On Wednesday night, Roger and I went to the Lady Gaga concert. We got to the city in the afternoon, had lunch at Market City, and then wandered to the Sydney Entertainment Centre to see if anyone had started lining up yet. They had. Mind you, this was at around 4pm and the concert wasn't supposed to start until 7:30. -_-
So....we lined up too. =D It's actually a pretty good thing we did, because we ended up being in like, the second row from the barrier. Yay! I reckon we could've had a barrier spot if the organisation wasn't so horrid. The dude was like 'line up' and we had. and we were all nice and organised. and then BAM! 'oh hay, I'm like, gunna open the door now, so...screw the nice neat lines you've made and all barge to the door. kthxbai'. Fail.
Speaking of fail...The opening act was SO BAD! Omg I wanted to rip my ears off. And, and, the lead singer guy changed his pants....ON STAGE. Although I suppose that isn't so bad since it didn't even look like he was wearing pants to begin with. But really, it was worth missing. And a lot of the people who had bought seated tickets actually didn't turn up until 9pm. Smart, smart people. They must've read online reviews...
See...it looks like he's not wearing pants!

That's how empty it was. -_-
After the opening act finished, (they only played for half an hour, thankfully) we actually had to wait about an hour for lady gaga to come on. They were playing MJ songs while we were waiting, and after every song finished people would cheer because they thought she was finally going to come on. Thinking back, it's pretty funny. But being there, not so much. Especially after our ears had been destroyed by Semi Precious Weapons, which is the opening act I was referring to.
But, when she finally came on, it was all worth it. She is seriously amazing live, and I'm so happy I got to go to the concert. =D I took heaps of pictures too. I got some pretty good ones since we were pretty close and all. You'll get to see some of her crazy costumes. =P I had a 'costume' change of my own actually. I plonked on some heels for the concert. Because, you know, I'm a shrimp. And that was all well and good UNTIL MY TOES BECAME NUMB. omg, the levels of pain were epic. and everytime I moved my feet it was like death. So Roger had to hold onto me while I pried my shoes off and put my flats on. All while standing up mind you. Do you know how hard that is?! Anywho, it gives me a new appreciation for platform shoes, because these were just ordinary heels, and my toes will probably never forgive me.
Anyway, photo time!
Her man posse was pretty funny. At one point they were only wearing underwear and thrusting at us. LOL.
Her crazy gandalf stick.
During the song 'speechless' I think. The piano was on fire as well, but I couldn't get a good pic of it. It was pretty awesome because she stopped singing at one point and the crowd sang. Love it when that happens. =D
EPIC-est costume EVER. It was moving and everything!
The awesome fish krakken thing. XD
Finito. =D
And just in case you were wondering, yes, there were some people who dressed crazy. =P What with the cans in their hair, danger tape wrapped around them, a dude dressed like a unicorn, and a girl wearing a leotard.
Also, I have done nothing uni related so far in my break.
Crapola.
