Girl Talk @ Terminal 5

So, I've been listening to Greg Gillis' music, better known as Girl Talk for about a year and a half now. Just yesterday, I got the chance to see his work live at Terminal 5, and let me tell you, it was off the hook. Some things I noticed:

-How come when anything is thrown from a stage, now matter what it is, everyone (myself included) feels the urge to go after it like it's the fucking golden ticket. For instance, they attached toilet paper to the end of a leaf blower, and everyone needed the toilet paper. Fake money: needed it, glowsticks: needed it, giant blow-up random shape: needed it. That's just our culture, I guess, anything you can get for free, just go for it. I myself left there with a balloon and two glowsticks...worth it.

-Moshing is the dumbest fucking thing. The reason why it happens: alcohol plus the pathetic guys attempting to hook up with girls in a space of 1,000 people where maybe at most 250 should be. More than that though, I'm a pretty lanky kid at 6'4" and 185 pounds, so if I'm in the middle of a "mosh", there's a decent chance I break in half. Not to mention, I lose everyone I'm with who can move under the crowd. People just grab onto my shoulder to leverage themselves forward. What I'm trying to say is, if you're built like me, tight crowds aren't for you because although you can see over everyone, which is nice, you're going nowhere in that crowd.

-Even with my physical limitations, I made it to the 3rd or so row of people, making me about 10 feet away from Girl Talk himself, which was amazing; he goes apeshit when he's up there, and that's what I like to see. By the way, they so illegally packed that place, that I think the reason they let 100 people on stage during the show is so people don't die of suffocation, that and because Greg Gillis is the man.

- The end of the show was ridiculous with the different songs he mixed; I forget exactly what it was, but I do remember going apeshit crazy. Anyway, after the show, me and my friends met Greg for like a minute, but more importantly, I got a picture with him, and I shook his hand. All in all, I'd say it was a great night.
