all the best dj's are saving the slowest song for last

yesterday i went to a concert in buffalo with my friend james. im not really a concert going kind of girl.. im usually perfectly content with bands playing in my ears through a little rectangular box we call the i pod. i dont need to be surrounded by other fans, especially when they are screaming the lyrics to the songs.. i didn't come to listen to you sing, i want to hear the band. so yup, i much enjoy listening to even my favourite music on a cd, ipod or computer. but anyways i was invited to a concert, i knew little music from the band but more took it as an opportunity to hang out with a good friend. so we went to see jimmy eat world, james loves them - im pretty sure they are his favourite band.

we left around 5:30, doors opened at 7pm. i must say, im a little impressed, after parking the car we heard bells chime from a clock tower near the venue, exactly 7:00, nice job james. we still had to wait in line and i had a slightly awkward experience of some girl whispering in my that she liked my jeans. and she asked me if there was a specific name for them.. umm skinny jeans? 

the venue was fairly small, it was called the town ballroom, no seats, all standing. you know what sucks, being my height at a concert. im not short, im like 5'5, but apparently tall people dont see me and therefore assume im not there or something. or maybe tall people travel in flocks and the flock just decided to crowd around the front and centre last night. so due to my height, i was unable to get any pictures, any i did get, james took for me since he is significantly taller - but they turned out blurry. 

the opening band was really good! a band called civil twilight.. its pretty sweet, they are from south africa. this song is amazing. they were on for maybe 40 minutes than jimmy eat world! jimmy eat world was better than i would have expected (remember im not a concert person). the few songs i know and love by them, they played. the ones i didn't know, were pretty good.

james got a shirt.  

so crossing the border was nothing, concert was great, tall people kind of ruin view of bands for me, birkenstocks are a good shoe to wear when standing for 3.5 hours and sometimes large groups of people smell.

ohh and on the way back home we stopped at a tops to get water and that was a bit interesting lol. there was a random frog noise, like a loud ribbit, ribbit, coming from the entrance. it was too loud to be coming from a real frog, i was confused.

ohh and now i can't wait too see death cab for cutie in concert in july!! 

due to lack of pictures, here are music from the two bands
