Going to Concerts is My Addiction


To date, I have been to seven shows. 
Arkells - February 21
Hey Ocean - April 8
The Killers - April 27
Green Day (though I went because of The Bravery... *blush*) - July 6
Arkells (Opening for Pilot Speed) - July 18
Blink 182 - July 31
Virgin Fest - August 8 and 9

My cameras have been... difficult, so I only have pictures for the Green Day/Bravery show and VFest. I did take pictures for the other shows, but as my camera is being a lil bitch, I won't be posting them anytime soon.

In any case, here are pictures I took at the Green Day concert. Truth be told, I wasn't going to go to this show because, though I like Green Day, they're not among my favourite bands. However, I check my favourite bands' websites once a week. It's part of my Monday work ritual; it was then that I discovered that The Bravery was opening for Green Day. My gosh...! How I love them!


Sam Endicott is amazing (and not just because he looks like that... swoon). He's so chill and I love his tittering dance--a dance that reminds me of Eon. Hahaha! Anyway, Tre Cool played a nasty prank on him. Sam was just getting into Believe, when Tre Cool set off a bunch of pyrotechnics. Grumble. 

In any case, Green Day came out soon after The Bravery's fantasmic set and I must say, I was hugely entertained! Billy is one hell of a crowd-rouser :) My sister is claiming that this is the best show she has ever been to... Me? I'm officially going to stop making these hyperbolic statements--besides, Green Day has Radiohead to compete against. Now that was an amazing show!






As usual, I was most drawn to the drummer... Quel surprise... Is there ever a time that I'm NOT attracted to the drummer?!?!
Oh Tre Cool. Why are you so... cool? 

In any case, my Bedouin is coming to town in two sleeps. Am I going? Nope. 
Why? Because I have been to seven shows... and tomorrow, it will be EIGHT shows. Not to mention, I was at VFest this weekend and Kings of Leon tomorrow. 

How can I justify another concert this week?

Still, I will miss them. If only a certain drummer was still a prominent member of their trio...

In any case, here's an old-school interview with Pat and Eon. This interview was conducted in 2006 by Bar Shots. Sigh. I miss them!!!!!!! 

"You don't love me, anymore...."

Wow.

My mind's really weird. I'll think one thing one minute, and the next it's as if there's a total stranger wandering around in my brain. I've heard we're all a bit like that. Weird, non? That's why I've decided to keep this blog. We're all weird. So if you can't shut your brain off at night, or you're just as confused by yourself as I am by me (if that makes any sense!), I welcome you to read on and tell me off, agree with me, whatevs. CIAO!

Perspective on my emotional hide and seek.

Most years we quietly celebrate Jenn's birthday; it's just us seven, we have some dinner, and then we go home. For her birthday this year, she asked one of her fellow nurses, Milly, to read our handwriting and interpret our personalities. Milly's interpretation of me was not that far off-base; she inferred that I'm reserved, prideful, loyal, hard-working, stubborn, and creative --- but she also told me that I can come off as "cold". Now, it's interesting to me that what stuck with me most is the fact she called me cold. Not the fact she correctly guessed that I like to feel people out before baring my thoughts to them. Not the fact she told me I'm creative, but am wasting my talents. Nope. What affected me most about her reading is that I can come off as cold to certain people. I've been called so many things in my life (haven't we all?), but the things I've been called in the past have always had a more... well, a positive spin. I...
