Freak, reminds me of a horrid "Trekkie" incident.. (Score:2, Funny)
Reminds me of an anecdote from the documentary "Trekkies." I'm no fan of that show, but the complete lack of critical thinking/perspective/coolness of those fans always amazes me. Anyway, a few years back that guy who plays "Q" appeared at a Trekkie convention. He had an extreme flu, and could barely make it through his 20-minute stage presentation. He sipped a glass of water, then left it on stage. As a joke, the convention presenter said that "we're now bidding - one time only! - on a glass of water drunk by "Q"! The bidding starts at $50!". Most of the crowd got the joke, but one harmless maniac in the crowd raised his hand, and won the bid. He walked on stage and put the glass to his mouth. The appalled presenter said - "No wait! You really don't want to do this... John De Lancie is very very sick, he could barely make it here, bad move man." The crazed fan then drank the whole flu-infested water down, yelling "I HAVE THE Q VIRUS! I HAVE THE Q VIRUS".
Which is a roundabout way of saying I believe you're sick.

Moz in El Paso... (Score:2, Informative)
God I am so elated right now!
Some highlights:
He joked with the crowd quite a bit. He mentioned how small the venue was and that he hoped to play a bigger venue, in El Paso, in the future. He introduced the band and ended with "...and I'm Humberto!" He started "the world is full of crashing bores with: "If you all have ever seen American Idol, you'll know what this song is all about(or something to that effect)". He took some sunflowers from a fan and tossed them back into the audience. He also stated, after "Mexico", "Would you like that song so much if it were titled Italy? No...no....no".
The encore, of course, was "the light that never goes out" and ended the show with removing his shirt and tossing it into the audience. A small riot then ensued.
All in all, it was an amazing show. I got to come home and see Morrissey at the same time! Who could ask for more?!

For the Record!
The Promoters were told that Morrissey wanted to play interesting venues and not just large Civic Centers.
The original idea was to have the August 6th show at Far West Rodeo. That date was taken by the Judas Priest concert. Xcape Nightclub was under new owners and Club 101 was too small.
Club Vallare was the only available venue. The choice was Club Vallare or pass on El Paso.
It would have been great at E9 Outdoors like Ozomotli show (Mujer Festival). That wasn't an option either.
We were told by Club Vallare that they could hold up to 2,000 people. The number of tickets printed & sold were a little over a 1,000 tickets per show.
The original August 6th show sold out quickly and was postponed to Sept. 3rd. There was no way to move the show back to Far West Rodeo. FWR uses Ticketmaster for their shows. We would of had to refund and then re-sell new tickets.
Club Vallare used to be the old REALM Nightclub.
The first time I saw the inside of this club was last week. Before that it had been over 3 years ago. My fault for not checking that building out any sooner.
Club Vallare worked real hard to make this work.
Club Vallare's Owner, Managers and staff did a great job-considering everything.
The Huge sound board placed in the middle of the club cut into a big chunk of Club Vallare's Capacity. Something they weren't planning on.
There were mistakes made on the first show and were corrected on the second show.
I love El Paso/Juarez/Las Cruces. I'm still passionate about music and the scene.
Several former El Pasoans from Austin and Dallas
still can't believe I'm still living in El Paso and that I'm still bothering to help bring shows to El Paso.
Club 101 is not the enemy. Tell me which El Paso Nightclub has brought more great shows than 101.
Tell me which club besides 101 that plays Morrissey music.
Thanks to Hero Radio for providing an outlet for Morrissey's Music to be heard on the radio.
I'm glad the show came to El Paso. I ran into people from all over the country.
For a change, it was nice that the rest of Texas had to drive to El Paso instead of us driving out-of town.
Thanks Stardate Concerts for bringing Morrissey
to the El Paso/Las Cruces/Juarez Area.
If there is a next time, hold it at a bigger venue, and let me meet Morrissey!
PEACE!

one of the best and worst shows i've attended (Score:2, Informative)
boz's wife lyn was also being hassled by security and she had her camera snatched and wasnt allowed anywhere near the stage..she definitely looked angry..(she's a really cheery and proud wife, it was a shame to see that happen to her)
i hope those guys get whats coming to them or at least grow up... kudos to the one or two good guys though..it's nice to see self-control exercised and see that maturity can win.
dont worry el pasoans...the band now knows about what happened last night...and hopefully if they do comeback it will be at far west..
(although i cant say i see them ever coming back)

The pleasure, the priviledge was ours (Score:1)
Club Vallare is a hip hop place, so I'm sure most of us won't have to visit it ever again. Also, there is a downstairs level to the club, which could explain why they claimed the place could hold 2000 of us. Let us just thank our lucky stars that the floor did not cave in and that Moz touched our lives two days in a row. I have never seen Morrissey so energetic and pleased with an audience. He was the sweatiest of all of us! Sometimes pleasure is a struggle. I would suffer all over again if I had to just to be a part of it all. Life is never kind...life is never kind...

Excellent show (Score:1)
Now I have to make all of you jeolous and say that I gave Morrissey a tulip and was able to touch his hand when i gave it to him. He had an excellent smile when he looked at me. I truly believe that Morrissey really likes his fans a lot and will come back to El Paso in the future.
The show was EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!
