Worrying I'll be sent to jail for being a poser
So I'm attending a show at the famed Toad's Place in New Haven tonight with my friend Danielle. We're seeing one of Danielle's most favorite-est musicians, Amanda Palmer, one half of the punk cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls. Amanda Palmer's released a solo album and she's currently on tour for the album.
I was really confused figuring out how to dress for the show. I'm not familiar with the kind of audience that Amanda and The Dresden Dolls draw so I wanted to be able to fit in per say, without having to look like I'm blatantly out of place. Because I belong! I'm a fan! I just don't know who her other fans are and I don't want to show up looking like an asian schoolgirl walking into an American prison... for lack of a better example...
I'm hoping that the outfit I'm wearing won't make me a poser by high school standards, but more fitting into the setting of a bar scene, I guess. I'm not one to chase all of the latest trends except that my style combines elements of different styles and eras and locations and I try to make it look fabulous. So I'm crossing my fingers that I look semi-decent or else Amanda Palmer will punch me in the head and Danielle will pretend she doesn't know me.
I'll take pictures! I know how to use my camera phone now!
