I Surrender To You

last night was the SLR/TCF show, and it was pretty damn amazing.
but i'm not gonna lie, i'm pretty bummed that i didn't get to meet Fred or John.


i was THISCLOSE to meeting Fred but i chickened out. he was just walking outside by himself! ughhh, i hate myself for being so shy. i normally don't give a shit about meeting people in bands, but when it comes to those whom i have tremendous admiration and respect for, i do put them on a pedestal. fuck, i didn't even notice him when he was just standing next to me, and Justin had to point him out. oh well, i guess i'll just have to go to more of his shows.
for a new band, The Color Fred was really good. and Straylight Run really did put on a show. i was pretty blown away, and i couldn't take my eyes off of Michelle. hahaha, she's so amazingly beautiful and talented. all the bands were nice and funny. SLR even did 2 additional songs, even though they already ran over their set time.

the show felt SO long. it ran from 7:45 to 11:25. fuuuuuck, i was pretty tired afterwards. dude, indie shows are so different from the shows im used to. everyone just STANDS THERE. the most they do is bop their heads. people don't even sing out loud that much. what the hell?? they're all too nice so you can't push them out of the way or anything.

this girl was really awesome and she let me take her spot, which was the most front & center, for TCF's set :) i got to be under Fred's nose while he sang. <3


the night was great, overall. Justin is definitely one of my favorite people to be in a car conversation with :) the whole night would've been wayyy better if my feet and back didn't hurt from standing still for so long! plus, i'm a grandma on the weekdays. i try to be home by 12am so i can rest up for work the next day. blargh.


i would also like to add that trucks that try to kill me on the street are not cool.
