It's a wee-bit stuttery on my computer, so I hope a full vid gets uploaded later... so I can watch it without buffering issues.

But it is such a /thrill/.

(do u think he can hear us)

[unctious]

honestly fucking loved the wind down on Win and Regine

Thanks for the set @owen, loved it. Did a lot of all-caps lyric texting to friends in tandem with the performance, which is an annoyance they've come to appreciate as a sign of my love for them.

I thought this version of Lewis Takes Off His Shirt was maybe the best I've ever seen the guitar adds a TON!!! Loved the high vocals on I Am Not Afraid too

Owen, that was so beautiful! I have some health issues that have prevented me from seeing any live shows in a long while and will continue to for the foreseeable future, so experiencing a performance like this as it happened was a really special treat. The fuzz version of Lewis Takes Off His Shirt was so unexpected and wonderful, and I also loved the dissolving weirdness at the end of Win and Regine. That might be my favorite live performance I've heard of that song.

Don't feel like you have to answer if this is too personal, but I'm curious about the pronoun change in I Am Not Afraid. Does it reflect your own identity changing since writing the original lyrics? As someone potentially beginning HRT soon and having to decide whether I'll ever want to have biological children/need to bank sperm in my mid twenties, I gotta say certain lines have become more meaningful lately.

Thank you so much for doing this!

Thank you for doing this Owen, it was such a gorgeous set <3

Wow! I had never heard I Am Not Afraid on guitar! It sounded amazing! Incredible set, Owen, every song sounded filled with energy.

oop! i was wrapped up in meetings while this was on, any chance of late viewing?

[adrestia]

xfs_xth, if you access the blogotheque instagram and click on their story (and swipe left to switch to the "live" option... sorry am not very good at Instagramming), you'll be able to watch! I'm watching it currently this way.

EDIT: I just finished!! What an awesome show.... the very ending gave me chills. Also vibing the pronoun change on I Am Not Afraid! Although a subtle change to a song already using gender neutral pronouns, that song has been deeply meaningful to me for many years in regards to my weird relationship with gender identity. So it definitely tugged at the heartstrings a bit, haha.
