Let me wanr you that this entry is very long-winded and boring, especially if you don't care for Keane.
"All I have to say is, this better be one hell of a concert."
Oh, it was.
Caroline comes to pick me up at school, we start driving to the Myth. Already I am hurt by the news that I will not be eating anything this evening. Oh well, I get to see Keane. So here we go, get on the highway, start driving. Everythings fine. White Bear Ave. This is where it all starts. One simple letter on the directions. Take Country Rd. E. Sure, ok. There is no county rd. E down here, we must have made a wrong turn. We go back, and find county rd. E. Find Southlawn drive. We can't find Southlawn drive. This results in Caroline breaking down and getting upset and angry, and as I'm sure most of you know, it's very awkward to be in a car when caroline is upset, and not to mention driving. We get ahold of Dudesie (finally) and he (frustratingly) gives us directions from where we are, and we then discover after some time, that it was infact county rd. D that we were supposed to take, not E. Those directions screwed us over.
We get to the Myth, and there is a huge line. HUGE. we wait, and take some time to calm down. Finally we are all calmed, and we hear: "No Cameras." I told Caroline to put the camera in her purse, and of course she suggests that I put it in my inside pocket, cause no one will see it. Stupid. When the guy pats us down, of course he feels it and says I have to go back to the car and put it away. After some reasoning, I get to leave it at the ticket booth. Then we get inside. Trashy club, the Myth. Shirts are 30 dollars, which doesn't really matter to me, because I am completely broke right now, I can't even buy one.
Then we're standing around forever waiting for it to start. We move around, and jimmy our way through the crowd so we can get closer. Then Comes the opening act. I have one thing you say to you Rocca deLucca: You SUCK. I want that half hour of my life back.
Then Keane doesn't come on until 9. We see Tim Rice-Oxley come onto stage and start out with "Iron Sea." It's amazing how hott that man is, especially in those oh so tight pants. Then we see Tom, and Richard. Oh my god. This concert is amazing. We decide that Tom is actually Harry Potter. After about an hour and a half, they're done, and we wait around a little while, Caroline says some bands come out and talk to fans after small club shows. Doesn't look like anythings going to happen, and so we get ready to leave, and then we see a bunch of people congregated outside over by the buses. They think that Keane's going to come out.
So...we decide, it won't hurt to wait a little while and see if they come out. So we wait and we wait, and then we decide, if they're not out here in 5 minutes, then we're leaving. Psh, that never happened. Then we get an announcement that they'll be out in 20 minutes. oh my god, we're gonna meet Keane! Then ten minutes later, we see Tim Rice-Oxley over about 50 ft away siging autographs and taking pictures. After about 10 more minutes, Tom Chaplin and Richard Hughes. Then when Tim finally gets to us, we're amazed. This is him. We get pictures with him, and tell him he's more fun to watch than Chris Martin, and then we chat about chris for a minute or two. Then about 5 minutes later Tom comes over. "We don't have anything for you to sign." It's alright he says, do you want a picture! Yes! We pose for a picture and he puts his arm around me and I put mine around his waist, and he says "Oh, you're shivering!" He's so awesome!
Then five minutes later, Richard Comes over and we get pictures with him, and I tell him he's cooler than Ringo Starr, and then we got to talk to him about some of the beatles. He was actually pretty awesome.
So...then we get home at about 12:45, needless to say, our parents were pissed. But who cares, we met Keane!!!!
EDIT: I forgot to add (one of) the hightlight of my day. I was walking down the hall at school, and saw a senior "woman" wearing her sweatshirt and I thought it said WANK.
