So if you have read my previous blog and/or noticed my previous msn nickname, 
you know I was looking for a companion to see Lan Creators'  "Let's Broadway!” 
Even though I wished that I could be accompanied by a young good-looking single unattached lady, 
I ended up went to the show with my senior high school buddy 硯光 。
(BTW, I just found out that 白歆惠 is one of his junior high school classmates) 
Well, a freak otaku like me shouldn’t have that kind of expectation anyway. XD. 
硯光 is a cool guy. He is a drummer. Sometimes he is mysterious and weird, but still a cool guy. 
The show was, overall, a really nice production. 
The transitions between songs were nearly flawless and creative; 
given the fact that the songs they perform are from different musicals, 
pulling of the effect that I witnessed is worth praising. 
The performers did a fair enough job; sometimes too rigid IMO. 
One thing that they can improve in the future is the building and releasing of emotion. 
Sometimes the pit orchestra and the singers just released differently, 
which makes you think “what a pity. You are THAT close to be way more effective!” 

But I can’t fully enjoy the show because I kept thinking what if it was me on the stage. 
It’s like I didn’t really try to enjoy any DCI show I saw in 2004. 
Why? Because I was a corps member; you don’t usually enjoy your opponents’ shows, do you? 
And the one who keeps grieving his incompetence of not making the cut for the audition surely can’t enjoy the show, either.  

After the show, we went to 河岸留言 to see a live band performance. 
The band that night is called terminal 2/第二航廈。
I am not familiar with the whole live band thing, but I can tell they were good. 
硯光told me 第二航廈 is a fusion style band. The audience was really responsive. 
Maybe I should learn bass/guitar in order to play in this kind of band.  

Two extremely different styles of performance in an evening.
