last night: went to decemberists concert. very glad dane convinced me. i got a free month pass at the concert hall. some girl just gave it to me. i never saw who it was, just heard her voice. i never got to thank her.
before decemberists: "lavendar"...something. i told dane the group looked like a
bunch of old men who found a cute little girl to sing for them. the old men were super cool. the drummer, precise, intense, intentional, two long dark braids (sorta native american style...though he looked more italian or irish or something). the pianist, good as far as i could tell; had bit mop of stringy greying hair; reminded me of the dog with the floppy ears from the muppets. and the guitarist was older too, not particularly striking. she, the vocalist, on the other hand, was either one of those girls who tries too hard to be cute by talking in a sweet little voice and doing half-assed ballet on stage...or she was high. i'm starting to think a combination of the two. good voice, just kinda annoying. weak lyrics.
but then, what do i know about music?
anywho. decemberists were incredible. i should go to more concerts. i fell in love again. (hehe...
not quite. but i really enjoyed them). 'twas super fun.
there were four kinds of people at the concert: 1) the people who love the music (of all ages - lots of "old" people); 2)old people trying to be young and hip, looking really out of place and
not quite enjoying themselves; 3) drunk guys who just wanted a party and thought a concert was a good way to go (they were funny, till they started jumping around on my feet); 4) girls who paid 20 euros to get into a concert and then proceed to talk as loudly and annoyingly as they could and push through the crowd to talk to other people they knew around
them and occasionallydance with elbows and knees flying everywhere, completely ignoring the bands that were playing (some guy behind us finally got pissed off enough to tell them not-so-politely to shut the hell up - they walked away muttering about how rude people can be).
now i'm going to dye my hair back to blonde. shower. pack for berlin. cook for the kids. and leave for 10 days! woohoo!
cheers.

amanda amanda amanda. your blog and your stories are the best in the community.
La verdad que si. Me gusta como escribes. mayormente. Have fun in Berlin!! And you're dying your hair blonde again? Roots? or Luuk?
I'm guessing it was Luuk Carmela. I think you should have gone something crazy like black or dark brown to really throw him off! And the next time I go to a concert I'm bringing duct tape for annoying b*%@%#% that don't shut up while the band is playing.
My security word is aqui.
seriously you guys. it was the roots (but i secretly hope it was me as well ;))
berlin? that's cool... i'll be there at the end of march
