girl talk.

i feel as though this month i have seen/witnessed two historic moments.

1.) barack obama becoming president.

2.) seeing girl talk. live.

obviously, i am going to express my feelings on the second historic moment. because really, that is how i am currently rolling.

girl talk was introduced to me by g & co early this summer / late spring. as soon as i heard girl talk was performing, tickets were purchased. in a large amount. sadly, a few days before the show, my most excited friend was rushed to ER, and had to (literally) sit out girl talk. so g and i were left. alone. we sold some tickets, got a party group - and made our way to the low 50's to experience a really sweaty hipster-style dance party. it was insane. terminal 5 favors as one of my favourite venues, because of the three floors and numerous locations to sit, dance, drink, etc. 
we began on level 3, which is where we saw mika - but i may add, girl talk was (strangely enough) an all ages show (which in my opinion is SUCH a bad idea). this being said, level three was packed with underage high school'ers making out in the booths. vomit-icious. we decided then, at that moment, to experience girl talk, head on, and moved to level 1 - the dance pit. girl talk himself has expressed in many interviews that full on debauchery occurs at his shows. he has said that he has lost teeth - and has to keep his dj-supplies covered in plastic wrap so no "liquids" get put on them. here i am, a polite, warm hearted girl with her gay best friends who are defined as "twinks" in the middle of a dance pit with people on god knows what over the counter pills. insanity. that is what it was. 
i will end this 'historic moment review' by saying -- we lost george within the first ten minutes of the show (he was found at the end, soaking wet from sweat), alex had a shoe thrown at him (this is a very true statement) and my favourite plaid shirt kept unbuttoning, from the amount of people rubbing against me - thus taking off buttons (this is meant very NON-sexually). it was a brilliant show, however. we do not know how long girl talk expects to be around, so i am so grateful i was able to see him live in new york, for what could have been his last shows. 

ps: dont know who girl talk is? well friends... do not log onto girltalk.com. trust me.


just watch this:

(ps: this was my view the entire show, except i was the third row of people squashed. amazing).
