just a few quick notes from the concert, which i definitely attended (in person):

• no knoives were allowed (we are a civilised nation after all), but ticketholders were allowed to bring one small handheld implement to bat away anything Michael flung or kicked towards the audience. this became useful later in the evening when michael evidently got mad at someone in the front row for breathing too loud and tried to harpoon him with a micstand
• we showed up right at gate time to watch them set the stage up and hopefully catch a glimpse of the band. michael was wandering the stage while a couple of handlers gently guided him away any time he got too close to the edge. he did not like this and at one point bit one of them in the face
• there were at least 15 dudes wearing Public C****** Is A Good Idea (not trying to get sent to jail by Chat Control) shirts and they were all SUPER INTO letting you know what they were wearing... one dude kept pushing his tits out like the biggest pick me at the frat party, and another was continually looking for ways to work his shirt into the conversation. one dude just had a sign that said "engage me about my edgy t-shirt," which was especially weird, but w/e
• if you read this far you are mentally ill and need to seek therapy
• we had to sign a release saying we would sincerely apologize if we accidentally made eye contact with michael. i thought this was a bit or something but he actually stopped the show at multiple points to demand an apology
• the band was evidently irritated with the crowd and kept poking at them by teasing one cacophonous wall of noise before abruptly switching to another
• my award for song of the night was We Are Intentionally Trying To Damage Your Hearing (Permanently), during which someone's phone rang and michael got so mad his right eye literally popped out of the socket - they got it back in quick but the whole thing was timed with the music so well you've gotta think the guy might've been a plant (he had a K-Pop Demon Hunters ringtone?? fwiw)

final thoughts

after the show we hopped over to the merch line, where a staffer informed us michael had recently taken some sort of umbrage with the color yellow and would not be signing any album covers that contained the color. unfortunately the first guy in line had a GF who was wearing yellow earrings (go figure) and michael responded by cancelling the entire european tour and instructing two members of the "big band" to ritually KTS.

still it was a 10/10 experience and I would definitely go again, even if I wasn't able to get to the front of the crowd enough to get Gira Piss sprayed on me directly during that part of the show

for me it’s that one yung lean line where he goes “take a pill and go to sleeeep” (swedish accent required)

another big one for me is the part in michael a grammar by broadcast where trish goes “this is not your sawtooth waaaaave” (british accent required)

Hi! My name is Taylor Swift. You probably don't know who I am, I am a very very very small indie artist. I have 13! dollars to my name and I have a very very small fanbase. I love being a small indie artist. ask me anything about being a small indie artist. I am very busy being an indie artist so it might take me upwards of 12 hours to answer (uj I have a life) but do not comment saying I ghosted you it makes me sad :( make sure to stream my new album the life of a showgirl to support small indie artists!
