Well, except when that means you can&#8217;t get in to see them.  This happened a couple of months back when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.okgo.net\/news.aspx\" title=\"the official band site\" target=\"_blank\">OK Go<\/a> played the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blowupmetro.com\/\" title=\"Metro - it's really really teeny\" target=\"_blank\">Metro<\/a> here on London.  Who knew that they had so many (and such hot) groupies?  Really?  Oh.  It&#8217;s just me, then.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after that gig (I did get in for the end, including the encore which consisted of a weird choreographed number on the drum riser while their latest single was played on CD), I was pointed at <a href=\"http:\/\/boss.streamos.com\/qtime\/capi001\/okgo\/amillionways\/video\/amillionways_v750.mov\" title=\"A Million Ways Video [QT750]\" target=\"_blank\">this video<\/a> (see the previous parenthesis), and I gotta tell you: when you&#8217;re having a bad day, it&#8217;ll keep you going. <\/p>\n<p>And tonight, while digging up a link for download of the aforementioned video for a friend, I discovered that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/okgo\/113026461\/\" title=\"Flickr: if only we all coulnd look this good in a mug shot\" target=\"_blank\">Damian<\/a> was <a href=\"http:\/\/thewilltorock.blogspot.com\/2006\/03\/j-stands-for-jailbird.html\" title=\"the story\" target=\"_blank\">arrested in Orlando<\/a>.  Apparently, he was arrested for being slightly too popular.  Well, that&#8217;ll teach you.<\/p>\n<p>Teach you to RAWK, one hopes.  <\/p>\n<p>See you on the 30th, boys&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s always good to see a hometown band make it all big in the scene.
