There was some VERY ENTHUSIASTIC GUY running across the beach, repeating "Oh my god! STORMTROOPERS! Oh my god!!!!!" and trying to get his girlfriend to pose for a pic. Quote of the day - "if you really love me, you'll take a picture with the Stormtroopers!"
There is something very endearing about the stormtroopers on the cold gray beach. I always felt they got a raw deal about the whole thing anyway; getting killed by the thousands and bet the pay was rubbish.
Mmmm Ryan. I do so approved of the crazy make-up period. Why won't you paint birds on your face no more Ryan Ross? :(
Plus, I can't imagine those plastic suits are comfortable for combat situations? At least they now get a holiday!
Ryan Rossy, OMG THE BIRDS. Was there ever anything so lovely? The entire 60's mod thing amuses me, and I love his soft curls and actual occasional SMILE that he's been bringing out of late, but I do sort of look forward to his inevitable discovery of ACTUAL PUNK MUSIC. I want his to get into the Sex Pistols or something, and then explain to reporters that he used to think he knew punk music- he listened to Fall Out Boy! - but he had NO IDEA.
(The Ryan Ross guided tour of popular music of the modern era. Where do I sign up?)
Oh Ryan. I can't help but coo at him. He thinks he's so edgy and cool, but he often really has no idea. Remember when he discovered The Beatles? That was darling.
...also yeah, Sex Pistols. Although if he starts wearing chains and leather vests I will probably rupture something laughing. ...also, think, a nose ring! *dies a little*
Well, it IS Oregon. We see to gather the outgoing, nerdy, and underemployed. I wouldn't be surprised to find a half dozen or so groups of Stormtroopers wandering the woods, drinking coffee and dressing their children or dogs as Ewoks.
DUDE, PIC. And a good deal of squinting leads me to believe the caption reads "Bassist BRENT WILSON explains to guitarist Ryan Ross that the anal probe segment is coming next"
Which, IDEK WHERE TO START, but I may begin by mocking the Brent thing?
*scurries off to comm for request*
Seriously - they DID THAT ON STAGE AND WE ARE JUST FINDING THIS OUT NOW?!?!?!? Way to skip the interesting details, Jon/Ryan information sources!
We seem to gather the random like rainwater and caffeine.
My favorite MAX incident had my wife and I on the train, heading downtown for a Jason Mraz show. About halfway there, a younger hippie guy gets on the train. He's wearing a large pack, carrying a assortment of percussion instruments, and has, strapped to his back, a 5-foot CRUCIFIX with arms so wide he can't get down the isles. And my wife turns to me, all wide eyes, and whispers "Did you see that he had a RAIN STICK!" (my wife, terrified of hippies in drum circles for reasons I still do not understand! She was so focused on RAIN STICK that she didn't notice the GIANT CRUCIFIX!)
Though the MAX logo/ icon thing always makes me think "Metropolitan Area eXpress, why so MIKEYWAY?" and then giggle:
