You love to hate the video. The show won't be just Kelly. It will be a variety of stuff by Liam, the person behind "Kelly" - but also "Kelly" (and premiere of the new Kelly video "Let Me Borrow That Top").
Tix are $25 full price. On 2-for-1 sale today. But I don't have a "2" to take - so I might as well wait, pay full price at the door, and skip all the ticketmaster fees.
But that doesn't answer the question.... should I go to the show in the first place? House of Blues, Hollywood, on Sat the 25th. I don't expect it too be good. I do expect the crowd to be interesting.

She Wants Revenge, 11/21/06 (House of Blues - San Diego) 
Opening bands were Monster (didn't hear them) and Pretty Girls Make Graves (thought Pants Party would like them). I HATE that their lighting caused their photo to come out better than anything I took of SWR.
SWR was great - they always are. Short set again - just over an hour (that includes the encore). But they only have 1 album (13 songs) and 2 promo tracks, so they still ended up performing the majority of their music.
I was annoyed with the girls behind me during Adam's instrumental piece, "Disconnected" because the music is really touching (to me, the song sounds like remembering a great love from the past) but the girls spent the duration of this beautiful song screaming, "TAKE IT OFF!!" Soooo not the right moment.
LOVED when the band sang their 2 promo tracks, "Black Liner Run" and "Spend the Night", which are only available on the "These Things" EP. Because nearly no one has that EP, 99% of the audience stood around, not sure what they were hearing. Kim and I (and a handful of others) rocked out and got to play, "We're bigger fans that you are!! (neener-neener-nee-ner!!)"
I got a kick out of seeing that during "I Don't Want To Fall In Love", at the counting part, Justin finger-counts (1, 2, 3... 4-5-6-7!) in sign language... because I finger count in sign too.
Kim and I were only 4 people from the stage, and 4 people from center, for the entire show. Unfortunately, there was a super tall guy in front of us - and the band spent the vast majority of the show in the center, or left of us.
A nice bonus event for me: I happened to witness the exact moment Kim went from being obsessed with Justin, the lead singer, to noticing Adam, the keyboardest - and becoming completely obsessed with him instead She's apparently a sucker for dimples... and Adam surely has that base covered. The change of obsessions worked out well as I had promised Kim she'd get a sweaty hug from Justin... but he never came out after the show. Adam, on the other hand, signed autographs... which is what I'm holding in my photo (signed ticket)... and posed for pictures... which is Kim's photo.
I only recorded a couple minutes of video footage (still have to edit it & save in a playable format) because the security guard (a bastard!) wouldn't let me record. I'm semi-debating about seeing them, again, in Anaheim tonight (Wed). It's MUCH closer to my home/work (San Diego was an 85 mile drive - we made it in 1 hr), but it's also a bigger venue and snottier crowd (that's where I saw DEVO). I'll most likely skip it because it would be hard to top tonight.
Here are the rest of the best of the pics (the rest are in my photo gallery - in case you're interested):
