saturday, marquee

we got to the marquee just as Stars were starting their set (so we missed Wintersleep, what a shame, really). fashionably late is still in, right? ;) really enjoyed Stars. the Marquee was packed with people who looked like they had lost their way trying to find the Liquordome, so we were constantly moving out of the way and having to take up less space. the male singer from Stars was presented with a heart-shaped potato by someone from the crowd - he said he would make a "pipe" out of it. with the exception of a few redeeming songs, i don't see what all the fuss is about with Broken Social Scene (songs featuring five guitars?). the songs with female vocals and horns were more interesting. excuse the quality of the pictures, we couldn't get close enough to the stage. the pictures of BSS were taken from the smoking room, we were joined at our table by a guy and a girl who were much more into the band than we were. the guy thought it would be cool to light his cigarette from the candle on the table (delicious wax vapours) and proceeded to coat the cigarette with wax, making a tobacco candle of his own (funny!). when we went back out onto the floor, a bouncer was carrying/dragging out a girl who was too drunk to stand, fortunately there was no vomiting in our vicinity...
