Ghost of the Robot
{ GOTR, Melkweg, Amsterdam. May 11, 2004. Click to enlarge.}
Yes, it's 'Spike'. I went to see actor James Marsters' band Ghost of the Robot. I was the only person my age there who did not bring their children. Average age of audience: 16. (There were 20-year-olds there complaining about 'the kids'.) Keep that in mind. Longer write up to follow.

Very nice pic indeed. So what was the concert like?
The concert was below average. I've seen a lot of crap bands in my life, but this just made me angry.
I'll try to write something that doesn't offend one million James Marsters fans world wide later.
Ouch must have been pretty bad then. I look forward to reading your write up.
Mrs Hg's colleague is going to see him on Friday, awaiting further details with trepidation...
It is a shame how poor GotR is. I say this despite being a huge fan of Mr. Marsters...
Is that a nicotine-patch on his arm (would explain the lollipop in his hand).
Yes, it is. Very rock and roll.
Despite all of your disclaimers, that's one helluva set of pictures.
Well, the main clue I can give is quantity. And Photoshop. I had to do a lot of work on them, to compensate for the lousy angle and my lack of height.
