the many stars that guide us

I am meant to be working on MY LAST TWO PROJECTS OF THE SEMESTER AWW YES but Internet, this entry is overdue! So overdue! I've been to two amazing concerts and had feelings about Glee and Yuletide, always with the Yuletide.

Yuletide: Rough draft is approximately three paragraphs from completion. \o/ Next weekend, I will write ALL OF THE TREATS.

You may have missed the opening act, but trust me, you missed nothing. He was the most generic "purportedly emotional guy with a guitar who sings about his broken heart" I have ever seen in my life. I felt like I was going into a coma. He knew about five chords.

However, TORIIIIIII. Hey Jupiter with strings made me ugly cry. Which means I loved it. But I loved everything! What can I even say? That string quartet is crazy stupid talented. So much top notch musicianship on that stage, it was unreal. But yeah, why were people getting up all the time? Who are you? Pee before the show! You don't need to drink that much!

My only regret is no Spring Haze. She's been doing it with strings this tour. I am heartbroken it did not happen in Boston. Alas.

When NO ONE was talking about the opener on the Internet, I figured missing him wasn't a crisis.

TORIIIIIIIII. I can't even believe her + string quartet. That much talent in one place is just mind-blowing. Also, I agree re: Spring Haze! I love that song! I'm super jealous of the amazing sets that Toronto and Chicago got, but I loved this bizarre setlist of like 800 B-sides and rare songs (or at least that's what it felt like).

The up-and-down people made me wish I could have seen Tori when she first started touring and undoubtedly had more intimate venues. >:(

Seriously! And he said he was from Norway? SING IN NORWEGIAN, IT WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING.

You will come to both next time! I say this because I can see the future.

I looooove "Precious Things" and it's AMAZING with strings. I should clarify in my post that some of the songs she played are My Special Tori Songs, but because she always plays them and/or I've heard them live before, they're just My Special Tori Songs on the album. My head is a complicated place.

♥!

SUEDE CHANGED MY LIFE, OMG. And SIREN. Siiiiiiiiireeeeeeeeeeen. So gooooooooood. (Also a number of these songs are on the setlist that I'm using to structure my big bang? Because I'm a giant nerd.)

Mother and Mrs. Jesus made me cry. And I had a longstanding inability to listen to Hey Jupiter thanks to association with an ex-friend but I think this version redeemed it for me?

Really this was one of the best concerts I've ever been to, period, and I want to polygamously marry the entire quartet.
