My Own, Personal
Last night, while walking to the Metro, there was a crew setting up some equipment in front of the Pantages. I thought it might be some filming.
When I got out of the Metro again this morning, there was a full stage up, and streets blocked off in all directions. The entire intersection was blocked off with gates and fences. I smiled at some security guards, and then walked straight through anyway. I wasn't stopped until I tried to get out. The security guard tried to give me a speech about how I wasn't allowed through the gate and I had to go around, but I when I pointed out that this course of action would send keep me in the supposedly secure area even longer, she let me through.
I asked what was going on, and she said it was a concert. I asked how long it was going to be up, and she said until midnight. Which is hell for me, since it's going to be blocking off my route to the Metro. By tonight, they'll actually care about the security, and there'll be hundreds of concert-goers milling around to boot.
The inconvenience of the road closure—not to mention the thought of a very loud street show while I try to sleep—was all that I cared about. I went home grumpy.
It wasn't until I told![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ojouchan about the concert that I even bothered to find out who was playing:
Depeche Mode
I'm going to bed now, when I wake up, I'll be listening to a live performance by Depeche Mode coming through my window.
