so finally, i am going to update. man, this whole month has been so intense, so much has happened i cant really post about it! but lets just say this is the first time i've been somewhere without any plans to fly away in the next couple of days! saturday was so fucking amazing, i went down w/ bob to help him set up and there is gary lightbody playing soccer right infront of me! so we hung out there for a while and went to cool wagon to see em play against the thomastown team, there i got an autograph offa nathan (my favorite for sure), gary, the new guy paul, and johnny...i sadly left out the keyboardist as mean as it is, but i just didnt get the chance. then we went back for the gig, jill,cori and i were the only ones standing at the front, they was a huge ring around us, but i held my ground and stayed put! bobs gig was the best by far, they did this awesome intro bit where they all whipped out their skills...then the climax of the night! SNOW PATROL! there was no barrior, there was hardly and pushing and i was RIGHT INFRONT OF GARY LIGHTBODY'S MIC!! it was so ahhh, for one song gary didnt have to sing any of the words...the whole crowd sang how to be dead for him and he said that had never happened before! the bassist paul was taking cigs from the crowd, there was just an amazing vibe in the air. after the gig i got plectrums, set lists, drums sticks (hell yeah!!!) and bob's band pass! man that boy treats me well! i am going to make it into a neclace!anyways, the pictures are going to be brilliant, i'll have to give one to ads. i also got my photo taken with gary, my god i am such a groupie, and a poster signed....gary lightbody pulled a pint for cori! thats sooooooo cool! afterwards bob and i just chilled, talked to tanya colm's gf, who is lovely went to the pub w/ james and george, which was fun, george is such a dear! omg there was this guy at the gig who tried to steal the mic offa gary, he was determined to be on stage, and the band tried out new songs on us for their next album (all of them were fantastic!) and your man was screaming bullshit at the band, then gary threatened to hit him in the face w/ his guitar head!!lol, it was pretty groovy. also bobby bought me an amp!!!!!! yay!!
