This video is of the first two songs at the Guildhall on Monday. There are others popping up now, and some from London on Tuesday (which was also excellent), but the person who filmed the linked vid appears to have been standing three or four people to my right and maybe a couple forward, because that is damn near my view of the stage. Heh ( Read more... )

I realised today that I am running about a week behind myself mentally, and thus the upcoming Green Day concert is... in two days holy shit. And I have made absolutely no arrangements for anything (other than a ticket, because, duh ( Read more... )

Back-to-back gigs that involve me standing up the entire time, plus walking a decent bit in the daytime between, are a really fucking bad idea apparently. Last night's drunken shenanigans were the result of having gone down (to) the Swan, the local pub what's a music venue, and thoroughly enjoying the bar band that played. We only sprang for a ( Read more... )

I got home about an hour ago. The party was a lot of fun. The band that played the last time was there - the guitarist is Teresa's cousin - and when the bass player was goofing around with a bunch of us in between sets and asking for requests I was drunk enough to tell him Green Day was my favourite band, so for a kiss they played When I Come ( Read more... )

The farewell dinner went fantastically and it even managed to be a surprise, as intended! Jeff is a Christmas nut, constantly reminding everyone how many days until Christmas, and she's got her end of the team trained so that if she goes, "Fa la la," they finish with "La la la la." *giggles* So...we put up Christmas decorations and a little tree ( Read more... )

I typed "handbanger" in there first and just DIED laughing at myself. *giggles* No, there was no hand--er, anything at the concert, unless you count that the guy behind me was clapping so enthusiastically that he caught my hair a couple of times. It was FUN! I had put in for VTO as it was quiet, but since it was such a gorgeous day so did ( Read more... )

I managed to avoid the crankies today. Largely via headphones and the volume dial on my discman. ;-) If I can't hear anyone, they can't piss me off! I also had a randomly good hair day and felt sufficiently pervy enough to stand in my bathroom with a camera (b/c that's the only place with bright light in my space, lol), so I took some pix of me ( Read more... )

Today was sooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooong, ugh. Extremely slow/boring days when you are tired are the worst. Days like that I actually miss working in a busy coffee shop like I did in university, where at least you're too busy to even notice that you're tired. *le sigh*

But! Came home to concrete travel plans for mockingbird39 coming to visit me and an ( Read more... )

That's the band whose CD release party/gig I went to tonight. Another band and Emm Gryner opened for them. The sweet thing was that if you bought the CD, the bar cover charge was waived, and since I'd planned to get it anyway that was extra cool. I was going to share a couple songs but I left the CD in the car, lol ( Read more... )

I was talking about chicken soup when that exited my mouth, but it made me laugh. Wouldn't be a terrible life motto, I suppose. lol ( Read more... )
