Would talk about other things… but I SAW THE CURE THE OTHER NIGHT!
I mentioned in my earlier post how I didn’t get a rush at the
show…lol… might have been cause I was working too hard. The rush
came when I saw the results. Oh my…
Before I left for the show I thought I wouldn’t be able to bring the
video camera in (hahaha… even dug out the steelbelted panties to
sneak it in), and Kevin told me to just relax, not worry about it…
and instead of being so focused on working, have fun instead. I tried
to have fun… but I’m addicted to work….
I got to keep my video camera, but the instant their security got a
sight of me filming, they bade me promise to put it away and not film
anymore (I got a total of 10 secs of their entrance… and a beautiful
view of the crowd… that’s what got me caught *damn*).
Good girl that I am, I made nice eyes, and swore my pinkiest
promise…and put the video camera away.
And then went and broke that pinky promise…
You see… the still camera we were carrying… takes video. The
security guys sent glances our way a couple times… and we swore our
best pinky swear (fingers crossed behind our backs) that we were only
taking stills…
But we weren’t.
We shot a couple of things, some useable, some not, but one thing we
did get was a close up of Roberts face (I mean… life size, just you
and him and the music) singing the entire of Lovesong.
Was the only one I shed tears for…. Apparently so did he (or he was
sweating tears from his eyes).
Although I don’t make money at it… yet…(which is probably why
their label refuses to give me the time of day)… I am a commercial
user of this footage.
I don’t have permission to use this footage for commercial purposes,
and I’m now in a quandry as to what to do with it.
Not that I mind committing acts of piracy, but the thing is… this
isn’t just some behemoth corporate monster I’m dealing with.
This is Robert Smith.
How much esteem I have for this man one would hope would be obvious,
but at the same time, how much esteem he has for his behemoth
corporate monster is obvious as well.
It’s not just the fact that I stole his image and his voice… I
bought my fair share of that with my ticket (which… oddly enough…
was just given to me).
I wasn’t entitled to any more, and I took more than I was entitled to,
and if Robert wanted people to get that close to him… well… I
dunno….
I wonder if I’ll manage to get permission to use it before I intend on
releasing it.
I hope so… it’s gold. Pure, unadulterated, Cure fan porn this is.
I will release it as planned on Friday the 13th of June though…
I was asked the other day why I idolize Robert Smith. I only had to
think about it a couple of seconds. He has been the only presence in
my life that has consistenly stayed true to itself, and to me.
