Music will provide the light you cannot resist

So, this is my loooong overdue Oxegen recap. It feels like both a millenia since it happened, and like it happened yesterday, but it was two and a half weeks ago. I maybe flail about some bands in this recap. Including this little one you've probably never heard of called Panic!!!! at the something or other. I wrote this, like, a couple of days

Panic At The Discoooooooooo, you really do just wander around in a fog of joy after seeing them! I wanna see them again so bad. :(( GUESS WHO I'M NEVER ABLE TO TAKE MY EYES OFF OF (HIS NAME RHYMES WITH KRENDON URIE).

Ireland ;_______;

Every so often I find myself remembering their set, and I just sit here and grin like a loon. How are we so lucky to have them in our lives, and all the insanity and hilarity related to them?

I love reading reviews of bands and festivals and reading flail about how good people I respect were. Im so glad you had a good time. Im really happy panic were good for you, despite tech trouble. Brendon being all concerned is the sweetest thing ever.

Im sitting at warped reading this and giggling over lemur brendon and panic! At the zoo. People around me must think im crazy.

Im waiting for cobra to come on and got gabe hugs earlier! :D

October is going to be the shit, and I have a hard time being motivated in the mornings too *grins*

[bluejbird]

Eeeiii! Gabe hugs! That is so great and I'm glad you had a fantastic time. You deserve it!

I cannot wait until October. Seriously. It's going to be awesome. And lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't get going in the morning- we can motivate each other in Oct, y?

I love love love the energy that's created when so many people's voices and arms and hearts are raised in celebration of this thing called music, called life. It's like lying on the grass and looking up at the stars, feeling so small and insignificant and yet so powerful and important, a vital part of something bigger than me.

YES. EXACTLY.

Oh wow, that is so well put. I loved reading this. LOVED IT. It was like being right back there, remembering all of it nd just, man, I am so glad it was you I got to share that day with. You're coming back next year right?

♥ forever

[bluejbird]

Can we go back in time a couple of weeks and do it all again? Please?

MF yes I'm coming back next year, if you'll let me.

[mintyfiend]

I DEMAND YOUR COMPANY FOR OXEGEN '09!!!!!

I would fight Gerard for Lyn-Z, and I love the man so that's saying something! And I know I'd completely break down if I ever got to hear Northern Downpour live. It must have been amazing. ♥__♥

[bluejbird]

Lyn-Z is amazing! I can't get over how fantastic she was! Gerard is such a lucky man.

I hope you get to hear Northern Downpour live. It was so moving, hearing them sing, getting to sing back at them "You are at the top of my lungs".

[strongplacebo]

It sounds awesome, homie. I'm so glad you had fun and that Panic were PANIC-y.

[bluejbird]

:D How are Panic always amazing?

If they tour here again this year, you're coming back for it, right? RIGHT?

[strongplacebo]

Er. Possibly. Hopefully. Maybe?
