Afternoon K-Fed Extravaganza Update! Trent posted four of my pictures (two of which I posted earlier here below), a chunk of my recap and a bunch of other links and stuff from the K-Fed show. Meanwhile, the AP video was also picked up by Perez. In short, Dan and I are now minor internet celebrities… among people who we already knew who came across our awe-struck evaluation of the K-Fed show while going about their normal internet activities. Awesome.
Here’s the concert recap I emailed to Trent, my favorite celeb gossip blogger:
So last night was pretty weird. At about 7:30 there were already about 200 people there, which I’ve heard is more than he pulled in NYC, so it was pretty clear that the curiosity factor was really drawing people in (or making them decide to pick up the FREE TICKETS House of Blues emailed their listserv about). After a decent rap opener (don’t know who they were) and a really horrendous R&B opener (some girl… not sure who), K-Fed finally took the stage at about 9:10. By then the place was still not packed, but maybe 200 more people had shown up–there were people in the boxes and filling up the bar areas in front. Meanwhile, the crowd was pretty much wasted–there was a whole group of people dressed up AS K-Fed who could barely stand up by the time he actually came onstage. But when he did, the place went a little nuts.
After a few songs, a some people were shouting Britney’s name and some guys were shouting FED-EX and had signs. Eventually, the guy K-Fed raps with said, “Yeah, we have FedEx accounts… and for all you haters, thanks for supporting our cause!” At which point the place erupted in laughter because NOBODY PAID FOR THEIR TICKETS! It was like a $2 “convenience fee” or something, but HoB was giving them away online. Kevin also made some crack about “keeping the Ferrari,” which illuminated a rather sad aspect of his whole show–the guy’s got a TON of lyrics about his high-spending lifestyle. Which the entire world knows is now OVER.
He and the guy he raps with were both inviting everybody to the afterparty at Cabaret (I hope you get a report from that… yikes), and Kevin made a few remarks about the fine ladies of Chicago, how we should come to the party because he’s a free man now. Stay away! The world doesn’t need more K-Fed offspring! Other than the guy he raps with and his DJ, K-Fed also brought along two sub-par dancers. He did join them to treat us to a very short dance break, which was fine… otherwise they were pretty stupid and random. K-Fed started getting a little agitated, it seemed, toward the end of the show. I think people were yelling stuff at him, and there were definitely projectiles–beer cans, a sweatshirt, a blown up condom balloon bouncing around. Everybody was pretty much egging him on and heckling him all night.
Hi Abby!
You got kicked out? Man, that show was hilarious. I think there some superfans there though!!! I heard some girls doing that “I love you shriek” right in my ear.
I’m partially deaf now, mostly from the poor rapping skills and a little bit due to the high pitched girlies near my head.
My voice also sounds froggy because I was laughing and shouting a lot.
um, i hope to god my grandkids have no idea who k-fed is. YIKES.
As stated on Facebook, you’re officially my hero. You got kicked out of a K-Fed show a day after he found out he was getting divorced…. You’re just the greatest being on the planet.
Oh, the majesty of Abby.
you are officially a big deal. you don’t even smell like rich mahogany, you smell like rich k-feddery.
seriously. amazing.
