ING & MATTY GET GOLDFRAPP'D!!!! ...AND MORE!

Yes, I wore my new Goldfrapp US Tour T-shirt to work today! I was the envy of all! ...and, we had a patient who called and canceled his appointment for his deep cleaning because he had been out partying too hard at the Goldfrapp show! Ing and I were a bit more reserved. We opted for high class and gloss vs. low and dirty on the dance floor in front of the stage. Well, I was near death's door just a few days ago so I felt I better take it easy. Ing was a doll about it. The Fillmore is so cool and a great place to see a show live. We both took turns running down the stage floor. ...where we each jumped up and down and waved to each other (we were in one of those cool orchestra boxes over the stage) --- Ing looked so fucking hot in her French cut jeans and hot pink glitter disco Goldfrapp horse tshirt. I was wearing a cool shirt I had purchased for the event. I like my Goldfrapp t-shirt, but the ones for the ladies were cooler. I was going to get one, but Ing felt that they were just too femme for me. Oh well.

Ing chatted up an old hippie guarding the access to the back stage area -- which was dangerously close to us!! And, the kind-a cute British roadies kept coming up from the stage and out to the room where we were seated. Ing tried to convince me to offer up blow jobs to the two sorta cute roadies so that we could get back stage passes and bond with Allison and her band, but I'm not that kind of boy. I asked Ing if she would be willing to do the hippie who was guarding the door and reading a Louie Lamour (sp??) but she said that this was my job not hers. sigh. Anyway, I don't do that sort of thing. Besides, 39 is far too old to slip into the life of a Goldfrapp groupie. Oh, and Ing is the first person to explain why we call them "blow jobs" and not "suck jobs" because one does not really blow. (I hope you all know that) ...Anyway, as Ing explains it -- one is giving pleasure so that the recipient can blow his load. Hence, blow job. Wow! Never knew that. I didn't ask her about that "salad" thing. Maybe next time as I don't get that expression either. However, I do know how and have been "caked" But, that is a whole other blog.

However, I did have to go to the restroom. The Fillmore is really cool, but the men's room is really just a big piss trough. I had to stand next to this boy (maybe 24-ish) --- as I was relieving myself he was making it very clear that he was watching me do my business. I finally looked over at him as I was starting to find it hard to take a wee. He then told me that he liked my dick. I slipped into a frail voice and said, "Uh, thanks." ...then I zipped up and he followed me over to the sink. I was washing my hands. He was leaning against the wall behind me holding his cocktail and said something that I shall not repeat. I ran away. Ing told me I should be flattered. Ok.

The concert was amazing! Goldfrapp took the stage at about 9:20pm and their performance was flawless. They were able to recreate the exact same sound as their recorded work which is really quite rare and they were performing. No lip-syncing crap here! Her voice is amazing. I was particularly impressed with her vocal work on "Lovely Head" which blew me away. I loved that electronic gadget that distorted her yodeling. Neat-O.

Allison Goldfrapp looked amazing in her form-fitted black jumpsuit --- with the highest spike heels I think I've ever seen! She is gorgeous! However, based on what I've seen, heard and read --- they really toned down their show for the US. No costume changes, dancing or much glitz. However, her two Go-Go dancers were awesome!!!! I loved all of their scary animal head masks they wore as they danced perversely to all the great music. My fave dancer costume was for Ride The White Horse where they had these enormous disco ball-like horse heads -- and they pranced about Allison as she sang her heart out.

It was a sold out show! And everyone seemed to know the words to all the songs. Ms. Goldfrapp seemed to be wanting to do one of her more ambient trip hop shows, but she would start to lose the audience (including Ing) when she sang some of their earlier/slower stuff. The San Francisco crowd wanted electric boom and bounce. ...and they got it! Excellent and wondrous experience!! And, check out the way-cool poster that they gave us!!!!

The Fillmore was filled with way cool posters from all these years of performing. I mean, everyone from Janis to Blondie has been on that stage --- and every poster from every performance was represented. It was most neat! As we were leaving we saw this one incredible and original/vintage Fillmore poster of The Who when they were there in the 60's to perform TOMMY. We both thought of Gina and wished that she had been there to share in Goldfrapp with us. Ing shared some way cool concert story adventures she had shared with Gina. I had to pull Ing down by force as she was trying to pry The Who poster off the sacred walls of the Fillmore. I was so worried she was going to get arrested.

Gina -- you are much loved!

Oh, and do you guys like my swank new messenger bag??!?!?! Please say you do! I lost my receipt so I'm stuck with it!!! I like it.

I just told Alan all about how cool the show was and now I feel guilty. He is now wishing he had met us and scored a ticket from a scalper. Oh well.

Tomorrow, I am meeting with this incredible man I've met for dinner!!! I'm excited, can't wait to see him but I'm also nervous. Nervous in a really cool, good way. I feel self-conscious and goofy around him. Sigh.

Ok. No spell check or review. I'm just posting cuz I'm kind of tired. Goldrapp can do that to you.
