Ugh! I can't even tell you, man. Most of the crowd there was so very not, well, I don't want to sound elitist, but may I say "evolved"? (And I mean that strictly in a spiritual/mental way, obviously.) I would have loved to see Beetroots too, and they didn't get to go on either, if memory serves. (And I barely missed my beloved Crystal Castles, as I think they were playing as I waited in those obscene lines to get in.)
The crowd seemed so cool at the Fox. I watched the stream, too, and I thought the cast was brilliantly done! "Beautiful Burnout", in particular, annihilated my face.
I really, truly love OWB. Best UW album title ever, too. Musically, it's not my very fave, however, as there's no way I could ever choose between ST, BF & DN. While on the topic, though, would anyone besides myself have preferred that the original title for BF stuck ("Tonight, Matthew, I'm Going To Be Underworld")?

Hah! Yes, I'm afraid many Surfer terms aren't terribly imaginative, but I suppose they do the job. Cross the pond, my fave UK slang so far has to be "cocker spaniel", as it can mean "one's lifetime", right?

Right, thank you for that. All I care about is being in the front, up against the railing. I'm not sure how early I'll have to get there for that, but I'm thinking it could be early as 4p..
But what about this meetup? I'm especially interested in meeting anyone from outside the States. Ran into a really lovely guy from Wales, I think, at the Forum "show". (He even looked like Rick, so the whole night I was just kind of fascinated by the resemblance.)
Oh, and does anyone know if Yannick and/or King of Snake are still around? I think Yannick is Canadian, and KoS Dutch, perhaps? And particularly Scott Warner, obviously. Didn't he say he was going to the San Diego show? I've never actually met Scott..
