During the show, Daniel, Dave and Kavus left the stage and walked out into the audience (in the space between the orchestra and pit seats); Daniel and Kavus on... well, I'm sure there's technical name, I'll call 'em "hooters"*... and Dave on a small gong.

So... it was dark here in the audience, so I changed the curves to reveal details. Dave had previously been standing right next to me and "banged his gong" practically in my ear (the NF photog who had been sitting next to me was at the wings (I think), taking pics at the time; but was not the photo sorta seen in this pic). It reminded me of ProgFest 2000 when Mona Lisa wandered through the crowd.

Anyway, I thought the "colour shift" that happened when I did alter the curves made for an interesting shot... I does look like something from a horror film, but no one was beheaded, despite it looking like Dave is about to.

The terminus of the trek was back on stage...



*I say hooter (and you can stop your Beavis/Butthead-eque snicker now) as that was at least what the group The Hooters called 'em. And I'm drawing a blank otherwise.
