What was the crowd at the show like?

Late reply, but everyone around me was enthusiastic and friendly. Most people knew all of the crowd participation segments for each song, so I'd assume they mostly drew the hardcore fans who have been waiting to see them for years & years. There were even a few fans who went through everybody in line to give some free stuff away. I got a lyric sheet for Dream Land, a flier for some anime that has Hurly Burly in it, and a Nocchi trading card. Aside from that, there were lots of Japanese people at the show (including a few cosplayers who probably froze to death in their dresses) and the crowd seemed pretty evenly split between men and women.

There were a few people recording some clips of the show on their phone, but at least they weren't annoying about it. Seems like that only happened during their American shows too, lol.

Pokemon day at the Puppy household!

Ever since the announcement of a new game comes out my kids save up their allowance and report card money and get it the day it comes out. So great to see them get so excited and enjoy the game like I did when I was kid (though for me it was zelda)

I get to develop my own service offering line at my company. Do everything from the marketing to pricing and all that.
Might not be too exciting but it's something new for me. I've consulted for people doing that but never actually been in charge of the whole thing. So that'll be nice, something new for a bit, maybe keep some people employed.

Flames of Paris was awesome.

I got there early and was able to sit in on a Q&A with the ballet master. He was pretty much a stereotypical defector.

Despite what he may think, seeing a political ballet is awesome because of the politics, not in spite of them.

The dancer who played Marie Antoinette was named Zvezdana which I found mildly amusing.

Uhhhhhh *thinks* it was kind of weird seeing "Liberte, egalite, fraternite" written in Russian. (I suppose it was weirder that I knew what the signs said in the first place, but

I learned about this yesterday but I guess it counts. I went to a conference in October and had to give a presentation (I made a thread on public speaking about it) and I thought I bombed but it was in the top 5 highest rated presentations of the conference (there were about 90 presentations over the 3 days). So that felt good.
