Did they play anything new?

hello - 8-21-2004 at 09:46 PM

I saw them too Turtle! They put on an amazing performance I was dancing and singing along, I think I saw you there! :lol:

Happy Birthday

happysmilely - 8-21-2004 at 11:09 PM

No new songs.
The set was like Warped sets, but had Ages of Ruin in it.

It was a super show.
I'll explain it more when I'm not tired.
I also will have photos later.
anyone see the Unicorns. super stuff.
how about scotts new light blue drums, with the duck tape Ima Symbol on it. really as always I could go on and on, but need sleep. So many things went on... Tell you more later!

MichelleRene - 8-22-2004 at 04:59 AM

Ahhh that sucks about your window Turtle...damn haters!

Phobiac - 8-22-2004 at 07:35 AM

Sunset Junction was a pretty sweet show. Unfortunately, nothing new was played but they did sneek in Ages of Ruin, STD Dance.

It's been awhile since I've seen Ima Robot and I was amazed that Timmy the Terrors hair is almost as big as JMJ's!

Sweet crowd that was really down for Ima. So many people that I spoke to were there soley for Ima and this was not just around the Bates stage; everywhere...they really had a pull.

Other than that Sunset Junction was a fun time. If you haven't eaten at Stella Cafe you have to check it you out; really good and nice atmosphere; a little spendy. After that it was to some crazy party action at El Cid. What a cool bar El Cid's is.

Awesome night.

happysmilely - 8-22-2004 at 01:34 PM

Here you go, more details from Autumn (now fully rested)…..

Well I got there about 3:30 (ran very late this time)
Went straight to the Bates stage where IMa would play.
Saw a bit of “starlite desperations” set. Then when the crowd moved out we went and got our spots. Front and almost center (if it wasn’t for the media guy right next to me)
On came “On the Speakers” put on a decent show, but my opinion might have been slightly altered by the fact I was going to see Ima Robot soon.
Then on came “The Unicorns”, who I also like a BUNCH.
As I waited for the unicorns to come on I had to sit in annoyance as I saw Alex and his girlfriend, Justin, every member from Hot Hot Heat (who weren’t there to play but I saw them all over later), the Unicorns and so on pas by walking in the crowd , unnoticed. But no I had to keep my oh so super spot so I stayed.
They put on a good show, crowd was ok for it but not much. Funny slogans as always. A few super rock star moves and a good show.
Then we waited for “Har Mar Superstar” the funny little man.
Steve from HHH would sit on the side stage to watch them play. As did Justin for a while. Scott setting up in back as they played.
Har Mar put on his show. He jumped into the crowd a few times, each time I was slimed by the film of sweat he had, leaving my hand smelling funny for quite some time.
And so on….

THEN the wait for IMa, Scott comes on and sets up as always. But he had some nice new light blue drums with a very well done Ima Symbol on it, which he made out of black duck tape. Oli then joins him and so on.
Then the crazy lady who had been announcing the bands all day comes out. Crowd freak out, enters Ima Robot. Looking very happy.
Leaving details out, it was a super show. Set list regular tracks, STD dance, ages …
Put on a good show. Tons of fans there. Alex eating lemons, licking amps, gracefully sliding off the stage front… the usual greatness. The boys being the boys and putting on a super show…. I had a blast…
Justin introduced songs as the trucker hat song, another as the thrift store shirt song.
Calling the show there romantic homecoming after a long tour… and so on.
Regular greatness.
I do believe Alex might have to retire his black pants with the IMA ROBOT on the back. They were looking quite torn up….
I got photos and so on… will post them up as soon as I can. (Whenever that might be)
After they were done I went side stage to chat with the boys. Got to say hi to all But Alex this time. Very super as always and such other stuff, very nice compliments by all…
After waiting forever for Ben Kweller (who was right by me as I chatting to Justin) to set up, who complained of how nothing was working right… I watched him play about ˝ his set and left for the over 2 hour drive home.

