     No prob.
     I don't think I can go :-(
     I have night-class Tues. & Thurs. evenings. I would just miss the class
this Thursday but we just started a new module that is VERY confusing (anyone
know about Oracle Administration & the Oracle Instance/physical/logical??). So
basically I'm screwed. I can't even go see my favorite artist perform for FREE.
Poor me. My conscience outweighs my desire to see Moby. Who would've thought.

Also, Thank you Jayson! I am going to do everything to get there to see Moby
on Thursday! I guess I will have to skip Orientation but my Mom will be there
anyway, so she can go by herself. I don't need it... Anyway, Thanks dude! Later.

I think ambient really would have worked in certain parts--created a deeper
poignance or somesuch.

Really I do.

I dunno.  What's up w/ this whole Fatboy Slim thing.  I mean, I thought he was
okay but then I heard him do an interview (and it's not like I try to let the
musicians personalities sway my thoughts on the music but...) and I just
thought he seemed bitchy and I don't think he sounds that great.  I haven't
heard a lot of his stuff but I think that MOBY is better anyway.  Call me a
small minded biased person but that's just what I think.  He erks me. :-)

I'm glad MOBY is getting the op though.  More power to 'em I think.  Does
anyone think that this will boost MOBY's success and make him more mainstream?
I would think that but judging the reactions I get from ppl when I talk about
MOBY, I kind of doubt it.  Whenever I say something about him to ppl, they
react w/ "who the hell is that?  I've never heard of them..."  *sigh*

I thought the part where he mentions MOBY.org was cute.  Darn, MOBY is so cute.  :-)
All and all I think it was a good interview.  But the thing that gets me about
interviews is that mostly interviewers seem annoying, full of themselves and
incompetent.  But I'm just hard to please I guess.  :-)

Subject: (mobility) Dallas Show (yee haw)

Hi Everybody,
    Sorry it took me so long to do this... but i'm finally getting around to
writing about the dallas show.  It was my first show and i've waited about 3 & 1/2
years for it.  Honestly... i would have waited 30 years.  It was incredible.  The
best concert i've ever been to, and i've been to some good ones.  Everything that
could go right for me at a show.... went right :)

First off

Brad Caviness lives about an hour from me.  I met him in my hometown then we drove
north to pick up some friends.  We get to a friends house and the two other guys
going with me have had to cancel out.  One is sick and the other has gotten a
surprise visit from his girlfriend....... Get this .. we had TWO FREE TICKETS to
give away.... sadly it took us several hours to get rid of them.  I wish i had had
some access to email and i could have posted it here... but oh well...    I ended
up giving them to a couple of other moby fans that we found friday night around 1
am.  Instead of taking josh and karl, we ended up taking Celia and Camille (Both
of whom were much cuter than josh and karl :)

I didn't sleep that night at all.  Excitement coupled with a very lumpy lazy boy
make for a bad nights sleep.  Anyway, i got up around 6 am and we left town about
8.  Got to dallas at 2 and headed straight for the Lizard Lounge.  When we got
there they were still assembling the stage.  The concert was outdoors in the
parking lot of the club.  It was hot as hell!

We soon left and got some lunch then shopped through the "Deep Ellum" district of
Dallas.  It was a VERY cool place and we met a man who custom makes hats for TLC,
Erykah Badu, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dennis Rodman to just name a few.

Around 5 pm we headed back to the Club and looked around for Moby.  We knocked on
the bus doors but they said he wasn't there (yeah right...)

We watched the roadies and some of his band do a sound check  and decided to sit
down next to the entrance of the parking lot....  The club staff came over and set
up a velvet rope right in front of us so we ended up being first in line :)
    We're talking away and suddenly i notice a little guy in the corner of my eyes
walking away from the stage.  My head swings over towards him at light speed and
sure enough... its the man!!!
    We yelled "MOBY" and waved at him and he walked over to talk to us!  Here's
where my respect for the man quadrupled.  We ask him how he's doing and he says
that he's fine and just about to head to the bus for a preshow nap.  We ask if he
would mind signing a few things first. I pulled about 7 CD liner notes out of my
pocket and say, "hmmmm which one do i want signed?"  He looks at me and says, "You
can just give them to me, i'll sign them all."  I was shocked and elated :)  He
signed all of them and one actual CD.  Brad had brought a CDR copy of his favorite
moby songs and asked moby to sign the blank cdr.  Moby looked at it rather
uncertainly and then brad explained what it was.  Moby smiled and said "cool"
    I then found the cover for End of Everything and asked him if he would mind
signing one more since that was my favorite.  He agreed saying it was his favorite
one also.  I asked him about future releases of real ambient stuff.  He didn't
mention any new work, but he said they were trying to re release End of Everything
on V2 records.
    If any of you have ever heard of a song by moby and another guy (i can't
remember his name) anyway.. the song is called Shaum Gummi (I think thats the
spelling)  Its a wonderful song which is all about marshmallows.  Its very funny.
Brad asked him why he had never released it and he said that they had just
finished making a video for it.  He also said that they were in contact with the
people working on Mike Meyers new movie which is based on the old Sprockets skit
on SNL.  (NOW IS TIME ON SPROCKETS WHERE WE DANCE!!!!! TOUCH MY MONKEY!!!!)  He
also said they were thinking about releasing a video compilation (YEAH!!!!!!!)
    We got our pictures taken with him and then let the people behind us take some
pictures with him, and he went about his way.


