this is the way I want you to look in my mind
Snow Patrol on Wednesday night was all kinds of awesome. Ok Go and Silver Sun Pick-Ups (who I'd never heard of before but will now have to look into) opened and they were both great. Especially considering I had no idea who was even opening and that often turns out badly. I'm not usually all that into stadium shows 'cause you're usually so far away that you might as well just be watching it on tv, but we were in one of the front sections on the floor so still close enough to see Gary grinning.
And, the grinning, oh the grinning. Sometimes I forget but how much of a crush I have on Gary and his grinning and flailing about on stage. But OMG. I still really really do. One of the first songs they played was Spitting Games and Gary did his holding his arms open wide to "and the floodgates opened up" just like he did when I saw them last year and in every clip of them playing that live I've seen and I bounced up and down and clapped my hands and turned to catling42 squealing "See! See! he does that every time. OMG I love him so much."
Yeah. It was awesome.

Name your top six TV shows right now, before reading the questions.
1. Supernatural
2. Friday Night Lights
3. Heroes
4. The Black Donnellys
5. Battlestar Galactica
6. Veronica Mars
I'm assuming right now means airing right now 'cause otherwise Firefly would be #3, Northern Exposure would be #4 and BSG and VM would be not there.
01. Who is your favourite character from #2? (FNL)
Tim Riggins. Hands down.
02. Who is your least favourite character from #4? (TBD)
Joey Ice Cream. The narration was spot in in the pilot but it's getting old at this point.
03. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include? (SPN & BSG)
Um, time travel and cracktasticness? I would love love love to see Starbuck and Dean in the same room together, though. So, Starbuck in the SPN 'verse, like maybe when she flies back to Caprica she gets sucked into a wormhole or something and is all grumpy in a a bar somewhere 'cause she can't get back and in comes Dean and there is snark and it is awesome.
04. Who is your favourite ship from #6? (VM)
Logan/Veronica. Especially from S1 and 2. I mean I still like them now but those were the good old days.
05. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be? (Heroes & VM)
Hiro and Dick 'cause it would be fucking hilarious.
06. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do? (TBD)
Kevin. Though I love Tommy I think Kevin would be more fun to hang out with as long as I keep him away from card games.
07. If you could change one thing about #2's plot line, what would you change?
Nothing. Seriously. There is really no way FNL could be anymore awesome. That said if I could add one thing it would be more Tim and Billy scenes 'cause I do love those Riggins boys.
08. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them. (BSG)
Kara/Lee. I love them because they are so fucking dysfunctional and doomed.
09. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be? (SPN & Heroes)
I don't even know who the lead title character for Heroes is but there is no way I'd pick anyone from Heroes over Sam.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose? (TBD)
Um, what difference does it make?
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like, and what would their role be?
How about bring back Lamb or Kendall.
12. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2? (FNL)
I really don't know what my favorite FNL ep is. I do really like Tim hustling pool with his dad, though, and any time Tim and Billy are being brothers and annoying each other and/or being affectionate in stupid boy ways (like the shopping and the peas on Tim's black eye). Oh, and Tim, Jason, Matt and Smash on the field from last week. Basically anything with Tim. And I don't think I can pick a favorite.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters in #1, who would it be and how would you do it? (SPN)
NOOOOOOOOOO! We shall not speak of it. gah. If there has to be death I pick both of them in a Butch and Sundance ending but lets have that be at the end of season 7.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose? (Heroes, BSG)
Eh, visiting sets doesn't really interest me. Heroes I guess.
15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Date, eh? That's tough 'cause the characters I would most like to fuck are the worst possible boyfriend choices. So one night stand. Dean, of course. And date hmm, Sam or Matt Saracen (but, you know, not at 16).
Also, hilarious bits of dialog from Ten Inch Hero. I can't wait to see this on screen. (& yeah it's spoilery I suppose but not anymore than a preview would be.)
And, the grinning, oh the grinning. Sometimes I forget but how much of a crush I have on Gary and his grinning and flailing about on stage. But OMG. I still really really do. One of the first songs they played was Spitting Games and Gary did his holding his arms open wide to "and the floodgates opened up" just like he did when I saw them last year and in every clip of them playing that live I've seen and I bounced up and down and clapped my hands and turned to catling42 squealing "See!