Geeze sorry all long review but I left out tons of stuff so It could have been worse, haha.

happysmilely - 8-22-2004 at 01:39 PM

OMG I wrote a bit much... I'm sorry...
Man and I thought I was being discreet :lol:
well I was but still :lol: :lol: :lol:

EvilMotivator - 8-22-2004 at 08:19 PM

Well, Happysmilely pretty much said it all, so.... yeah. I did get to meet Alex's girlfriend. She was quite nice. I also had the very good fortune of talking to all the members. Such nice guys. Apparently, I made Justin's week... or so he told me. He really liked my shirt. Um... yeah. That's it. Oh, and I remember seeing a whole bunch of those people on polaroidscene.com. There were a couple of crazy mother fuckers there...

RiffRaff - 8-22-2004 at 08:37 PM

Couldn't find parking, said "fuck it".

EvilMotivator - 8-22-2004 at 08:48 PM

This is the back of my shirt that Justin liked. The scribley lines you're seeing are their signatures.

MichelleRene - 8-23-2004 at 06:04 AM

nice shirt........and you got them to sign it...that's great!:D

happysmilely - 8-23-2004 at 06:29 AM

I so saw you Evil and your gang of gals. I knew who you were but didn't want to bother you. Did you see Me. black hat, radiohead shirt, white over shirt...
I normaly make shirts and so on. Was lazy this time. Alex GF is super, so Are the rest of there GF. Great gals really!
I payed 10$ to get parking :lol:

TurtleEnterprises - 8-23-2004 at 08:08 AM

some guy offered us his car port but i didn't trust it, prolly wasnt even his house.

batcave_baby - 8-23-2004 at 08:19 AM

Ohh, I had a fantastic time, too, despite the relatively short set. I took position right after the Unicorns finished their set. I was able to get front row, but was definitley right of center (which is damn scary, politacally speaking). When the security guard noticed that my son could hardly see over the barrier, he let him sit in front in the little press run area. He (Sebastian) was happy that they played STD Dance because he's got the clapping down pat. He was also looking forward to Black Jettas because he loves that song, and I had told him about Alex's usual antics during it. I was glad to hear Ages of Ruin since the last time I heard that live was at the El Rey show.

Sebastian wanted to meet the band, particularly Justin and Alex, and get their signatures on his shirt, so we waited around a bit. I got a couple of pictures of him with Justin, who was just as incredibly kind and gracious with Sebastian as he is with an adult. Of course Alex took longer to venture out, but I'm glad we waited because I always like when he recognizes me and hugs me. Aww. I'm like a perverted old man. Anyway, Alex was surprised when I told him Sebastian was mine, but he too was so nice to him, and talked to him like an adult, but one he just had to bend way down to talk to. So I got a cute picture of me, Alex, and Sebastian that turned out well. (Evilmotivator, was that you I asked to take the picture of us?)

Anyway, it took us forever to get out the gates because people kept asking me if they could take a picture of Sebastian. I guess he's used to it by now, he's like a semi-professional "poser". :lol:

happysmilely - 8-23-2004 at 08:30 AM

BATCAVE! I saw you... when you were getting a photo with Justin and your son. I was the girl that was talking to Justin right before you :D coolness. Your son had the pink IMA shirt right :)

MichelleRene - 8-23-2004 at 08:57 AM

Batcave you should post your photo......another young Ima fan (Sebastion) , that's awesome.....:yes:

batcave_baby - 8-23-2004 at 09:04 AM

If I can locate a scanner today I'll work, I'll post the pictures. I'm not positive if we even have one anymore, so I may have to wait. Somehad had recommended a site to use for hosting pictures for free, so that I can link to it and post the pictures on the board. Does anyone remember? Isn't that the only way to get pictures to appear on this board?

Hap-smi, Why didn't I recognize you, didn't I meet you at the San Diego show?!

MichelleRene - 8-23-2004 at 10:05 AM

I use Photobucket.com...it's free and I got the info from Poobsy....try that.

I figured that would be a problem. I was going to go, but I got kind of comfy @ a BBQ in Venice Beach.

MichelleRene - 8-23-2004 at 10:19 AM

:o:o:o and missed the Bot? Bad boy Neuwave....:lol:

MichelleRene - 8-23-2004 at 10:19 AM

let me guess....was there a hot girl involved?

