Why is it that all the festivals suddenly seem like such a good idea? I dunno, it would have to be the year I’m extremely poor as hell.
Fucking Reading/Leeds lineup, it’s actually remotely half decent. I just KNEW this would happen. Fucking fucks.
*sigh*
I dreamt that I saw Ours play live.
God damn dreams teasing me.
I thought people were joking on twitter when there was talk of seeing Muse at the cinema. I mean what sort of a crazy idea is that?…
Of course an idea crazy enough to actually work…
You see months and months ago we had all found ourselves at Wembley Stadium, not once, oh no, but twice to watch Muse play in all their glory in the biggest venue to date. And now…we were planning to watch it all again, in high def (ultra realism) surround sound action at the cinema..(then afterwards..because we’re all sad like that…we’re probably going to fork out to buy the dvd after too. Ha.)
So originally Stu was twittering asking me down to the London showing but I didn’t know if I was working and going to London at such a short notice just for a day with no where to stay was just not doable for me. Then Gem pipped up and it so turns out there’s a Leeds showing too. This was more doable for me because there was a better likelihood of somewhere to stay annddd it was easier to get to etc. So after checking I wasn’t working on Tuesday I decided I was so there.
Somewhat extremely very belated, this is a tale about when I went to London to hang about with Stephie and go see Silverchair play for the first time ever. Woo!
It all happened last summer sometime between Stu’s house warming weekend and Leeds festival. Though it had been planned way way before all this when it was first announced Silverchair were touring again. I was determined to go see them and found it hard to find someone to go with, though in the end I planned the trip with Stephie as she wanted to go see them too.
Many many weeks later and it so turned out that Bob was also going, because Stephie was buying him a ticket for some reason - oh yeah because of the after show party stuff…anyway so yeah she brought him a ticket to go. Though I found that particularly odd as there I was having to buy my own ticket when Bob had his brought for and I was the one that liked them! Heh typical…Oh and at the last minute Kev had decided to come too. Though by then tickets had sold out, but he’d sourced a spare one via Scarlett mist, so that was cool.
So come one sunny Friday afternoon…and I’m waiting for my train at the station as per usual…
So the other weekend I went to see the Mexicolas. Well a lot of other stuff happened before that point though. I mean my bad karma was still going on since I killed that pigeon…
Everyone is going crazy because there’s suddenly Muse gigs to go to. Well okay more like a festival and a charity gig. But alas it’s shot a spark of life into everyone.
The tickets for the charity gig go on sale at 10am today, alas due to my current status I can’t get tickets anyway, so would need someone else to sort it. Well okay, namely Bob ha. Thing was…I feel like the only person who isn’t remotely excited or moved by these possible gigs. It’s like I would got way more excited if it had been say Nine inch nails or Porcupine Tree playing, I wonder why this is?
The other one is that Muse area headlining V Fest. Quite a few people are hyped up for that one yet again and I don’t feel anything for it. Maybe I’m being rather passive or something? Or maybe if it had been Reading or Leeds again I would have thought Ooo more, as V fest is okayyy, I’ll consider daytripping, but then again if it’s the usual good bunch that are going then I’m sure it will be a super laugh. So I dunno…
Andddd there’s also Download, which has an odd line up and the headlinners are a bit well not pants just two out of three I wouldn’t say should be headlinning. Then again I would go see Motorhead and incubus..so it’s a bit of a mix…I don’t know about going, I know a few people going already but I’m not sure if I’d feel a certain sense of alienation due to not knowing everyone etc etc. Not that’s ever stopped me in a social situation, but you know, it’s like I have to go to a festival with lots and lots of people I know and get on well with. Yada yada.
Anyway, how do I decide what to do when it would cost in excess of £200 quid for a weekend fest? And I have debts to contend with at current.
