Andrew & I went to the Parada & Festival on June 16th, with the only intentions being to see Nemesis (or Nemesis Rising as they're now known as).
However, we had a great time at the parade. So much so, that we almost missing seeing Jacob & Joshua! We were chatting with several others and making fun of the homophobic religious nutcases across the street.
The AIDS task force threw Andrew several condoms, which Mom promptly confiscated. Of course, he said he only wanted the candy that came with it. right
We stayed at the Festival for a bit, but it was waaaayy too hot. About 90 degrees, and right off the lake, but no breeze. Andrew saw several suggestive t-shirts he wanted ("I Like Boobies" was one, which I'm sure was geared towards the Lesbians), however Mom curtailed those purchases, too.
After going home for a bit to change and cool down, we went back and enjoyed Jason Stuart, a comedian who's been on 'My Wife & Kids' and 'House'. He asked all his "straight friends" to make themselves know, and then didn't believe I was straight because I was "dressed like a lesbian". (t-shirt, khaki shorts, sunglasses & baseball cap) Told me to go put on some make-up, which I don't wear. Picked on me a bit, but then afterward asked everyone to applause since I took it so well. Very funny gentleman. I even got 99% of the gay jokes and thought they were hilarious.
After a young folk singer, Eric Heiman (sp?) who was actually very, very good, we got to the stars: Jacob & Joshua Miller of Nemesis Rising!
Whoo!
They didn't have their backup singers or band and apologized, but who cared!
They bantered with each other and the audience. Several guys put money down their pants which they took with good grace, and Josh admitted was a first for any of their performances. That surprises me. They came out to greet people standing at the sides of the stage and give kisses & shake hands. I'm not that aggressive, so I didn't try. Besides, I doubt they'd want that kind of attention from a middle-aged hetero woman who's only five or so years young than their mother.
Their voices are much better live. Josh's is definitely lower, Jacob's more pop. Josh's solo, "On My Own" is beautiful. Much better than the bit shown during their Logo series.
Just great, nice young men. Beautiful smiles, friendly personalities, and they seem very appreciative of their audience.
Some pictures are listed below, linked to my Photobucket. So far I only have the pictures from my camera phone on there. More (& bigger) will be added soon.
