Fan Review: ShyViolet

OH MY GOD the show was fucking awesome. I got to meet rekloos which was very cool.

I loved uncle fucker, the band that went before Courtney. They were amazing and I’m definitely gonna see them again. But anyway..

Courtney has an all girl band now, and Sam was the drummer! Emilie Autumn was there on violin and backup vocals, she had a bassist and two guitarists. One guitarist was this tiny little girl and she was so cute.

It was such a small intimate place, probably holds no more than 300 people. I was right up front next to the stage. Courtney was SOOOO close to me. I touched her like 100 times. She kept crowdsurfing and I got to hold hands with her for like a full minute when she crowdsurfed.

Courtney was having trouble playing guitar. She would grab her guitar at the beginning of a song, and then change her mind and throw it to the side after like 10 seconds and just sing. She did that for like every song. She called the guitar “her necklace”. She kept saying something like “oh I should put on my necklace now” i guess to make a joke about the guitar being a fashion accessory.

Something really wierd happened. Courtney had on this skirt that was sort of falling off. This zipper on the side had come unzipped. I reached up and went to zip it up for her (i was like 1 foot away from her for the whole concert) and then she just decided to pull the skirt off. It fell to the floor and she walked away. I grabbed it before anyone else could and stuffed it in my jacket. I honestly thought she didnt care, you know how she always gives stuff away at concerts, like guitars, etc?? So I was like wow, I got courtney’s skirt! Then I realized she had on nothing from the waist down but underwear and pantyhose. She didn’t make an attempt to get her skirt back, she just walked off the stage because it was after the last song and the show was over. I turned to my friend and was like “i got courtney’s skirt!!!” Then like a minute later Courtney’s guitarist came back onto the stage and was frantically looking everywhere for something. I had a feeling it was the skirt. I asked her what she was looking for and she said “courtney’s shirt!” I said to my friend next to me “Oh shit, what should I do?? I feel so bad!” So then after like 2 minutes I went over to Courtney’s guitarist and gave her the skirt back. I didn’t wanna be like one of those people in moshpits who rips her clothes off and leaves her naked. So I didn’t keep it.

Oh and I caused something else bad to happen too! I grabbed Courtney’s hand another time during the show while she was on stage, and then I accidentally made the bassist’s microphone stand fall over and a bottle of booze fell over and spilled! Then some roadie guy ran up and picked it up.
