Uncanny

Oh how I love those American boys!

That's right, after moving heaven and earth, it finally happened. That is ME ladies and gents, with ANBERLIN!!! Thats right, WITH ANBERLIN!!! I love my life, and I love them.

I can't even begin to describe the joy of last night. Meeting them, shaking Stephen Christian's hand, getting my vinyl signed, taking this picture, and then being front and center as they performed, beautiful. So Anberlin all I have to say is, some things in life are unforgettable, like love, loss, life, and us, some things are undeniable.

Your life is now complete!

What exactly did you think of the show? Here's my take:

Pros:
-Great energy on the part of every single band (especially Jonezetta), with the exception of Meg & Dia
-Molecularly destabilizing bass
-Efficient and quick transitions between bands
-Large venue
-The archetypal bass player for Jonezetta...here's to long hair and steel-toed boots!

Cons:
-Too many douchebags who turned themselves into one man mosh pits
-Wayyyy too much pushing, not nearly enough dancing
-Sound levels for the bass and vocals at times just weren't quite right
-No drinking fountain
-Bayside was rather disappointing live

Green is the Color that Everyone Sees all Around Me

Today I had a meeting with the Professor over the Public Health Internship department at BYU. The following is a conversation that actually happened on my way there. Strange Creepy Guy on Bicycle: Hey how are you doing? Lil Renny: Fine. SCGoB : What is your name? LR : ... Lindsey SCGoB : Oh, well I just wanted to tell you you are a beautiful girl.

Together We're Invincible

If you can't handle the atmosphere of concerts don't go. That is all I have to say. I wish I had said it to the girl standing in front of me at the Muse concert last night. Instead I began plotting her downfall, but since I don't know her name or where she lives, I suppose she has escaped her terrible fate... for now. Aside from her constant rants and shoving backwards, causing me to fall into the people behind me, who then shoved me back into her to illicite her annoyingly dirty looks, the Muse concert was... amazing. This was definitely a very high budget concert. There was a sweet light show, explosions after certain songs, and his guitar was glittery and lit up. Like, an actual light in his guitar. Underneath the spectacular "special effects," you could tell that Matthew Bellamy is a guy who just wants to get out there and rock. So rock he did. On the guitar and the piano. Butterflies and Hurricanes was amazing. I would post a video of it... but it all sounds...

A Tragicomedy of Poetic Verse

If you could please all forgive me, I am taking the time to wax philosophical within this post. So Friday night I went and saw the movie "Stranger than Fiction." This was a highly good film and I would recommend that everyone go see it. Take home made cookies with you too, because you'll want to eat them. The premise of this film, for those of you that don't know, is that the main character, Harold Crick, begins hearing a voice in his head, narrating his life in third person omniscient. The voice is right about a lot of things, and is mainly very annoying until Harold hears the voice say that he is going to die. So, I began thinking about life and death. After all, thats the point of art, to make you think about life and death. So I did. We are all, for the most part going to taste of death at some point on this journey. Death in some form will come to all of us, through the loss of a loved one, or through our own. It will happen, we cannot stop it. So why did it be...
