behold! the first of many long-winded time-wasting summer entries is here!
ooo, ooo, oooo... what a good tour concert. GREAT tour concert. they soundin' real good. but alas and alack, i am not on tour, so i did not have the pleasure of partaking in said concert, nor of boarding the 530 bus headed for sunny mexico with a whole crowd of the greatest people ever.
i suppose there was the exception of singing along from the audience with the Bruce More Encore Standard, Lord I Know I've Been Changed, which might have been slightly obnoxious, but at least i wasn't alone. and i was honoured with the role of Kalyinka in the first half, and apparently turned a rather unique shade of crimson in the process which managed to last until intermission.
(that was actually something i'll never forget.)
then a whooole lot of goodbyes were said, some of them maybe for a very long time. but that was a breeze - i'm great at goodbyes - just great! *COUGH*
then! hadn't finished packing, and had wayyyy too much food left. not enough time to deal with both. solution, bring our friends over and get them to throw whatever we had left in one pot while you pack. consequently, caitlin and coco concocted a curry-licious culinary creation... which we all ate. yummmmmm.
and now i'm home, dehydrated and deflated, for the time being, getting my panties in a knot because a Medicine Hat News journalist has written a whole (biased and ill-informed) article on the connection between the homicides and the goth movement.
and i quote:
"Various sub-cultures have stemmed from the Goth movement, including Satanism, Wiccan and, more commonly in Medicine Hat, Vampirism."
yeah. black clothes + heavy music = satanism. Wicca and Satanism came from Goth. right. devil worship is new! of course. thousands of years of Wiccan practise (as in religious practise) stem from 25 years of Goth.
and my friends are in a hotel drinking american beer in Baker City, Oregon.
WHY!! why didn't i go to Mexico?!
