So.. tonight I saw tegan and sara...
There is no amount of verbal articulation that could justify how amazing they are. <---FACT
I got to see bagel and meet her friends who are all pretty awesome. Now I feel bad for not giving them all a hug goodbye... oh well. I was confused and rushing back to see the rest of the encour from the floor which has a better feel to it than the balcony... but sucks because I can usually never see, but I could still see their heads. Their was a cute short dykey chick bouncing up and down to the music and I was like Yay! for the non hipster.. people need to learn to dance during a concert and not just stand there like stalin's pretend communists.
But yes so there was much bouncing and bobbing of head and wanting to start of mosh pits.. yes, I would mosh to tegan and sara. I called everyone who I had arranged to before the concert, Piper (for whom I later screamed "Piper wants to have your babies!" at tegan and sara), Rachael (who thanked me profusely-I shouldtell her to call me during little pink castle on wed when she and casey see ani), Casey (during speak slow which got me going for the night and thinking about randomly kissing the first lesbian I saw, lol), Teylor (who freaked out with delight-god I miss her) and I think that's it. I wanted to call catherine again during a song, but didn't want to make her feel bad that she wasn't there or wake her up if she was already asleep. I bought an old cd of their's "under feet like ours" that you can't buy online and will share it with her like I did for So Jealous, now I need to get her to buy The Business of Art. I want to crowdsurf too... I've never done that before.. too afraid of being molested at HFStival.
Oh and I got lost on the way down, accidentally went down north capital street. i absolutely HATE how DC is layed out, but it does it's job.. if anyone ever invaded by foot they'd get soo lost trying to find their way in and then not be able to find their way out and die of starvation or have to settle into living in the horrible neighborhoods. DC is So Ghetto, it's really a sad sight and perpetuate poverty and racial stereotypes. XP At least I found my way out alright, unlike and invading fore might.
Back to the concert, I love the little things that go on between a band like sara saying "Tegan was the abusive parent" after talking about how they had to be mom to one another when their mom went back to school. I also love the story about their grandma who wouldn't sit in the reserved seat because she had just gotten knee surgery and wanted to stand and dance and how she stayed out on the dance floor after their first big concert and they had to drag her out to leave, lol. I love how they bicker so much but are really so sweet and cute, they dedicated a song to their mom and another to their grandma... so cute.. It just makes you want to pounce 'em, lol.
Their older cd feels very mixed and Ani-ish, I'm not sure how I feel about it, I like it but I think i like their newer stuff better... I'm more of a rock person, lol. Either way, anything by them is amazing and worth the money no matter how much it is.
I'm gonna finish making my tegan and sarah shirt tomorrow.
