'... can't stop cause if feels too good' ~ Libby I'm Listening ~ Blue October
yes Ladies and Gentlemen... you read that right... can i just say... i love this band!!!
and the fact that they sang that live Friday night to a group of really wet... but really happy fans just made it all that much more clear to me... i don't think i truly believed it was going to happen until they came out on stage... i never got that over excited feeling that i normally get... the rain... THE RAIN... the traffic to Austin... there were just so many things that seemed to point to this not happening... right down to the torrential downpour that we drove there in... but we braved the water... had a beer... laughed out the circumstances... decided to find our spot... and low and behold if the sun didn't peak through finally... a double rainbow... stars... and them
*sigh*... and they were so glad that we were there as Justin said... 'I wouldn't have stood out there in that for anything.' but we did... and it was so much more than worth it... and i get in a zone... and i don't even care about anything going on around me... this lady next to me... kept touching my arm telling me she liked watching me... not in a creepy way she was sweet... but don't watch me... the show is on the stage...
there were so many highlights... Sweet and Sombre Pigeon Wings... oh my LORD... the set list... don't ask... i'm terrible at remembering but i do very clearly remember... the feeling of true euphoria that comes over me when they are up there doing what they love...
it was exactly what i needed let me tell you... and the rest of the weekend didn't suk either... random trips to Waco at 3am... our new friend Mark... learning that Hobby Lobby is about to be the next fashion mecca... people watching ~ you'd be surprised the fans of hip hop that we discovered saturday night... we've decided that really drunk girls don't have very good friends... especially if they leave you with your 'posterior' (GREAT WORD Christy!!!) hanging out with two security guards while the ambulance comes to pick you up... laughing with friends... just sharing this thing that i love ~ so much... with others that love it too... i needed that!!!!
did i mention Sweet and Sombre Pigeon Wings???

I don't know about Pigeon Wings but I got a very static-y version of 'Hate Me' and all I heard loud and clear was 2 girls singing the chorus!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteanyone you know?! ;)
I can not begin to tell you the amount of non-dramatic fun I had this weekend!!! YOU make me smile. Well, you, Gage, and Justin : )
ReplyDeleteand as I'm writing this...Walking Shoes came on...viva Wade!
I still get chills and teary eyes thinking of what went thru my viens when I heard the opening chords of Sweet & Somber...
ReplyDeleteThe rain I didn't really mind so much.. But I can guarantee when I saw the double rainbow I saw serenity and knew it was going to just be perfect! It's like opening a Cracker Jack box, wondering what the suprise is going to be...
(Beginning with Independently Happy into HRSA was the PERFECT way to start this show!!!)
September, my dear!
