Girl Talk - Non-Stop Party Now
You know how you can smell the heat in water right before it begins to boil? That smell is the odor of potential. That smell yields one conclusion: the inevitable explosion of heat and intensity that will swallow up and transform anything in proximity. This same scent of uncontrolled potentiality blanketed Stage 3 at FFF Fest last Saturday night with Girl Talk’s performance. It took seconds for the excited crowd to rush on-stage and commence in a wild dance party once DJ Gregg Gillis bawled “LETS GET THIS SHOW A LITTLE CLOSER!” The gig was absolutely absorbing.
This was my first time seeing Girl Talk, and I can say that I’ve never seen a more involved / totally chaotic audience ever. His endless mashups lasted for over an hour and evoked a compulsion towards mania, yielding dives from the 20ft rafters and at least a dozen security guards fruitlessly attempting to prevent gaggles of scensters from scrambling on-stage. I had a hoot.
Sorry I’m late.

Can those scarves the girls are wearing be also worn as a skirt? I heard about the guy jumping off the rafters but does gills really invite just anyone on stage? That sounds so crazy.

Yeah, whenever he performs you like, can’t even see him because the crowd is going crazy everywhere.

In response to Matt; yes. He does. He’s crazy. Last time I saw him they had to get bouncers to hold the table the whole show so it didn’t get pushed offstage by all of the wildnessssss. so fun.
