverse werewolf?
