Last Friday, I volunteered at Litfest. I had to sell books for a seminar for magazine publishers, writers and editors. Basically, it was a session for my type of people, and I was just sitting in on the session.
Later that evening, my friend Becky and I went to see Moby. The event was way across town, and I don't drive much at night in Edmonton. Suffice it to say that Becky had to put up with me getting a bit lost on the way there and back.
The Edmonton Events centre is a little club attached to the mall. It's fairly intimate and there are multiple levels which allows you to see the stage from a number of vantage points. Becky had been there before to see M.I.A and knew the best place for us to stand. Since we are both short, we were able to stand on the stairs and see the stage quite well.
The crowd was quite a bit older. In fact, we were pretty much on the younger end of the spectrum, which was really nice.
Moby himself puts on a great show. I thought he would just dj, but he plays guitar and keys, sings and plays the bongos. His entire band was female except for the drummer. He had two female vocalists and a violinists on stage with him. The show as high energy and he played a lot of his old favourites. All in all, it was a great experience and I'd recommend seeing him live if you get the chance.
