Anyone in Seattle going to Anamanaguchi next Thursday?

[J T]

If so, come say "hi"!

I'll be the guy who looks like this while he's dancing:

*hear the new album*
*buy tickets here*

[Luke]

You lucky braggart.

What's the venue?

[J T]

Not trying to brag necessarily, just trying to get the Seattle-area racketboy peoples to come out of their hidey holes.

The venue is Chop Suey, which is a small-to-medium sized bar with a dancefloor that traditionally brings in a lot of cutting edge electronic acts.

Here's a pic of the inside:

Stark? MrPopo? Metal Jesus? Mobiusclimber? Kelsoanim?

Are you guys in?

Did I miss anybody?

[MrPopo]

Nahh, I've actually got something else going that night. This summer Riot Games is helping us put on a Microsoft Rumble tournament for everyone who plays League of Legends at MS, and that Thursday is a big mixer which includes several people from Riot.

Only typed "braggart" because I'm Diablo Cody Jell-o.

Venue looks awesome, and I'm sure it will we wall to wall fun.

What's an Anamanaguchi?

Ah, nm I see the link.

[J T]

Show starts in 30 minutes. I'm heading out there now.

[J T]

The show was incredible! And holy smokes was it ever PACKED! I've never seen so many people inside Chop Suey at once. There was so much happy hyper energy there.

Here's some photos.

This is the line to get in, and at this point in time, I'm halfway through, so imagine more than double the people you see here.


Here's the view from inside the venue, once you get in.


Here are some various pics of Anamanaguchi rocking out





I also want to say that the opening act, Electric Children, is really impressive. He is a Seattle local chiptune artist. You can hear his music here:

[Luke]

That's a whole lot of white people.

Sounds like you enjoyed the show and if Ana ever comes near my parts I'm there.

Since there aren't any lyrics to sing along with, how do they manage hyping the crowd and crowd participation?