JunoRedneck - 8-23-2004 at 03:29 PM

Ya, the show was awesome. I saw happysmilely, but I got afraid to say hello. I didn't think you'd want me to. So don't think I was purposely ignoring you to be a bitch or anything. I guess I also saw Batcave, but I didn't know it was you until just now. That was EvilMotivator who took your picture. Alex's girlfriend was super nice. I probably talked to her the most. She had trouble saying my name, but once she learned it she said it a lot. She pronounced as "Keen-doll". My name's Kendall, by the way. We also took a crapload of pictures, and I guess we'll TRY to post them. We aren't very good with those kinda things. I would write more, but I just got back from my first day of school and am about to pass out. I'm not used to getting up so early. I shall ramble on more about this later, so be ready for that.

quite a few actually.:D

EvilMotivator - 8-23-2004 at 06:30 PM

Yeah, I took that picture of you, your son, and Alex, Batcave. And I also saw you, Happy, but I too was afraid to say hello. I'm quite shy. Oh man, I turned so many people in my family into Ima Robot fans. And their friends. Yessssssssss. I turned in my cameras today so hopefully I'll get the pictures back tomorrow or the next day and be able to post 'em up. I think I got some good ones.

happysmilely - 8-23-2004 at 09:15 PM

batcave_baby - 8-25-2004 at 07:49 AM



Sebastian, Justin, and Me.

batcave_baby - 8-25-2004 at 07:53 AM







Disclaimer: I did not buy Sebastian that butt-ugly Von Dutch wristband. I claim no responsibility for it's presence. :lol:

batcave_baby - 8-25-2004 at 08:02 AM

TurtleEnterprises - 8-25-2004 at 08:05 AM

Your son is so cute! What happened to your pink hair? Sweet Pics :yes:

batcave_baby - 8-25-2004 at 08:13 AM

Pink hair is now orange. I get bored and have to change it every couple months.

MichelleRene - 8-25-2004 at 08:47 AM

Neuwave - 8-25-2004 at 09:37 AM

Dang those are cool pics. I must not visit here for a while due to regret of not going. :(

EvilMotivator - 8-25-2004 at 11:31 AM

Those are awesome pictures. I love the big one of Justin and your son.

draconian - 8-25-2004 at 12:36 PM

JunoRedneck - 8-26-2004 at 06:19 AM

EW!! Evil, you posted pictures of me?!? That's disgusting.
You should take them down... pronto!
But I think it's funny how happy the rest of our group was in those pictures. Especially Blake.

I like your quote thingy. It makes me laugh. Especially since Mike wasn't even in the bathroom and we confused the hell out of Rick. Funny stuff.

happysmilely - 8-27-2004 at 11:55 AM

OH NICE PHOTOS! can I have the first one of Alex jumping into the crowd.
That was when he was jumping right at me so I couldn't get a good photo or it. (plus i was like YEAH I get to pet Alex)
see the green watch? that was my sisters hand. I was right next to her.

I'll post them up....

That's not disgusting! It's true and noticeable! :yes: Weenis weenis weenis weenis ...:cool:

JunoRedneck - 8-28-2004 at 07:40 PM

Oh, I was joking. Because I had that picture of Alex's crotch as my avatar. But now it makes no sense because I changed my avatar. And it IS very noticeable. It's the first thing everyone says when they see that picture. It makes me laugh.

FlowerDancerL - 9-29-2004 at 10:27 PM

Does he shave? Those trousers were way low!! Good shot, Evil!

7cut - 9-30-2004 at 01:31 AM

weenis is a bad word.
the Sterling Johnson book of effective swearing taught me to say

cod, johnson, love Luger, one-eyed monster, pecker, peter, putz, rod, schlong, schmuck, skin flute or trouser trout instead.

Hey Turtle - where in LA are U? We're in Westwood

7cut - 10-1-2004 at 01:46 AM

dick or cock is too rude.
johannes is so great, it was used in "The Big Lebowski". penises are overrated.
