A Warning: Danger! Diary

10:04 Warning: Danger! have spent at least 15 minutes bedecking the stage with caution tape and warning signs. Are also wearing reflective vests. Are going to have to be a pretty damned good band to not be drowned by all this gimmickry.

10:21 First song has just ended. Only words I understood were “fuck you over” and “go home with a guy from a bar.”

10:22 “Oh no? Where do I go? AVALAAAAANCHE!” Am actually amused, and in a good, not-at-the-band’s-expense way. Oh, and the lead singer has put on snow goggles. And a toque.

10:24 So all of the songs really ARE about danger. Okay. At least it fits with the decor.

10:28 “Spelunking is a dangerous sport!” Everybody sing along!

10:32 The band is having a hell of a time, which is big points in their favor. Even better, the audience is having a hell of a time, too.

10:34 A message to Mayor Nickels: “Stop the condos!” The crowd agrees. I agree.

10:37 Yeah, this is fun.

10:41 Last song is called “Stop, Drop, and Roll.” Please light something on fire! Please light something on fire!

10:42 No fire, but there is a Stop Drop and Roll dance. Awesome.

10:44 I can’t bloody help singing along. “Stop! Drop! And roooooolllllll!”
