Pics from the concert Tuesday via Mr Man Kamerafone de la Krapee. (BTW: If you search flicker dor Duran or Duranduran you will find much better picture sof the tour.)

I had this whole big thing written up and MT/firefox ate it - damn it! So this will be shorter.

Good show, a little short since they had to be done by 11pm due to the show being in the middle of a nieghboorhood. They didn’t do a lot of the best graphics from the earlier part of the tour, the anime cartoon that was funny, or anything, mostly just astmospheric psychedelic stuff.

What was the most interesting as it turned out, was the band of barefooted teenage girls with backstage passes.

Who where they? Duran Duran’s kids. God I never felt so old. They were entertaining though becasue they sent most of the evening about 30 feet away from me. At one point a older staffer of thiers lead over two older teenage boys from the audience and introductions made.

I saw the security chic who was only 10 foot away watching as well and I caught her attention and she confirmed they were the kids of the band and that “we were told they can basically do whatever they want”. I asked who the boys were she said they’d seen them in the audience and had thier aunt or something bring them over to meet them.

Man, do they learn from their parents at an early age or what? Not sure who was who exactly but comapring notes with some of the DD fanclub members on the club forums reveal one was either John’s step daughter (he’s married now to the co-founder of Juicy Couture) or The youngest of Simon’s three daughters.

BTW I think that fact that most of the band had daughters is a terribly ironic case of karma.

Aside from that a drunken bint named Terri got pulled on stage to JUST introduce Simon at the end, since he had introduced everyone else) and she introduced the band, then Simon and then took the mic and ran around stage groping and introducing the others one by one as she screamed a slurred introduction of each into the mic.

Simon was most amused for a few moments then finally went over and retrieved her from the rest of the band and said “Okay Terri, go back to where you came from!”

Last I heard she was a former schoolteacher and current stay at home mom from Dayton. The local radio station was trying to find her for an interview. If she remebered anything on Wednesday I’ll be shocked, she was plastered.

If anyone knows her let me know, I’d love to post an interview here as well.
