So last night, Suz and I went to see Marié Digby at Kilby Court and it was amazing!!! Neither of us had ever really been to that small of a venue before...we really liked it. It was such an intimate setting and we were right up in the front the whole time. Yeah, we were totally rockin to the music. The guy that opened - Eric Hutchinson - was awesome and FuNkY! While he was performing, he was having a secret contest to see who had the most enthusiasm in the audience, and he picked me! So I got a free cd! woo! That was pretty sweet. I fell in love with Marié's acoustic guitar...it was a custom Gibson with a beautiful pick guard, fret board, and sound. Her and her band totally rocked...music is so much better live! She is so talented - she rocked out on the guitar, the piano, and her voice is amazing. After, Suzy and I met her and I felt like a total idiot because I was so nervous. Isn't that so weird how that happens? You just don't know what to say... you want to tell them "I love you, man! You rock! I love your music! blah blah..." but then everyone says those things and you don't want to be trite. So then you want to say something interesting or witty or funny, but then it just ends up being awkward. Anyway, I thought it went pretty well, and she was way nice probably because she could sense my nervousness. Oh, and she signed my guitar strap! Hooray!!! Even though she's not way popular yet, I think this is the most star-struck I've ever been. I'm just a really big fan of hers, and plus I haven't really met a lot of famous people in the past besides the random bands I've met at warped tour. So it really was amazing. I feel like such a dork for making such a big deal out of it! lol. This was basically the best night I've had in a really long time. And going with Suze made it even more fun - I love hanging out with my sista. And Suze is basically the person who gave me my musical taste - I grew up listening to everything that she listened to, like Tori Amos, DMB, Metallica, Nirvana, Blues Traveler, etc... so now we like a lot of the same kind of music. Thanks Suze!:) So to sum up, if you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, complacent, sad, (or even if you're not) go to a concert!! It'll definitely give ya a lil boost of joyness! :)
