Ke$ha Get $leazy tour

Pics from kiss951.radio.com

August 10, 2011. So.. the Ke$ha concert was SO RIDICULOUS! Now, I enjoy Kesha's music, and I love a high-energy concert, so my friends and I had a fantastic time. But let me just say that I have never been around so many middle and high schoolers oozing glitter and colored hair-spray out of their skin in one place at one time. Pretty sure the only older people there were the 15 other people drinking at the Fillmore bar. Oh, and the parents. If I have a dollar for every time a parent left during the show... I would have a lot of dollars. I frequently heard things like "This is not age appropriate, we're leaving." - mother to glitter monster. Quotes of this sort were most frequently overheard about halfway through the show way after Ke$ha's suggestive dance moves, suggestive lyrics, suggestive tour title, suggestive dance beats, and suggestive crab walk. I mean really... if parents are chaperoning, you may as well let the kids enjoy all of it, or just turn on the radio to hear what these songs are saying and not buy tickets! By this time she's already spent about an hour singing and talking about handjobs, blowjobs, and getting wasted. She was literally saying "handjob" over and over. And she wasn't the only one - LMFAO started the show off by asking the audience "Who's getting a blowjob tonight?!" and proceeded to one of their hits titled "Shots." To an audience of 95% underage kids. Yup.

Maroon 5 @ Verizon Wireless Ampitheater

August 2, 2011. This show was SO packed that even on the lawn there was not much space to lay around. But who wants to lay around when THIS SEXYNESS, Adam Levine, is right in front of you moving like Jagger? The Verizon Amphitheater that night was a great atmosphere for this show. Train was the opener, and that was pretty good too from what I saw of their ending set. Anyway,  don't have much else to report other than this was a fun, energetic concert from all aspects, and that Adam Levine is a sexy beast.

League Of Legends Costume Prep for DragonCon

Well I just wanted to write an update about our preparations for DragonCon this year. Since we get most of our traffic from League Of Legends searches I'm going to milk it for the hits.

Last year, my friends and I went as characters from the online MMO League Of Legends and we are planning on doing it again this year. You can see my posts on last year's DragonCon here and here. We were champions [lady] Ryze (myself, and yes, I switched his gender up obviously), Ezreal, Garen, and Singed. We definitely got recognized by some fans and players, and with its increased popularity this past year I am expecting a whole lot more of that! Again, we are going to be a group of 4 and be short one champion. This year we're dressing up as different champions, and we're putting a whole lot more work into creating our costumes. I'm doing a lot of the costumes myself, and am showing progress but I still have SO much more to get done! My costume requires dyeing some fur and it's just not working out.

T- 17 days; LET'S GO!

Would anyone like to guess what champions our costumes & props belong to?

Had to scrap these due to my inability to sow fur

Loredana Agurida

Romanian star Loredana celebrated her 25th year of her singing career by putting on a fantastic concert at an outdoor theater in Herastrau Park.

I'm not completely familiar with the range of her musical style spanning over 25 years, but I do know that she incorporates every bit of culture that can be encountered in Romania. In the Ceausescu era she was known for a very traditional song style, afterwards around the 80's she got a little more into pop, sprinkled in there she had some gypsy inspired styles, and throughout this decade she has even released some CD's in English.

It was truly a concert festival. She is known for her concerts which range from traditional dances and songs featuring dance and song troupes, as well as having other famous musicians. I really did not know what to expect, because the show was only advertised as "Loredana and friends" so it was a big surprise for everyone when Smiley, Directia 5, Caddy (BUG Mafia), Jay Ko, Osoianu sisters, Cristi Iacob, and the Agurida band became a part of the show. My favorite was probably Smiley. There are a lot of female singers that like to think of themselves as "divas", but Loredana is probably the single greatest Romanian diva ever. Her stage presence is strong and confident, and she somehow represents many different facets of the culture just by being.

Watch the videos (after the cut) to get an idea of what a Romanian concert with various cultural influences looks like!
