1. The Periodic Table of Typefaces, which was passed around on twitter a while back but I just needed to mention it here too. AWESOME.

2. Pictures of bugs that I actually like! Sleeping insects covered in dew. Weird and alien and kind of gorgeous. (via @amandapalmer -- I know, I know)

3. Abandoned places: 10 creepy, beautiful modern ruins. I LOVE these photos. I haven't looked at them all in detail yet, but I think my favorite is the last one on the list, which is the teaser image as well. So pretty and yeah, creepy. (via tumblr)

4. The first bandombigbang story has been posted, Winds Will Move Us Around by maryangel200. Lovely and quiet, and pretty angsty too. I still need to download the mixes. (And I still don't have a posting date of my own. ughhh)

5. Daily Ampersands @ tumblr, which is very super cool. I love ampersands (a lot).

6. I posted this on tumblr/twitter last night, but it's a sketch I did during the first day with a model in life drawing. And speaking of life drawing, I need to get dressed and catch a bus before I'm late, ack! /o\

ps: when a milk carton says it will be good until the 10th, it should not be disgustingly sour on the 5th. I only bought it a few days ago! >:( ruined my breakfast.

pps: finished reading Nightswimming this morning and already I want to read Unholyverse again (which I read JUST before Nightswimming). It probably comes up the most often in my list of favorite fics to reread.

Where did I leave off? OH YES. PATRICK CAME OUT AND THE SHOW REALLY STARTED.

The band played Kriespiel, and then Patrick came out and they went right into EITHER Oblivion or The Messenger (I CAN'T REMEMBERRRR >.<). I didn't record either of these, and I only recorded snippets for several of the others, because I thought the audio capabilities on my little camera were way worse than they apparently are, and I thought the audio would blow out, so I only recorded quieter parts of the songs.

( under here be 16 of my videos plus a few from someone else )

I don't know where these talky bits fit into the set, but he took up a fair amount of time talking, and I took a few notes on what he said.

( some of his ramblings... )

None of my pictures are very good, so I'll just give you a link to the album. But I wanted to point out these two (as always, click for full-size):

That other youtuber seems to have also attended the Vancouver concert the next night. I haven't watched any of those videos yet, but there ya go. I'd be interested to know how much the setlist changes (if at all), especially since one of the things in that Nylon zine said that in order to keep shows fun for the bands, change up the setlist every night. I don't know if Patrick does that or not.
