Orgy in Albany

Orgy # 5 March 2, 2001 – Albany, NY

After 2 classes a nap and another class, Adrienne, Danielle and I headed out to Albany for the 2nd Orgy concert in 2 nights. We were going to be late to this one too. We got to Joe’s house, picked him up and he drove to Northern Lights for the show. We got inside during Tinfed again. We got treated to some Alien Ant Farm again, this time assholes in the crowd started to mosh. Got pushed around a bit.

Then we got “treated” to Spineshank. Got pushed around a lot, ended up at the barrier. Good deal. Spineshank…blah. Totally unimpressed. Too hard, too annoying for me. Can’t even say I enjoyed one single song. But whatever, the pushing got me to the barrier so it’s all good. We were in front of Amir and Paige for this show. This show was better than Toronto. Same set list as Toronto. The setlist taped to the stage said Pantomime before Where’s Gerrold but they didn’t play it for some reason. It seemed from the show that Jay was sick. It was really hot in there, the guards went through 3 cases of water on both sides. Jay commented a few times on the heat, and how he didn’t know how we could stand it. During the interludes Jay went to the side to “rest”, cool off, wipe his face off etc. Amir came onto this speaker thing, and motioned that he was way hot and stuck his tongue out and laughed at everyone. It was cute ha ha.

During Blue Monday, the singer from Spineshank came out to sing in Ryan’s mic (oh, and Ryan took his shirt off cuz he was so hot, that was unexpected. Didn’t realize Orgy ever took their clothes off…always wearing damn long sleeves :P). Singer from Alien Ant Farm came onstage too. It was cool. No encore again after the show, we think because Jay was sick or whatever. We stuck around up front after the show to get “souvenirs” of the show. I got one of Amir’s picks. I think Danielle did too. Before the show I had seen Steph, who I’d been talking to online since I realized I had taken a picture of her at Orgy at Waterstreet 2 years ago. It turned out I was next to Tracy, who I also had talked to online, and Steph was right behind me the whole time with her other friends. I don’t think Tracy realized who I was, and although I said hi to Steph, not sure she realized either haha. Whatever. We had lost Joe during Spineshank, so we found him again and went to get food. Went to Denny’s like always. Our waiter was awesome, I commented on the different menu, and how I had stolen one from home. So he let me have it, and got me a Daytime menu. Ha ha. We headed back to Joe’s for the night to finally sleep.

Observations from the show:
– once again, can’t get over how huge Paige’s platforms are.
– Bobby’s drum solo is cool as hell.
– Ryan is ripped!
