So Rilo Kiley played at the Lido yesterday. I haven't been there before, but i love the place now. It has the perfect size for a band like Rilo Kiley.
Things I wanted to tell you about the show (other than that it was awesome!):
- Did you notice her outfit? It's adorable!
- Before they started playing 15, Jenny Lewis asked if anyone in the audience was fifteen. One of the very excited first-row-fan-girls standing in front of me screamed "I can be if you want me too!", which Jenny repeated into the microphone. The girl who had screamed this was maybe 16 or 17, and jumping up and down at this point. Cute.
- The new album Under the Blacklight will not come out here until october. So when the played the first song out of it, they recommended downloading it off the net for free.
- The only thing that was a little disappointing: They did not play Papillon or The Frug.
- Thanks to the "burst mode" of my crappy camera i took a ton of pictures (211 to be exact).
I have been tagged with yet another taggy thing by Socky. I think I am supposed to write this: "Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about -- it can be anything from my favorite shirt to my cell phone. Leave your requests as a comment to this entry, and I'll take the pictures and post them." (I am a little scared of this one, but try to shock me) In other news, I went to the Tegan & Sara concert yesterday. I pretty much forgot to take pictures because my camera was annoying me, but it was great. I'm not really into their newer stuff that much, but they are good live. Also i met Amy, yay! That was really nice. The rest of the audience was very gay too, of course. And there were some emo-looking boys. With bangs. Crying I assume. Anyways here are the two pictures i took that actually turned out ok-ish.
i'm kind of late with this, i hope i'll find someone to tag..
These are the rules:
1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. 4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. 5. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
1) i like birds. i even feel sorry for the pigeons in the city, because they often have crippled feet.
2) if i could choose to live in any city of the world for one year starting today, i would pick istanbul.
3) i love going to cafés, but i've come to hate most of the coffee chains. i think starbucks is a waste for someone who actually likes the taste and smell of coffee.
4) my sister is the only reason i know any gossip at all. i know secrets though.
5) i am definitely one of those people whose state of mind is reflected in the state of their room. if my head is a mess, my appartment is too. there could be a mathematical equation in that somewhere.
6) i will never find out though, because i am ignorant when it comes to mathematics. i refused to learn it in high school after 9th grade. that is no exaggeration. the new math books i got in the beginning of the year were untouched the next summer when i gave them back.
7) i will try every social networking tool on the internet, at least for a short time, but i lose interest fast.
8) i had an obsession with tools when i was a kid. or every toy that was a realistic miniature replica of something. i didn't like anything that was made with wrong proportions or was decorated for kids (pink hair dryers for dolls? ew ). i also liked playmobil better than lego.
i also tag persona, evaini and pippi who have no blogs yet *hint* (maybe you can post your facts in the comments section . . . or if you don't want to just tell me to leave you alone) i can't think of anyone else right now.
Todays film: Be with me by Eric Khoo. I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago in the theatre. I'm not usually someone who cries at movies, but i was sobbing at the end of this film. If you get the chance, go watch it on a big screen, it's awesome and beautiful and very touching in a non-cheesy way. And if that's not enough reason to watch it, know that there are gay girls in this movie too ;)
