Merch What a show!!!

Post image

My friend had tried to get me into Protomen before a couple years ago and I liked Act II, but I never really gave them much thought afterwords.
I WAS STUPID!!
That fucking angel bought me a ticket when he was getting a pass for himself and brought me along for all three days, and I am a fully converted fan for life now! They kicked absolute ass, every one of the opening acts was stellar, and they literally couldn’t be nicer people if they tried!!

I was so fucking stupid too. My husband has liked them for years, since Act 1 came out. I liked them, I even saw them live twice. The show I saw in 2016 was pretty much the best show i’ve been to. But it just didn’t click until i heard “God, i swear even now i can still feel the sun on my face”. My brain broke and now I’m pretty much obsessed.

ACT 3 SHOW WAS SO FUCKING GOOD, IT ROCKED SO FUCKING HARD. I mean, all the nights were amazing, but tonight was so, so good.

We didn’t get to meet them. I saw Gambler in front of the theater briefly, but didn’t have the nerve to tell her what an absolute goddess she is.

The adoration Gambler receives now fills my heart so much. She wasn't nearly so downstage in their early shows and her presence has grown over the years.

I love that she is featured so much more in act 3. She is an absolute vocal powerhouse. That was one of the things I was really looking forward to seeing on Night 3.

Yeah when they started experimenting with covers she started diving in and it was amazing. I got to see her do total eclipse of the heart live one of the first times she ever did it at a very special small show that I persuaded them to do in Delaware maaaany years ago.

She’s amazing on The Cover Up. And her and Panther’s voices together are beyond out of this world.

Protomen vocals period are just peak. So amazing.

By the way, was that a Bootleg Bobby shirt?

It was! I heard from someone that he would be dropping these online similar to how he did after the Nashville show but I haven’t heard anything else yet, I’m hoping I can get another one of these shirts so I can just frame my signed one and not worry about it

Yeah, I like some of his designs but didn’t get to get one. Talked to him a little on Wednesday night too, pretty cool dude.
