(no subject)
and now, for a much happier livejournal entry...
last night i saw barenaked ladies live for the first time since, um... 2000. since it was a holiday show, i didn't have very high expectations... i thought it was going to be all songs from barenaked for the holidays with like 4 actual songs thrown in. (of course, i had to go anyway, because they were playing like 5 minutes from campus, and this is the first time they'd been in tucson since 1992.)
anyway, it far, far exceeded my expectations. some song highlights:
-a (i've pretty much been waiting to hear this song live since the first time i heard it)
-alcohol
-wrap your arms around me
-baby seat
-conventioneers
-some fantastic
-brian wilson
-old apartment
-feliz navidad with everyone playing someone else's instrument
-the complete lack of chimps (come to think of it, they didn't play a single song from e2e)
haha... overall, i was pretty easily pleased last night. i also enjoyed rejecting the woman in front of me when she offered a handful of macaroni to me at the beginning of $1000000. on second thought, i should have taken it and just thrown it at her head.
so, i've been going to BNL concerts for seven years and before last night, had never met them. (although unlike some of you crazies, this was only my 5th concert.) last night jamie and i were pretty much determined to meet them. of course it decided to actually rain and get cold last night for the first time since... well, last winter. i know, i'm a wimp. but we got to meet kevin, tyler, ed, and jim. no steve. we actually saw kev signing stuff in the lobby before the show, so he signed our tickets then. so when he came by to sign stuff after the show, we were like "you already signed our ticket but can we get a picture?" and as soon as we said that, his phone rang and he ran off to take the call... for the next, like, 45 minutes. but then he came back and took pictures.
the greatest moment ever was when i was getting my picture with ed. jamie did something weird to the settings on my camera so she kept taking the picture and it kept coming out weird, so ed's standing there with his arm around me and says "that's ok, we'll just cuddle til you get it right." for those of you who don't know, i've pretty much been enamored with ed robertson since i was 14 years old, so that was pretty hot.
anyway...
opening with a choir from a local elementary school:
ed on drums, tyler on vocals, kevin on bass, jim on keyboards, and steve on... well, guitar:
i pretty much love ed's hair:
what is my hair doing? no one knows...
i have been waiting for this moment since i was 14 (yeah, i know i'm pathetic):
i'm not putting in the picture with kev because it's actually the worst picture of me ever. but i still love it. just not enough to show it to the world.
