looks like sparkly saw some hints, but i haven't read the toronto thread, maybe that's why i didn't see any. talking about gig threads, i haven't even read the LA thread yet, although normally i try to read at least the threads of the gigs i went to... - i'm so behind!
and yeah, i remember your reaction in oakland. and although i had no idea about the planet story, i also felt it wasn't right to throw the stage deko in the crowd... so maybe i was wondering a bit about you looking so extremely upset about it, but generally i understood your reaction. well, i THOUGHT i did, it never would've occurred to me that you have some sort of "personal relationship" with those planets!
and about the painting balls joke, i understand that you feel uncomfortable about it... but if ppl say "can i paint your balls?" it actually just involves the info he gave himself in that interview, and no one would know that it came up as a joke from what you guys said. ok they wrote "assemble" in the article, but anyone can see that there's glow in the dark paint on the planets. btw, i didn't tweet anything like that to him - BUT i must admit that i found it quite funny.
btw, that having no money thing came from the original article really - it was them who suggested that it was due to the recession hitting the music industry hard... it's just emphasized a lot more if you put it as a headline, but you can't really blame the other websites for interpreting it that way from the original text... :rolls_eyes:
