not a real threat, I would never try to ruin a beautiful thing like a church show. I will love whatever they play. I was just messin wit ya.
Actually I will be at the Annapolis gig (Rams Head Tavern) on June 30. I wish they were coming to Austin, where I live (they were here in 04 and 06 and I saw both of those) but it gives me a reason to go back to Annapolis to visit my family. I grew up there so it's like dos pajaros con una piedra if you know what I mean. I saw them at the Ram back in 02 for AENT and that was a wonderful little show that was semi acoustic and a little sedated. I would go see them in Virginia and Philly too but I just cant make all of those shows. Both of those venues are real nice.
No worries though, I will be quiet and happy as a cat who had the cream during the show. I'm bringing a friend who digs them a little bit (he's open minded just not too familiar outside of starfish and FY both of which he likes) and my 21 year old cousin who is a big music lover and very excited to see the show (possible convert!) . They will both be blown away I'm sure. I have been working so hard and not having enough fun lately and I am just thrilled to be at the Ram with friends, a bottle or 2 of vino, and the best band in the world right in front of us.
So, while I'd love to hear Cobalt Blue very much, I won't do anything but start a drunken rumble after the show is over. I will only punch geeky looking fans. So that means I'll be busy.
JK, I love all church fans and would rather just party with them. I'll just go outside and start punching people who didn't attend the show. There now, everybody wins...
or perhaps I'll just take half a zan bar with my pinner of danky right before the show. A couple of glasses of wine later and I'm afraid punching people is out of the question. I hope the band stays for drinks or does a little mingling. Im always too shy to really approach them. I've been to like 20 shows where they make themselves available to the fans. One time I shook Marty's hand and told him what a big fan I was (AENT tour 02 at the Ram) and he said something like "great...dont rip my hand off". Then one time in 04 SXSW show at Elysium in Austin I just walked up to Kilbey shook his hand and nodded my head and moved on. He looked as if he was going to say hi or something but I just patted his shoulder and walked away. They are just normal people like us but it's still very strange to be in their presence. I never want to come across as an over eager fan so I just sit back and watch others do it. And the band IS really approachable. I was the same way when in the presence of Paul Simon backstage at the Erwin center in Austin. I just said "wow it's great to meet you, my father introduced me to your music when I was young and I'll always love it". He actually seemed very appreciative of the comment and asked me my name and where I was from! I told him and said "really great to meet you" and moved on. I wasn't going to stand there and rap with him because he doesn't know who the hell I am but it seemed as if he would have stood there and talked to me more. I have always thought that was so cool that such a famous person seemed real casual and very normal to an everyman like me. It's hard to put into perspective sometimes. I guess if I hung around famous people more often, that barrier would go away but as it is it's just not too often that opportunity arises. Since I'm not famous I've always been a little sensitive to the issues famous people face when out among the public and especially among people that idolize them. I've always tried to respect that it can be uncomfortable, embarrasing, or annoying for them at times. Anyway, I've rambled long enough about nothing. SEE YA AT THE SHOW!
