WHY YES, I DID IN FACT MEET NIVEK OGRE LAST NIGHT.

got to limelight around 6:15 and ran into gundam with his friends matt and alan; after a brief sojourn at mcdonald’s and a slightly lengthier one at starbucks, we headed back and got in line. took fucking forever to get inside. this one random girl liked my neubauten shirt, so we traded bracelets.

eventually we got inside and drank and danced and talked to people through the nuns and hate dept, because they suck. sarah and dave and ceejay and a bunch of other people were there. i started getting sleepy just before hate dept finished, but i popped some penguin mints and all was well.

the sound for the first song or two of ohGr’s set was suck, but then some crew folk fucked with it and all was well. the crowd was really rough, and i have a lovely black eye to show for being in the pit, but it was entirely too cool nonetheless.

after the encore i went upstairs to look for gundam, who it turned out had already left, and ran into the girl who had traded bracelets with me earlier. we ended up sneaking up to the backstage door and eventually talking our way inside, where we met nivek himself. cEvin was there too but we didn’t talk to him. we had some beers, got some autographs, hung around for maybe half an hour or forty five minutes, then i headed home. w00t w00t.
