INTERPOL
Interpol were absolutely amazing!!! Snowman (the opening act) was crap, but oh well; they were from Perth after all. Daniela, Mia and I caught the train to Newtown and got there at about 5pm and we waited in line until about 730/8pm. Mia had a shiny sign because she still had to buy a ticket. She bought one for $120 (rip off) and we questioned its legitimacy for a while but she got in so it was all good
So, we were waiting in line and we saw James Blackburn and finally met up with Mickey, who was of course drunk. We finally went in and I saw tom, Mickey and Alston again and then went to sit down.
Mia & Daniela were in the mosh and I was in seating by myself. I went and sat down and about 5 mins later this guy comes in with the usher and sits next to me. There was practically noone else there. We were the only 2 in our row for a while. He was really really nice and quite good-looking too. He was 18 from glebe and has a girlfriend L but that’s ok. He works for a merchandise company and therefore gets to go to lots of gigs. He went to splendour and saw Interpol and bloc party among others and I was very jealous. We talked for like 2 hrs until Interpol came on at about 930 and bitched about all the try-hards and were just being generally cynical. He offered me a drink but he wasn’t having one so I said no. we talked about the blood brothers (who i now just so happen to like) and shared my museli bar. He was very very excited about being there. He kept saying ‘my life has been leading up to this point’ and ‘I’m going to kill myself’ - to which I asked him not to. Hes been to all these VIP parties and pointed out Interpol’s tour manager to me. He also grabbed me a lot and shook me because he was soooo excited. It was a little unnerving at the beginning but then I got over it and was grabbing him too and we danced together. It was great. We took lots of photos and we swapped emails and promised to send each other our photos. I asked him if I could get a photo of him. So its not a great one…. Haha
So, we left, stood outside for a while looking for Mia & Daniela found them, and Mickey et all too. He was smoking. I swear I just got re-addicted to passive smoking last night. We also saw the guy from Expatriate so we said hello and that he was great and we talked for a short amount of time. Then we went to the back alley and waited for Interpol to leave. They didn’t come out and say hello L but we waved to Sam and Daniel as they left in the van
I’m very sad. I miss them, and I totally forget everything
A lovely (*ahem*) pic of Mia and I
