I was here that night, and saw Tom kneeling at the side of the stage just staring at the crowd with an incredible lack of emotion on his face. But once he got in front of the crowd he had so much energy and love for his fans. I'll never forget that bank, piercing expression, almost as it was reminiscing what he was about to face. Shortly after the revival tour ended he came out as a transgender. Forgive my improper use of pronouns but that night I met Tom Gabel not Laura Jane Grace.
Hello 2014! I'm just guessing, but I once heard her explain that she felt uncomfortable in her own skin 99% of the time, except when she gets on stage to sing. Could be that blank expression was some of the 99%, but once on stage...KABOOM!
