F-F-F-FOXY! SHAZAAAAAAAAM!!

Oh and Panic! At the Disco was there too.

Actually they were the headliner but in comparison to Foxy.....no wait there is no comparison.

(CAA if you're reading, just stop yourself right now. Actually you should have stopped right at the title)

I'm glad I got to the NorVa by at the start time, I figured that Foxy Shazam was bigger then the band Fun! thus Fun would be opening.

I was horribly wrong. Never the less, I got there in time and became utterly excited when Foxy Shazam's Eric Nally walked on stage wearing a frilled out bright red button down shirt and began crooning something. It was bazaar and I was confused, at first I thought he was possibly announcer but then I recognized him and just became even more confused.

Until they broke out into their song "Yes Yes Yes!" And My heart skipped a beat and my knees went weak and I started screaming and dancing like a teenibopper. It was horribly embarrassing. But not as embarrassing as when they played Oh Lord right after. Now that I sang to. Mainly because that is my all time favorite song of theirs.

I wish I could describe everything that happened on stage but I can't. Mainly because my brain had been earlier fried by A&P classes and Oh my God there was just so much going on. I was literally standing on my tip toes, moving my head around like a bobble head trying to see everything Eric Nally was doing.

There was a hand stand for ten seconds, there was running around, rolling all over stage. And then this happened.

It all started with him running around and getting to close to the monitors which caused Horrible feedback. Which drove everyone crazy, including him. After one of their songs he immediately asked for them to turn off the monitors after which he asked The crowd for some cigarettes. Someone tossed him some and he picked out one....two....three...four! Cigs, placed them in his mouth and lit them. Every last one. I was stunned. He was not only smoking INSIDE the NorVa but also smoking four cigs! Holy shit. He later asked for his merchandise manager to give him $350 dollars worth of Merch money.
Oooh?! Really?

I thought he would be getting tons of T-shirts or something to toss out. I was wrong, the Manager handed him $350 in cash. Oh shit. He's throwing out caaaash!! W00t.

He addressed us all and asked if we wanted Free money. Of course we do! HEllO! Toss away my skinny four cig smoking performer friend. Toss away.

And he did. HE tossed out money to the moshpit.....AS HE TORE IT IN HALF LIKE A CRAZED ANIMAL! I was stunned. And then I laughed. I laughed so hard I thought I was choke. I began to cheer and laugh. IT was hilarious. I could hear the cheering, the laughter but most of all the horror and confusion by most of the people around me.

Jokes on you bitch.

After smoking his four cigs down a bit he walked around the stage and then out of nowhere, I saw him open his mouth, and eat the cigarettes.

No I'm not lying. He actually fucking ate them. I saw him do it. I saw the red sparked from the burned ends fly everywhere. I watched as he spent the next 10 minutes spitting out bits of Cigarettes.

After consuming the Cigs Foxy Shazam broke out into another song at which point Eric began motioning for a lighter. It took him a while to get one but he did. He still had some cash left and as soon as I saw him catch that lighter I knew the rest of the cash didn't stand a chance.

And it didn't. He lit that shit on fire real quick. I began to laugh hysterically. Mainly at the two guys behind me who where utterly confused and horrified at what they were seeing. They both looked at me like I was crazy.


Panic! Came on after Fun played. Fun was okay, I could have done without them but it's whatever. Panic! knows how to put on a show, they sounded really good and they had good energy but I really don't think anything will ever top Foxy's show.

Oh and the lead singer for Panic! confirmed that Eric Nally does eat Cigs. He said that they'll be talking and he'll randomly just eat one. He says he enjoys watching it every time he does it.

I could how this might be enjoyable.
