"I have some fuses in my grave, but I forgot to send them to you BEFORE I DIED! ... 50 YEARS AGO!"
Someone once told me that I always put a disclaimer in front of everything I do, so here's the disclaimer for the TMBG concert write-up I promised nearly two weeks ago: For one, how ridiculous am I for taking so long to post this? Answer: very ridiculous. I wrote the bulk of this last week and dragged out finishing it, but still. Also, it's long.

I've been to other awesome concerts where I saw my favorite artists or that meant a lot to me, and the thing I can't get over about this TMBG show was that while it was all of those things, on top of that it was just a great time. Like, for those few hours nothing else in the world mattered, nothing was problem. I love the Johns so much for giving that to their fans.
I KNOW! No songs from the S/T or Lincoln! It stings even more because I was checking out the other setlists from this tour and I think at the show the night before ours, they played "Ana Ng" AND "Puppet Head"! *iz ded* Like I said, it's all chance. But if they hadn't done the conga number, I wouldn't have moved up closer to the stage and I wouldn't have been able to stick around and meet Flans, so sometimes chance can make for a blessing in disguise. (Ugh, sorry for sounding like a cliche.) It's a bummer that you weren't able to meet him, too, but really it's more important that you were a good friend. I can understand feeling nervous or overwhelmed because of crowds and wanting to head out right away.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, considering how you were there and all, haha. Thanks again for all of your great videos from the show. They really helped to jog my memory about some things I had forgotten. So many people there were recording it and you're one of the few to actually share videos, awesome person that you are.
