tsukikageBnL concert was excellent. Mike Doughty was also quite excellent. I'm so glad I went. Smiled so hard my cheeks started to hurt. ^___^
I will say one thing, though: I. Hate. Encores. I hate how they've become 100% expected. If I ever start a band, I'm going to make a policy that whether we do an encore or not is going to decided by... I don't know... Rock paper scissors. But we won't do two of them at every concert we have.
It also makes me sad to think that artists feel that they have to play certain songs at every one of their concerts. I wonder if they've gotten sick of If I Had $1000000, if only because they've played it a million times. And it's such a good song too, which is why they shouldn't have to play it at every single concert. (Of course, I'm making assumptions that perhaps I shouldn't be making.)
One pet peeve: I asked at the purchase table thingie about how bootleg downloads would work. First guy didn't know what I was talking about. Second guy seemed to imply that we could only get them on the $25 USB sticks, so I handed over my money to get a wristband to get my USB stick at the end of the show. Show ends, I go to wait to get my USB stick, and I find that they do indeed have redemption coupons for downloading the concert online, and they're only $14. On the plus side, I asked one of the workers there (hopefully politely) if I could trade my wristband for a redemption coupon and get my $11 back, and he let me, so that's good. I can't wait until the download is available. :)
I also really wanted to get a tour t-shirt, but I decided to be slightly more fiscally responsible. Besides, isn't the bootleg the best way to remember the show anyway?
P.S. To the people who replied to my poll, I know I didn't ask for it in the original post, but can you guys give me your reasoning for recommending what you did, if it exists?
P.P.S. Come to think of it... I should get me some BnL icons, assuming there are any good ones out there.
Now, it's time to study.
Oh yes! I almost forgot, me and the 'rents are most likely going up north over Thanksgiving weekend, probably to Duluth. Yay!!! (I will admit, I was kinda hoping to put my nose to the grind as far as JLPT studying over Thanksgiving weekend, but as Ann (or was it Dad?) said... I have a tendency to not schedule any relaxation time and then not do any work anyway, so I'm just gonna enjoy myself and try my best to work hard during the down times. Besides, I haven't gone camping or even been on vacation at all this summer, and I feel like I've really needed it, so this'll be nice.)
P.P.P.(P.?)S. Yay for soup with 15 calories and 29% RDA of sodium. ^^;
