Nooooooo.....!!!!
So I got back from my concert trip today.
The bus rides were fine, almost pleasant even. However, what I didn't take into account was the bus being late, my ex getting off of work late, traffic, parking (or lack thereof), and my ex getting like a mild case of food poisoning or something. All of which resulted in us getting to the venue at like 10pm (show started at 8:30pm) and finding out that Dir en grey had JUST FINISHED playing.
DDDDD:
Apocalyptica was totally badass and completely worth watching but what really made me sad about missing Dir en grey, even though I'm not a big Diru fan to begin with, was that the venue was pretty small and there weren't that many people. I could see the Apocalyptica guys so freaking clearly, and when I thought about how I could have seen Diru that up close it just... yeah. T_T
I was *this* close to jumping on a train and trying to make it to their next show tonight. Except that I have nowhere to stay there. And I'm worried about walking around in shady areas by myself.
*sigh* It's okay. There will be other shows. Hopefully if they play here again next year it'll be just like last night, in a small venue with a somewhat decent crowd.
Aside from that, I only spent like an hour (out of the 2 hour ride) on the bus sniffling and emotionally breaking down because of my ex before I took a nap and everything was peachy keen again. Mind-wiping naps FTW!
All in all, it was a worthwhile experience, despite missing out on seeing Dir en grey. At the very least I'm a bit more confident in taking a bus to some random city to go to a concert, lol. And now I have more respect for guys who rock out way hard on cellos. :3
