featherynscaleSaturday night, I went out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
niveus_tigris, erusumbros and Nephew Jake to see Nine Inch Nails up at Kemper Arena. I really don't have the sort of words that would be necessary to describe how wildly good the show was. I think the closest I can get to an accurate description was "best sex I ever had with my clothes on". Before this, I was concerned that people in Kansas City didn't know how to have a show. Every show I've been to so far since moving here has been the sort of experience where people either sat and listened politely or stood around and looked like they were too cool to be there, according to whether or not there were seats. No dancing, no yelling, no throwing things, no energy. Now I'm thinking that maybe I was just going to shows in the wrong venues, because this, this was much better. Thousands of people standing, dancing, screaming, gesticulating violently, generally getting involved and throwing around some serious kind of angry/horny/intense energetic stuff. The whole experience, from an interchange of energy standpoint, was a little like a three-hour grudge fuck, and kids, that is good.
The company, too, was fiercely awesome. These boys do, in fact, know how to have a good time, and I must hang out with them more. At one point, it came to pass that Nephew Jake was imploring us not to say the name of everyone's favorite red-bearded trickster, and me andniveus_tigris and erusumbros just kind of look at each other, and we're like, "The three of us are together. He's already here."
Apparently also, there was some backstory with Nephew Jake, in whichniveus_tigris and chaosdruid had been telling him that he ought to look out for me, because I'd break him. Now, note that Nephew Jake is in no real danger from me, as he is not on the List, and is in fact, both too young and not single, either of which by themselves would preclude him from even applying for List status, so this is all hypothetical stuff. But he, having not met me, was holding down the opinion that he could take me. At some point early in the show experience, though, he turns to me and goes, "You know, just being around you, I can tell. You would break me. You would rip me apart, and I would so, so love it." **grin**
Sadly, I didn't get to wear the gear thatniveus_tigris made for me -- I had a suspicion that they wouldn't let me in with it on, and lo, when we got there, a sign did indeed proclaim that there would be neither spikes nor long chains allowed inside. So that was sort of a bummer, especially since I was looking forward to wearing it over to starwyse's after. Ah well. Can't have everything, I suppose.
