music to my ears
I haven't been this busy outside of exam weeks in a very long time. Yikes, it could be like this all semester!
But I'm happy. I'm going to see Low this Saturday, and my pal Gil is getting me in for free! And I found at least two people who are also Low fans to go with, not easy in this town.
And I've always wanted to go to a Nine Inch Nails concert. I've longed to go to one since I was a freshman in high school and he had this legendary concert in Columbus that my friends went to where he incited the crowd to rip out a thousand seats to make a mosh pit. They did. And he had to pay some huge fine, almost went to jail for starting a riot. I know what some of you are thinking, not sweet ol Alex, not industrial rock. Well indeed, I have many colors, and one of them is blackish gray. And it's just really good music. Anyways, once again I missed a NIN concert in December, sold out before my very eyes. At that point, I was considering driving eight hours to Philly to see them. But just this morning I was perusing myspace (I'm doing that drug too, now) and I randomly saw in someone's comments how they just got tickets to a NIN concert. So I checked, and sure enough they extended their tour and are coming back through Ohio. And there were still coveted floor tix left! So I snagged three right away, and proceeded to pinch myself for the next hour in disbelief. I'm almost ashamed of how excited I am. Almost.
In other news, went to my first rave this past Saturday. It was fun. I think we were the oldest people there. The music was often good, and I had no inhibitions dancing without a sip of alcohol. The glow stick dancing was fun, albeit cliché. And I got to wear neon army pants and red hair. Yes, red hair. I like to think I was a badass. I swear, I'm not regressing. Ok, maybe a wee bit.
