the soundtrack of my life
YO!sers...
so i just wanted to let ya'll know... cimone and i went to the sarah concert this past friday in san jose... it was pretty fucking amazing...
so yeah. at first i wasn't sure if i was able to go since i had some friends in town, and i wasn't sure if they were going to crash with me on friday night... so i was pleased, yet disappointed, when they told me they were going to crash with someone else on friday. cause ya know, having visitors is good, but then again, it was sarah! the goddess! after i took them to the muni line at 2 i immediately went home and hopped on the internet, namely, craigslist.
craigslist is great, i love craigslist. there were quite a few postings of folks trying to sell their tickets due to last minute cancellations, and so i was able to be picky and choose the better of the tickets. there were a bunch of floor seats that folks were giving up and within 5 minutes i found them all, and after sending out a few emails and making a few calls, someone had called me back within 10 minutes. we made plans to meet within the hour and so i had the tickets in my hands about an hour after i had begun searching. which was great, since i wasn't planning on going anyway, and yet i was able to score floor seats, [row 22] in a small amount of time. yeah!
so yeah. cimone picked me up from the macarthur bart, and we drove down to san jose. it was great driving, it made me realize how much i missed zooming in and out of traffic, driving all fast and crazy. and, to build up the anticipation, cimone and i were listening to a tape theary made me a few years ago of all the best sarah songs. so you can only imagine how excited i was, driving really fast, singing unabashedly loud to sarah. heh.
and yeah, we were worried about getting there late due to traffic and such, but we made it in perfect time. anyway, sarah sang 25 or so songs, coming from fumbling, surfacing and afterglow. it was great to hear all the old favorites in addition to the good new stuff. during the whole time i was in shock and yelling and clapping only fueled my excitement. the set was amazing, it kept changing pretty colors and had different designs to complement whatever song she was singing. yeah. there were moments when i was ready to cry, her voice was so beautiful and the emotion coming from it was so raw and moving. sigh. reminded me again why she was the goddess and how her music is the soundtrack to my life.
cimone and i were reflecting afterwards, and it felt very poignant that we saw her after 5 long years. i mean, lilith fair was 5 years ago this month and it was just crazy to think of all that's happened since then. maybe i'm reading too much into it, but it just feels all so symbolic. there she was, 5 years ago, to mark that whole phase in our lives, and here she is again, to mark what's to come. that, in addition to mark how far we've grown and shit... it's like, damn... we've grown up, yo... wow...
