[Broadway] Dying City
7 April 2007
Newhouse Theater at Lincoln Center
by: Christopher Shinn
Directed by: James Macdonald
Cast : Rebecca Brooksher , Pablo Schreiber
Sort of a ritual to watch a show on my birthday. And my birthday present was to see Ralph Fiennes in the crowed to see The Coast of Utopia, Ethan Hawke sneaked in the backstage door who looked suspicious, and Randy Harrison who was going see the same show as me.

Once I compared this film to The Conversation, it didn't come anywhere close to powerful use of sound in Coppola's film.

[Gig] Cold War Kids
9 April 2007
Bowery Ballroom
This was so humiliating, and this had nothing do to with Cold War Kids. If you happened to see me that day, I beg you don't tell...
Here the story goes...
2:09 PM, April 10
definitely top of my most embarrassing experience.
i was there for the cold war kids, end up just listening to their first song, sitting on the filthy ground outside bowery, recovering from the blackout caused by one god damn beer.
one hour ago from this scenes, i stood inside, holding half empty beer cup, happy with the finding that sounds swirling inside my beer cup and vibrating through my palm.
then it came, the post-beer headache. then i saw it coming, the blackout. i thought i could handle it, just like i handled it couple times before, just stood still, breathe, and waited for it to past. i thought i can handle it, but the next thing i knew i was sitting, no, collapsing on the ground. my eye-sight was blurry, so was my hearing. people hold me up and took me few steps forward to lean on the stage. vaguely i might say something like 'can i just stay here for a while then i'll be ok,' but vaguely someone say i need air and people held me out of the venue. the cold air actually felt refreshing, i just wanted to sit down, i knew it going to pass soon. a nice girl called jennie stayed with me for a while and gave me a hug. i assured her i was going to be ok and send her inside. i sit there, didn't know whether to go back or not, or to laugh or cry. i started to feel cold, then put on my jacket. i decided not going back inside to avoid possible recognition from the crowd, which now i could see clear. i took M103 and headed back home. nothing is more surreal than this, as now i'm writing the whole thing, with my head still feel the residue of last night's beer (theoretically it's unlikely, but i can't sever the tiredness, mentally and physically, from it), and the pain in my ass, literally.
hope writing this down can be therapeutic, since i don't want to recall it, and no one else but me will ever know this. luckily i won't go back to bowery until next month. even with this shit, it still my favorite venue in the city.

Judson Memorial Church
I just don't have the heart to write about that night. This was by far the most anticipated rock show for me. From the moment I saw the five shows being announced on Bowery's website, to the brutal on-line battle for tickets, all the emotion built up and I felt that it would be one of the most memorable day in my life. But it didn't happen. As if my heart shut down that evening, and after way too many times of repeat hearing and remembering lyrics, news song didn't strike me, and old ones didn't give me goose bumps. I still love them so much, Wake Up will still be one of my favorite songs in the world, and I won't hesitate a bit if I have one more chance to see them. Yet there was something missing.
