Come to the dark side, it has good music
Roger Waters This is not a drill
Katy, Mira and I had tickets to go see Roger Waters in his farewell tour at the Hallenstadion in Zurich.
I’d previously seen The Wall in 2010 in Montreal and 2011 in London, so it’d been a really long time since I hadn’t seen a live show. It’s impressive to remember that the man is 80 years old and still putting out a mean show!
Putting aside the bolshy politics and the fact that the newer material is not even subtle in its in-your-face attitude, the show was – as Katy described it – powerful. I still really do prefer the older Floyd-era material and that did not disappoint. There are a few of the recent ones I’ll give another listen to though.
We drove up there and back, ending up back home at 230am. It’s been a long day.
While we were there, Gino and Lizzie were taking care of the chonk. Seems like they all had a good time, except for one detail…

Well that was expectedly annoying
Roger Waters is coming to Zurich next year for a one-day stop in Switzerland as part of his farewell tour. Through my mobile phone provider, I had access to a ticket pre-sale. Or so I thought. The sale opened at 10am yesterday. I was on the website, I had tickets selected. And then the ticketcorner website completely bogged down under scalper bot load, and I couldn’t complete my purchase. When I refreshed the browser, all the top-tier tickets were already sold out. When I tried to get another set of tickets, those disappeared before my eyes. Within 5 minutes, all the tickets were sold out. And now those tickets, that were 200chf, are available on ticket resale websites for more than three times face value.
I’m going to try my luck again when the main sale starts later this week, but I’m not holding my breath.
Pink Floyd
Seven years ago, there was promotion of Pink Floyd’s back catalogue, and this robot was one of the eye-catching images created. Love it!!

my take on a classic
I’ve been looking for this poster for years. I had it in my bedroom when I was a teenager and got rid of it years ago, after it got battered after several flat moves. Little did I know that it would become a fairly rare, limited edition poster. The only biggish picture that I’ve seen that could be used as a basis for cleanup and photomanip came from an ebay listing, and even that had cosmetic damage. So, here below, are some creative things I’ve done with it.
The toonified version.
The halftone version.
As a matter of fact…
