DIE ANTWOORD

Chael bought me tickets to see Die Antwoord in Dallas last week. It was great.

I was second person in so I got center-stage, right up against the bar. Thankfully, the bar was padded there. It was in the House of Blues.

They played for about 45-60 minutes? And it was great.

Yo-Landi is a VERY TINY PERSON. Seriously. As in so small it's distracting at first.

Their delivery was great, good crowd connection, lots of energy.

Had two very cool moments:

At one point Yo-Landi was standing towards the front of the stage staring out with a very serious, stern look on her face while her eyes passed over the crowd... And for a moment we looked directly at each other. I was grinning at her and for a split second she started to crack a smile, then quickly looked away and put back into place her I'm Very Serious face.

At the end Ninja did his 3rd or 4th stage-dive. This time directly into my arms. For a moment I had my arms around Ninja's rib cage before we all started pushing and lifting him up and towards the stage.

It was a scream-along, jump up and down, dance your ass off sort of show. Again, I thank HoB for the padding on the rail as I was Repeatedly. Slammed. Against. It. LOL.

I came out with my clothing literally drenched in sweat... As in you could've wrung out my shirt and pants. I'm not sure how much of it was mine.

I got beat so hard by other people during it that I couldn't return to the gym for 4 days after it as it hurt bad just to stand up... My whole torso set of muscles would hurt from trying to balance me after the beating I got at show. No bruises, though, surprisingly.

It was a really great time!
