So many nerds. No cosplay hawtties (yet). A few bad cross dressers.

Already interviews the light saber group & a knife maker. Waiting for the martial arts dude - a swordplay recreationist, the type the maestro & I disdain.

Came a little too early because my parking will cost a lot if I stay past 4 hours. Might leave & comeback.]]> It’s at the Marriott on Great America parkway near the stadium called Levi’s again, so there’s a big fifa standee.

It's all about Miao Xie now...
It's kinda ridiculous, an overdone Chinese cop actioner with lots of absurd firefights, like full on battlefield shootouts in the streets. But Xie delivers a solid fight with several one-er shots at the end. It's interesting to see how his fighting style has developed. He was really working towards something like The Furious choreographically, for a while now. He's only got one note as an actor, and it's not far from his child acting face, sort of a look of wonder and dismay. But we're not there to see him act. We're there to see him fight.

This seems to be the film in its entirety, except that the musical parts are cut a bit...I would have guess that this was to avoid YouTube's copyright bots, but songs are mostly intact, long enough that Inwould guess they would still trigger copyright take-downs, and annoying enough to make the music bits less enjoyable.

I knew that the Bonzo Dog band played Death Cab for Cutie in this (giving a later band its name), but I did not know that the suitor of Ringo's aunt was named Buster Bloodvessel (singer for Bad Manners). I'd never seen the Blue Jay Way bit...that had some cool ideas.

I know the whole thing was a mishmash. Paul said let's go film stuff and capture what happens and unfortunately nothing did. Editing this into something cohesive must have been a bear. 

I can now check that off my list.

I like the guild. It's intimate, but fancy...we got there early enough that we could grab a spot right by the stage. Ran in to a couple people I knew and chatted...people watched a bit. 

Right about 8pm, Monkey came out. It was their 30 anniversary. They were tight and lots of fun. Great vocal harmonies, rudimentary choreography, dynamics. Good stuff. Mosh pit started about the 3rd or 4th song in, but didn't last. About that time, an Ed Bagley Jr look-alike in a sharp suit came down to the dance floor, stood right next to me and stated doing the best/most amazing ska dancing. Fully committed. The guy was awesome. He danced for 2 or 3 songs straight, then left. Later, I figured out that he was the DJ that was camped out in the balcony before and between sets. Monkey played for about 30-40min. 

Let's Go Bowling came on after a short intermission. It's their 40th anniversary. They are a bigger band, adding keyboards, second guitar, and trombone. They seemed to have a bigger fan base present. They were ok, but less energy than Monkey, and they had a really long set, almost 2 hours. They covered Shame & Scandal by Madness which was pretty good. They have a great bass player. He sounded great and was just in the groove all night. He was a very large man, bald, in all black, sitting on a stool in the back, next to the drummer, but almost off stage. Occasionally, a stage light would land on him from above and it struck me that he looked like Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now.  

Fun, unexpected night out. There aren't any sad ska songs.
