2008 gerard way lecture at sva
gerard way lecture at sva 2008
“I was there too yesterday, with my friend. We were the two Russian girls that raised our hands.
I thought the Detroit thing was really funny. We were laughing about that a lot later.I asked the question about meeting one person in history. I remember he scrunched up his face in that trademark way of his for that one. Haha. And the answer was just, so cute.
My friend asked the question about what his favorite font is. He got really excited about that one. The first time he’s been asked that!
He mentioned Trajan and Futura Bold as his favorite fonts. Everyone was like, please don’t say “Comic Sans”. Lol. He said something about a Fiesta font too. And Serif and Sans serif. (Forget which one he said he liked)And Alex Toth-that was the artist he mentioned as his biggest inspiration. “I will always be chasing that…”
I forget though, what was that Comic book that he mentioned as “changing his life”. It was issues 00 and 01 that he specified.
Omgosh, and X-Men! He bought the issue with Wolverine Crucified on the cover. And he was saying how, being Catholic, his parents weren’t going to like that. Lol.
Oh, and my favorite quote from the evening was, (It just really spoke to me, I guess, because I hope to go to SVA next year. I recently got accepted! )
“You have to live, breathe, eat, shit art” or at least, it was something along those lines.
From a girl called “softspirit” on INO.net

“Article By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Normally a preppy college town baked in desert heat, Tempe, Arizona was bathed in darkness Friday night thanks to the black-clad denizens who descended upon Tempe Beach Park for My Chemical Romance’s tour kickoff. The band eschewed their black-and-white Black Parade uniforms for casual street clothing and tore through a ninety-minute set that focused primarily on 2006’s The Black Parade. However, the New Jersey-based band, playing as part of the two-day Circle K Tempe Music Festival, went back to their 2004 breathrough album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge for its opening and closing numbers: impassioned versions of breakout hits “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” and “Helena,” respectively.
Frontman Gerard Way gains a little more confidence with each passing tour, and for this show he channeled the spirit of Mick Jagger: shimmying across the stage, stopping to wiggle his hips on a catwalk that projected into the mosh pit. During “This Is How I Disappear,” his bassist brother Mikey Way (wearing a fantastic T-shirt that announced, “Mikey Fuckin Way”) violently shook his head as Gerard encouraged the audience to raise their right hands.
“Thanks for coming out to the fucking rock show,” Gerard said while introducing “Dead!” “Are you all ready to die?” Luckily, nobody bit the dust before the band closed the show in mid-tour form. The group that began in garages in New Jersey has graduated to one of the top arena acts in the country, and its members wear it awfully well. The kids, as they say, are all right.”
