Ladytron (and I'm not talking about myself)

A couple weeks ago my brother won a pair of tickets from KCRW to see Ladytron at the Fonda in Hollywood (just wanted to let you experience how annoying it is when people get carried away with hyperlinks or make the word 'here' the link instead of being a little more creative). Ha ha... my boyfriend loves it when I get super angry at such things like hyperlink etiquette or Pearl Jam posers. OK, enough of the side notes, this post is about how to stand at a concert. I've been to a few concerts to develop what I call the Gabstance. It's a pretty sweet stance where other fellow concert goers can't really crowd you in or have their soft, sweaty arms touching your tanned, muscular arms. What you need to do is basically keep your feet shoulder-length apart, put hands in front pockets and stick elbows out. If the crowd pushes forward, stick your butt out, it works every time. If you happen to be standing next to a drunken Latina, sharpen your elbows and keep those arms firm. She will then realize that she's only hurting herself as she would if she were dancing 2 inches away from a real 5'3 statue.

Anyway, the experience was quite colorful, not as much as the crowd though. We saw three bands: Modwheelmood (which I liked the best), Datarock (eh), and Ladytron (which I enjoyed but probably won't get into).

Time for a quiz.

Click on the hyperlink which is used correctly:

a.) Buy a t-shirt here.
b.) Modwheelmood put on a pretty good show last night.

P.S. I know, this post was mostly about hyperlinks and the Gabstance. I love the title so I refuse to change it.

You reminded me of The Tron Guy, who is one of my favorite internet sensations of all time.
