Just an FYI for anyone thinking about buying tickets to the show... although the ticket price is nominally $25, you can expect to pay another $11.50 in processing fees (or more, if you choose to print your ticket rather than picking it up as will-call).
Is it worth $36.50 to watch a sweaty man drunkenly trigger Ableton Live events on a laptop? Well, that's for you to decide.

It's sold out so it probably would cost even more than that now. I have a lot of friends that are very excited about the show. I'm interested to see if it's worth the hype.

I had a roommate in the early-90s who said in the future some guy would just walk out on stage, stand in front of a massive pre-programmed synthesizer, hit one key and dance all night. He said it would be immensely popular. He was right, but, you don't need the synth. The show I saw was bizarre in that it followed Yo La Tengo. Not much of a show. A couple of people shot toilet paper into the crowd and there were some lights dancing around an over-enthusiastic dj. A good portion of the crowd were very excited. The rest of us hung out and watched for about 20 minutes.

Yeah, sounds about right lol. It was high energy if you get into a show like that. I like his music but I didn't really gain anything out of it from seeing it live. I do wonder if it would have been at the arstist formally known at BoMA, the Mansion or a venue like that if it would have been any different.
On a side note, It might have been the worst shooting conditions I've ever been a part of at any level of band/DJ photography.

Yeah, there seems to be a bit of "it's cool to not like this guy" going around now that he is popular. Whatever, if you don't like him, just don't like him and get on with your life.

He said he was there to see Yo La Tengo which doesn't exactly mix with Girl Talk's vibe. I have no idea who set up that booking, but it's strange to say the least.

photo credz?
someone needs to explain to me how watching the lid of this dude's laptop constitutes a fantastic live experience. I mean, does he even need to be there to push 'go'? could he not just stay home and stream this show from his 'puter to PA at the newport?

50D bodies, L glass. The height of the table he was playing on and the lack(to say the least) of front lighting was making it hard to even see him at times. Matt and I did enjoy being the two tallest down there lol

We went to see Yo La Tengo. They are always worth seeing. I talked my friends into hanging out for a bit to watch Girl Talk. It was kind of a long switchover to bring out a laptop. For being a dance party, the stage doesn't really work. It seems like the party is in the audience anyway. There's not much to watch in terms of a show.
I don't know that I know music fans who decide it's cool not to like artists. I think they genuinely hear and see stuff they don't like and gravitate toward what pleases them regardless of who is popular.

Wait, what? Ah hell, you mean I missed them again?

Yes, I saw them a while back (the 90s?) at Little Brothers. I sat next to Ira at the bar sipping a beer for about 10 minutes before realizing who it was.
He was as nice as I expected him to be.
They also played "Speeding Motorcycle" which was nice too.
