100 guitars recap

Walt Disney Concert Hall + $10 tickets = good time. In terms of well known folk, Page Hamilton and Mike Watt were on stage. The drummer, mentioned in the previous post, was amazing. He just drilled it and then drilled it some more. One of my friends who was with me got a bit annoyed at the rate of attack that everyone seemed to be going at, but I figure there were at least 2 parts per section and a lot of different sections.

You could usually hear each individual section if you listened hard enough, but I had a hard time hearing some of the people, like one guy was playing something along the lines of an Epiphone Emperor, which would feedback like crazy if he didn’t have it turned way down. There was no feedback at all. The March section was amazing with these great drumrolls at the end, then the Drive section oh man… The 3rd movement was nice and fast, almost surf speed sixteenths. I was standing up by the 4th movement, pre standing O. Since we were in the last row of the balcony, it wasn’t an issue for the non-existent people behind me.

It was longer than I was thinking it would be, but according to this it was changed from the first time it was performed. I was really happy, my cohorts were pretty pleased as well.

D.G. a man who needs a food blog saw his hero J.G. and was merry. Even though they had met previously, D.G. saw no reason to say hi or anything.

Afterwards we went to Daikokuya for ramen, I had this ramen thing that’s like all separate (to prevent needless noodle squishiness) called t——-n no idea how it’s spelled. I went into the little Tokyo American Apparel and snagged a light mint green pocket T because I was excited that they had T-shirts with pockets now. They also have cute teenage clerks, which uhh… makes me realize how old I am.

  1. I feel the need to defend my non talking to JG. He was in the middle of talking to a bunch of people and based on my first meeting with him, he seems a social recluse who is uncomfortable in crowds. And more importantly, unlike our dear friend Rich, I am not a star-fucker :) :)
    The show was very cool though.

    BTW, it’s Page Hamilton (Helmet). So, I’m a nitpicky dork….

  2. Hey watch yer language. Yeah Uh Paige Hamilton shows up in google. I didn’t check that hard though, cause it turns out Paige Hamilton is an adult film star… whoops. I’ll edit the original post.
