Tomorrow night, Saturday, I have tickets to go see My Morning Jacket perform at the Fillmore Theater. Someone I work with in Oakland is also going, and today he forwarded me this message that was posted on the MMJ website:
"hello all you nice people coming to our san-fran filmore shows. we wanted to let you know that we are going to be filming the shows for a film-but we want to try and make it a special "fantasty"(ooohhh....) film that is more like a movie than an ordinary concert film. we want to encourage attendees to dress up in costumes (preferably "faeries and wizzards and goblins") or olde timey victorian ballroom dancing attire-big frilly skirts and top hats and tuxedos and such. we also encourage that you bring glo-sticks, flowers, magic wands or any other interesting objects that may look cool on film and glow. if you have a pumpkin and two mice that you can turn into a stagecoach drawn by horses you should ride to the show in that and our monkey butler will help you out and into the club. we want to get fun footage of people arriving and also crowd shots where it looks like it was filmed in a fantasy forest in the early 1900's. so yes- think "olde-tymey fantasy forest- or just dressy if you dont have any costumes or skrilla to spend on costumes. please spread this message to anyone you know that may be attending... and come have a grand time with us out in the forest."
-your pals, mmj.
So now I have to figure out what to do. I am really just thinking I will break out my Lady Godiva wig and laurel halo again (maybe weave some flowers into it). Is that faerie-ish enough? I need to come up with some type of clothing ensemble, too. If I wear the wig, it is a guarantee of getting filmed. That thing draws attention. When I wore it to Critical Mass last month I was really glad to be moving, on wheels, wearing it as I traversed the city.
I need to remove it from long term storage right now (my closet shelf). I will feel a little weird on BART with that thing on. Oh well. People in SF have probably seen much stranger things than a faerie on the 38 Geary on a Saturday night.