    Being first in line, we got front row center :)  The boom boom satellites were
great!  Funky Techno, i loved it.  The crowd didn't react much to it though.

    The set change was obnoxiously long.  However we soon learned why.  They were
broadcasting the whole thing on Dallas radio and had to wait till a certain air
time.  During the set change we met a nice man taking pics with a digital camera.
He said he worked for a promotional company that worked for V2.  He also told us
that he was best friends with Damian (do you know who this guy is damian?) The
most interesting thing he told us was that V2 was thinking about releasing a live
album which will be culled from the outdoor sets.  One was in california, one was
dallas and one might be in St. Louis (which i'm going too!)  I think its rather
strange to release a live album of a show thats mostly on DAT but hey....  thats
just me.  I'll buy it, thats for sure :)

The show had the exact same set as the austin one

My Weakness (played almost 2 or 3 minutes before the band came on)
Find My Baby
Machete
Porcelain
James Bond Theme
Go
Next Is The E
Everloving
Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad
Perfect
Ah Ah
Bring Back My Happiness
Natural Blues
Bodyrock
Honey
Feeling So Real
1000

I ended up getting a set list after the show and i think you might be interested
in a few things. (at least the die hard fans)
On machete he has "mach 2"
and for feeling so real its "feel - reel"
My Weakness and 1000 aren't even mentioned on the set list.

As for the actual performance.... incredible.  When My Weakness came on, tears
started to well up in my eyes.  It was so beautiful.  Bond as usual had the added
lyrics.  Someone mentioned something about this before which i can't remember now,
but i swear it sounded like he was singing the lyrics to a vanilla ice song.  (of
course it was pretty distorted)

The people went insane on Go  and Next Is The E.  I was really excited that the
fans new these songs.  I was afraid that the audience would be just a bunch of
people who had only heard Play.

Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad was my favorite of the evening... and most certainly
not my favorite on the album.  I've always thought it to be a depressing song.
But live... oh no... It took on a whole new life.  It was incredibly uplifting and
joyous.

at the very end.... I knew what was coming... but i was still in disbelief.  I
NEVER expected it to be that powerful.  He seems such a quiet, mild-mannered guy
in person.... But he was a brooding, focused animal on stage.  It was unreal.  The
idea of a guy standing on a keyboard while a song plays, well, it sounds pretty
silly honestly.  However, my mouth was hanging open in amazement during the whole
thing.  Theres no way to convey the feelings that flooded the crowd during this
part.  You have to see it to believe it. (however, i did get a pretty cool picture
of him on the keyboard!)

When the show was over.  I just stood there with my friends.  Camille isn't the
biggest moby fan but instantly she started saying "thank you thank you thank you"
And if you've seen the show, you can emphathize with her.

Afterwards he went behind the stage and rested for about 15 minutes.  Then he
moved over to the side of the stage and signed autographs for EVERYONE.  He didn't
leave till everyone had one.  I was amazed!  I have NEVER seen anything like that
in all my life.  He seemed really happy doing it too!  He of course was tired...
but he smiled the whol time!

IF ANY OF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO CATCH THIS SHOW.... DO IT
TRUST ME

Thanks for reading the really long post.  I hope all of you have the chance to
experience this!!!! If any of you are going to the st. louis show, email me about
meeting up.

- - Brad, it was great to meet you!  I've gotten the pictures developed and i'll get
them scanned pretty soon.  Great one of all of us with moby, and another awesome
one of him with the guitar.  Also, let me know about the guestlist for the st.
louis show.  I saw an ad in the gazette today about $60 plane tickets from LR to
STL ROUND TRIP!!!!!  call southwest

Subject: Re: (mobility) Dallas Show (yee haw)

Hmm. *I* was going to post a lengthy review of our trip to Dallas, but since
I came home with a nifty cold along with some great autographs and
memorabilia and a pair of neat new shirts (which I believe are still in the
back of Rob's car fifty miles away!!), Rob beat me to it. So I'll spare
everyone a lot of strenuous reading and simply say, "Yeah. What he said."

I'm not sure if that guy really made hats for all those rock stars, but damn
if he didn't have some cool shirts. I lost his card, or I'd be ordering one
of his catalogs when they're ready.

Moby is indeed as nice and gracious as everyone was ever made him out to be.
i've rarely seen a performer so grateful for the admiration and adoration of
his fans. He did sign my copy of "Jesus", though I didn't hear him call it
"cool." (Though I wish I had!) And I'm having the caricature he drew on the
back of my All Access Pass scanned for a wall paper on my computer.

The other guy on "Schaumgummi" is Paul Yates, one of Moby's closest friends,
an aspiring film maker (isn't he involved in some capacity with "Porno"?)
and Moby's band mate in the Pork Boys, if I remember correctly. When he told
me they had recently filmed a video for the song, and it was being
considered for "Sprockets - the Movie", I nearly did a little dance right
there on the street. Zounds, I love that tune.

The guy from LA's name was Aaron. He said he was a member of this list, he's
seen moby perform 150 times or more, and, if I remember correctly, he works
for Interweb New Media, who I think were involved in some way in KDGE's
simulcast of the show in Dallas and over the web.

I'll be looking forward to those photos, Rob. But what I REALLY want is my
"little idiot" shirt and the black vintage "cowboy" shirt I bought in Deep
Ellum back. Seriously, when can I come pick those up?
