thurston came out and didn't say a word. nobody clapped when he came out. it was complete silence. then at the end all he did was introduce jim and then walked out. kind of strange since he's usually so charismatic, but interesting nonetheless. nice experience for $10.

i've noticed at solo/noise shows thurston has a complete different personality to his SY persona... it's like he's trying to be more avant-garde and mature maybe... like his noise shows are more serious and /. or spiritual... like personal rituals... whereas sonic Youth is high school goof (off)
and noise fans try to act all aloof hence the lack of appluase maybe...
