The Snow Patrol concert was yesterday and it was so great!
Adam and his friend were driving in from Ottawa, and Rebecca made this plan where he'd pick us up at my house, and then we'd go out for dinner in like, China Town, and then we'd make our way to the concert. So while Rebecca was getting dressed, I was chilling in her room listening to her freak out about how she really didn't want to eat dinner with them. She thought Adam was the biggest freak and so I made a list of ice breakers/conversation starters to get us through the night.
But then Adam and his friend (Kyle) got stuck in traffic, so they only came to pick us up at like, 6:30, so we forgot about dinner and tried to get to the venue. OKAY. We went fifteen minutes past LaRonde before someone said, "Uh, I think we missed the turn." Yeah, they were right. So we drove around for like an hour. (Hah, when I first got into the car, I looked down, and there were two half-empty bottles of tequila on the floor. I tried really hard not to freak out. Also, Kyle was smoking something that did not look like a cigarette. The paper around it was all brown, and it sort of smelled like a strawberry. I don't know anything about this stuff.) Anyhoo. We got really lost and it was really awkward and then we found parking in some garage somewhere and we parked and then walked to the venue. And we got there and pushed our way to the front.
People from school saw me (Stacy, Alix, Arielle, and Arielle's sister) and they came and said hi which was nice of them. I was looking to see if I knew anyone and I so didn't see them. But meh. Then Silversun Pickups came on and they were alright. I really enjoyed it when the girl in the band would sing, because I liked her voice the best.
Next was Ok Go! They were so cool. They had these videos being projected onto a screen behind them which was annoying as fuck. I found that they were really trying too hard to be "gimmicky". I don't know. I still really enjoyed them even though they didn't play A Million Ways or You're So Damn Hot. They did play Oh Lately It's So Quiet, which is my love.
SNOW PATROL! Alright, I wasn't a huge fan BEFORE the concert, but now I for sure am. Seriously. They sounded great, their lyrics are amazing and they just put on a really good show. I must get some Snow Patrol now. My favorite songs of the night: Chocolate, Hands Open (was that the name?), Set Fire to the Third Bar (a girl from the audience replaced Martha Wainwright), and something else I can't remember. But every song was beautiful. And they played for so long and I never wanted it to end. Also, the lead singer was pretty to look at.
And we almost partied with Snow Patrol. Okay, I don't really know what that means, but Adam met some of his Ottawa people (just randomly) and they were like, "Yeah, after we're going to party with Snow Patrol. Wanna come?" And Adam turned to Rebecca, who was next to him and said, "Uh. Yeah we're partying with Snow Patrol after." But we actually couldn't, because Adam and Kyle had to go home because Kyle had to work this morning. His job is to stand at the bottom of the chairlift and make sure people get on properly. So if we had gone to meet them, there for sure would have been a headline in the newspaper that said, "80 People Pile Up At the Bottom of Chairlift." You know it's true.
Hm, then the concert ended, we started driving home, we didn't get lost. Then we stopped and ate pizza at one in the morning and it was so much fun. I honestly enjoyed hanging out with Adam and his friend, which is really a good thing, because I'd only ever been in Adam's presence for half an hour tops, but I've spoken to him almost every day on MSN since. And Kyle was not awkward at all.
Then they drove us home and we went to sleep. It was so much fun. I don't know what Rebecca was freaking out about. Hm, I hope we can all organize that again. |
