Feb. 4th, 2007 10:19 amFriday night I went with
ladyoceanstar and
athanasios to see The Cruxshadows perform at Outland in Columbus.

This was my second time seeing Cruxshadows in concert. I'd been looking forward to this show for weeks, so the fact that I had to be at work at 8:30am the next day was not deterring me from going ^_^
The show was delayed in starting, but the house music they were playing was pretty good, so I got my dance on. Toby and Dave and I staked out our spot sort-of-front center and stayed there all night.
The first band was Ego Likeness. I saw them open for Cruxshadows in October 2005, and they were pretty much the same. Eh. All right. Not who we were there to see. ^_^
The second band was Ayria. I knew nothing about them, but I knew that
violetsrblack and Dave were both REALLY excited about them. Jennifer is HAWT! And the music was great; they were very energetic and got the crowd moving. I bought one of their CDs after the show.
Ohh...we stood and danced for so long before Cruxshadows came on! We arrived a little before 9pm, because the flier said the concert started promptly at 9pm. The first band didn't go on until more like 10pm, and Cruxshadows didn't go on until after midnight.
They were fantastic! Apparently they played a few songs from their new album; I didn't recognize them. They also played a bunch of my favorites.
We also had THE BEST spot, because Rogue came out into the audience several times and each time he came and stood right in front of us. During one song he held my hand and sang right to me. *swoon* During another song he carried a bar stool into the middle of the crowd and climbed on it, again, right in front of us. Awesomesauce ^_^
At the end they invited Ego Likeness and Aryia back on stage for "Marilyn, My Bitterness," and I knew at the end he'd be pulling people up on stage. I wanted in on that! So Rogue pulled me up on stage, but I slipped and fell and had to climb up. *face red* I'm so smoooooooooooth. There were about 20 people crowded on stage moshing and singing together, and it was just a terrific energy. After the song Rogue hugged me!
It was a fabulous night, but I didn't end up getting home and into bed until 4am. And then up again 8am for work. Ugh.
