i noticed that i've been writing a lot to my LJ account, but i am so vague in my experience and feelings associated. so im changing the style a bit. subjects will be written LAST.
i feel good. my heart is racing and i feel like im out of breath. i think its because ive been busy. keeping myself with the pace of life of a young adult. lately, i've been enjoying exploring the town and city. i think i want to leave seattle with a good memory so i've been finding festivals, concerts, and bars. i appreciate it more when its low-key and local. <3 i dont know why it makes me really happy to find a place with MUSIC.
speaking of, i got a TASTE of what it's like to truly be in an "indie crowd." it reminded me of this cartoon i've seen:
showed 2 people. caption: a typical indie conversation
"i've heard of them, but i havent heard heard of them."
it's so true. being aware of it, i avoided saying it myself- but these cats throw out names as if they were international political figures-- people you should know. maybe if i said "movie stars" that's a bit more relative.
anyways, the venue: someone's basement. 5 bands. theme: birds.
it was artistically beautiful. the energy from the people (~40), the bands, and its fucking live music- man. i get so drawn into it. hearing good live music makes me feel as if it's feeding my soul. my mind and body just gets sucked in to every strum, pick, and kick.
the crowd- i'd say nearly 100% of the people i met were in a band: developing or with record labels. i felt as if i was a music delinquent. how could one have a passion for music, but never played?
but cha know what? there are no laws to music.
that's part of the beauty- its whatever you want it to be. so let it be.
