mind has officially exploded

Last night was my first evening experiencing the Hollywood Bowl and it blew my mind. Or rather, two guys from Norway officially blew my mind.

To top off the weekend full of adventures (beach camping, sand driving, wine-tasting, small town hopping, breakfast smacking, fireworks exploding) I took Patrick to see BossaCucaNova at the Hollywood Bowl. Also on the venue were Basement Jaxx and Royksopp, who I've never heard. The night was perfect, warm with a breeze. Light snacks and wine, good seats, great sound. Royksopp blew my mind. Masters of electronica they played a mobius strip of sound the entire time they were on stage. The bowl lights were synchronized to further the sound strands visually. There are no words to explain the energy pulsing through my body via 3 bones in my head. I saw it move through the crowd and could not stand still.

Basement Jaxx arrived onstage with their high energy funk dance music. I don't really consider myself a huge Basement Jaxx fan, but I guess I am. Their show was amazing. The music was great. The entire bowl was dancing, the women were singing and looking great in their tall boots. The music pulsed through my body, linear thoughts no longer were found in my brain. I was completely ensnared in the music. Synapses firing. I didn't want it to end.

What a night. The creme top on a triple espresso weekend!

(note to self: the interesting thoughts found in my head these days.)
