last night = crazy.
sat around here until six or so when fi finally called. i put my shoes on to go meet her outside and then didn't take them off for the next eighteen hours. i'd just like to point that out right now. met her, marty and nick on the corner and then we came back and met maggie. marty, nick and maggie departed for the franz ferdinand show and fi and i settled in to wait until katy got here.
katy finally got here at like 630 or 7 or whatevah and we were gonna get food but we wasted a lot of time. and then this emo-lookin' kid who goes to my school was all like "are you leaving for the show soon?" and we were like "uh, it doesn't start until nine..." but we ended up leaving at like, 720 just because we didn't have tickets and were afraid it'd sell out. anyway... got there at like, eight, maybe a little earlier. got in fine, waited around FOREVER for the show to start.
uh, tilly and the wall = awesome. favorite live band, hands down. fi got a bunch of pictures, she's supposed to send them to me. they only played for like, a half hour which i was kinda bummed about. but they played my favorite song and they smile the whole time so it made me smile the whole time.
now it's overhead was kind of boring. i wasn't really expecting to be blown away but it was a pretty lengthy forty-five minutes. the singer seemed sort of cracked out. i don't know.
FINALLY at like, 1115, rilo kiley started. oh man. it was so good. they played a lot of new stuff, but they also played the favorites. i nearly lost my voice during "a better son/daughter". that song fucking gets me everytime. jenny lewis is amazing, she makes the craziest faces and after a particularly intense song, she sort of collapsed. after a swig of beer, though, she was ok. don't even worry. oh it was so amazing.
the show ended at like, 1230, and for some reason we didn't get back to my house until like, 230. so then i made robbie come with us, and i let fi drive my car down to u of i. we dropped her off, and it took robbie and me three and a half hours (about) to get back because of traffic on 294. motherfucking 294. took at 855 train back to school and was only 25 minutes late to my philosophy class.
i have a horrible headache right now, and i'm going to go ahead and say it's a rockin' headache. i guess. i'm supposed to meet nirav so we can get some food because i'd like to point out that during the last twenty four hours, i've had animal crackers and graham crackers. and that's it. what's with me and crackers? anyone want to try to figure that one out.
tonight i'm going to see the wrens with josh and i'm pretty excited.
so this was a pretty bad livejournal update. i feel like i'm turning in some horrible piece of writing i did for my english class. but it's only my livejournal. oh well.
