Update: Doctor Who screening

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Ina break from my usual concert-going ways, I attended the public screening for long-running UK TV show Doctor Who (which you may not be watching, but you must have heard of by now).  The new head-writer/exec Steven Moffat and the two leads of the newest season (Matt Smith as The Doctor and Karen Gillan as his assistant, Amy Pond) conducted a Q&A with the 300+ strong audience after the showing of the first episode, The Eleventh Hour.

Before the screening Steven, Matt and Karen posed for photographers outside the East Village Cinema…

Update: Muse

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

In March (almost two months ago now – a sure sign I need to update more often!), Muse headlined Madison Square Garden once more and this time it was sold out. To celebrate their new-found star power, they brought an elaborate set up with them that consisted of three towering platforms, on which they performed.

Though I had been granted a photo pass, this is MSG we’re talking about, and with the pass being more trouble than it was worth, I opted for a GA location near the stage with my Canon point and shoot.
