smashing pumpkins en costa rica

contentera. ja.
vi a los pumpkins. hice horrible. la goce, grite, no llore por que que pola verdad? pero estuvo genial. aqui va mi breve critica que puse en un forillo, esta en ingles, pero no se enojen. y si les interesa mucho y no saben ingles, di no se, salados.

the day was quite hot, and beers were pretty cheap. soon the beers ran out, but everyone was still happy. by sunset, some mexican bands played, and then at about 9:30ish incubus started. it was nice, brandon boyd took off his shirt, complimented the beer, the surfing and the costa rican weather. and he took off his shirt. then they were done and there was a huge wait. i moved forward and was right in front of the stage.

it was getting quite late, the festival was meant to end by midnight, it was 11:15 and the pumpkins werent out yet. then bam, the first chords of today started and billy came out, he pretended he was going to sing but then didnt. i suppose he got a hard on when he saw all of us beautiful costa ricans know how his song goes.

i was right in front of mr. jeff and he was wearing a red tux. jimmy was playing quite nicely too. and for a moment i thought i saw gingers nipples, but that mustve been my imagination. billy was wearing a saturn shirt and the lovely metalic square skirt thing. he looked quite pleased with it, like he like to twirl around and stuff. he looked like he was having fun you know?

people only seemed to yell for him, and that mustve pissed the rest of the band off cause theyd go in and out..then he played stand inside your love, then tonight tonight, and also a couple of songs i didnt really know.

then i realized, wait, i do know this song..and i caught myself mouthing the words:
im miss american dream since i was 17...dont matter if i step out on the scene or sneak to the phillipines...they still put pictures of my derriere in the magazines...YOU WANNA PIECE OF ME? YOU WANNA PIECE OF ME?..
he laughed. and kept on singing it. people looked puzzled..i wanna piece of him..hell yeah..

then he went on..playing more songs people didnt really know..then he played ava adore really fast. then he played superchrist..got a tambourine thing going, jumped around..then stopped. when over to lisa harrington..banged the keyboards and laughed..then he seemed to tell her something rude..and then laughed and then went like..oh yeah wait, well talk about this later, 30.000 people are watching..and went on with the tambourine thing.

then he kicked everyone out. and got an acoustic guitar and played 1979. only like 5 people knew the words, but damn did we yelled them. it was hot..then he sang a couple more songs..

then he said, well this is my band, and god created light and that is you. and i am god and i say rock on..im paraphrasing but thats basicly what he said.
and then he sang more..and twirled more. and then the band fucked off and then they all went away.

and people were saying, come out you pussies! weve been here all day listening to stupid bands waiting for you, otra otra! and then they came out again. and played cherub rock which culminated in a sort of collective orgasm. then he came over to the very edge of the stage, and said he loved us. he said, sorry it took so long to get here. sorry it took 20 fucking years to get to this amazing moment. i love you, and you and you and you and you and you..thank you, good night. and then he blew kisses and hugs and stuff, he actually winked at me, but i guess everyone says that, right?

it seemed to me like they didnt want to leave. there was a lot of love in this concert. it seemed like they were making them go away, it was already 1:30 am..but they wouldnt..and billy waved and winked and smiled and giggled and yes, he kept twirling with joy.

it was worth the wait.

the newspapers said he went around town on friday, and noone recognized him. he went to a concert of the art festival, went for coffee and to the museum and had a nice day with noone bothering him and no need for security. so i guess he did like costa ricans.

sadly theres no pics, but oh well, youve all seen his face i guess. and mine...it looks like this :DDDDDDD
