I got to chat a bit with Lori the photographer who took those pics on that Sat, right before Keith Fullerton Whitman's set, very nice person.
Going back to the Haters, I know it was a "performance", thats why I wrote I didnt want to be part of their "theater". Sorry I didnt make it clear right away that it was not a person from the audience, didnt mean to imply that.
I found it disturbing (although point could be made - he wanted to disturb us). Keep in mind watching this you dont know how far they are going to push it. Admittedly they didnt go beyond some shoving and pushing, but in my mind the threat of more violence was there (and my gut feeling is, if they did push it more, people would have rushed the stage to stop them). I should mention couple of beers did get thrown their way during that set, so not everyone just stood there and watched.
I dont know, maybe im giving the guy too much credit, maybe he saw it as a pro wrestling type skit and it was all fun and games. I guess you can interpret it whatever way you want. to me, cheering that set would be like cheering at the end of "Funny Games".
