Scene: Neon Sullivan (Com Truise opener)

Setting: Lincoln Hall

Attendees: Various performers of Barnum & Bailey

Concert Notes: Alan Palomo has added a person or two to his Neon Indian live band since last year.  This change, in addition to the slightly less wacky nature of Era Extraña, results in a Neon Indian that hits the stage harder than before.  While I was a bit distracted by my fellow blogger Duchovny’s parkour style attempts at grinding on the handrail, I saw an act that is much more capable of rocking larger venues.  This was especially made possible by not spending half the show using his wonky magic wand instrument routine (though that is awesome).

Security Notes: While the show largely went by uneventfully, one patron managed to backflip himself over the right side railing approximately 45 seconds into the show.  He was informed this was strike one – and was later asked to drink coffee, and then water.  When said patron was observed hurricaning a Guinness, he was then shown the exit (this was akin to putting a cat in a bathtub).  A compatriot then asked to be kicked out with said original patron, and we obliged.
