Feist rocked Prospect Park

As tiring as it is to hear how much someone likes Feist, the woman’s got the rock and roll. I wasn’t at the show at Prospect Park, but I’ve been told it was an absolute fulfillment. The loyal Baird brothers are still hanging tight, and the dangling beads of light we saw last has been ditched in favor of beautiful paper cutout shadow animations. According to one security guard, the turnout ran in the 6000’s, the truth of which depends on his counting abilities, but that is what he claimed. And for whatever reason, despite the weather forecast that rightly predicted it would pour, umbrellas were not allowed inside! A man who skateboarded to the show wasn’t allowed to enter with his skateboard either. A woman tried to hide her green umbrella amongst the leaves of a tree, giving up on the strategy eventually. Ticketed shows at the Bandshell can come with bitchy rules, as I’ve learnt in the past. Videos coming next posted below, take the jump for all photos, taken by Kashish. 

Update: several rebellious encounters occurred with the security guards over the issue of said umbrellas. Some of my friends pointed out to them that many people had sneaked in umbrellas, so they haughtily picked theirs up from what the security had amassed and walked back in.
