starset, books and more

I write and draw about the things and worlds I create in my head writer, lover of rock, metal and cats

Yes, my native language is Spanish, maybe later I can do an English translation.

It had been a long time since I wrote something that I really felt, I have always tried to focus on others liking what I do; At first it was comforting but now I'm at a point in which pleasing others became tedious and boring, I feel that this gives me the strength to go back to doing what I love, being who I am, but... Who am I?

I miss Dustin a lot with his bow, although the one now isn't bad either, as it is here is a drawing of the man who stole my heart ❤️

Hey there my fellow Starset cryptids, since I finally have a decent phone with a decent camera, enjoy some front-row pics from the Prague demonstration!

Some highlights under the cut

- I'm writing this at like 1:20 AM from a nonstop KFC where I'm camping until my train home arrives. There are creepy people here so I just pretend I don't exist. (Post has been revised and edited at home)

- It was SO FUNNY since there was some kind of graduation party in a different part of the venue, so you just had those hardcore rock people with BMIs on their heads AND very formal people in crisp, fancy suits and dresses basically side by side

- Dustin was funny as fuck during the VIP session

- Dustin: "Any song request?" Audience: "Let it die!" Dustin: "Let it Die? You want Let it Die? Okay! Here's Echo!"

- "Now we're gonna play a really deep-cut song. A real obscure one. A lot of you probably haven't heard it." Proceeds to play My Demons

- We're apparently getting TWO new novels in the foreseeable future. Big news for Starset lore rats such as myself.

- Spent like $150 on merch. Don't judge my financial decisions.

- Update: creepy people are going away. Thank fucking god.

- The guitarists of Smash into Pieces (the support band) got so lost in the sauce they almost kicked out my teeth twice and narrowly avoided at least three serious injuries.

- I don't actively listen to SiP, but their set was pretty amazing

- But NOTHING is as amazing as Starset. It's unbelievable what they can do with a tiny venue with limited space. That feeling when the demonstration starts to feel more like a theatre / musical is impeccable (hence it's called a "demonstration" instead of just "concert" or "show", to include all those aspects).

- At least one guy decided to ditch the aforementioned graduation party and showed up to see Starset, in his suit and all. Legend.

- Silly me took a small sightseeing tour in Prague before the show, so I already had like 16,000 steps in my legs when I got there and could barely stand by the end.

- Big thanks to my great friend & her GF who made the experience even more enjoyable

- After the show, we managed to meet Cory Juba (the newest touring member of the band). He's SO nice and humble and he seemed genuinely overjoyed when we told him we loved the show & his performance. Very open to taking pictures and even hugging.

- The only slight negative was the security staff who acted like major dickheads most of the time. Like, I get it, it's your job, but still, JFC. A big FUCK YOU goes to them.

- Overall 10/10 experience. Absolutely worth the time, money and energy.

Never have i thought I'd see a hot man (Dustin Bates) shirtless pouring paint all over himself in a MV for a song about death...

It's truly a view that I'm loving
