arienettelyn's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so...i saw bright eyes again last night... so...last night was pretty terrible. i mean...there were good things and bad things. but the bad outweighed the good. and i have 45 minutes before my class, so let's start from the beginning, shall we? my dad chauffered us (cuz he's such a nice pappy!) but he made us leave at like 4:15 which was pretty early and sucked. in the car we listened to SAVAGE GARDEN!!!!! only 2 songs but yeah. i found it exciting. then we listened to the ataris and me and kenny had discussions about them. yep. randy slept. my dad stated again that the ataris sounded like the goo goo dolls, then got upset with me when i said that wasn't a very cool thing to say. maybe he misunderstood...see, i like the goo goo dolls. and i like the ataris. but i don't think either band would want to be compared to each other, that's all. anyway...then we listened to the every day and every night cd. that's bright eyes, if you're deprived. and...then we were about there. we got out and my dad disappeared. it was about 6, and there was a small line already. randy and kenny were hungry, so we wandered around and found a pizza place to eat at. they put the sauce on top of the cheese! it was crazy. so then we went back to irving plaza and got on the line. randy was being his usual i'm-gonna-act-like-a-dumbass self, which of course, as i've stated before, gets old VERY quickly. i put a barrett in kenny's hair. he kept it in there. this weird girl in front of us asked me if my shirt was old. (i was wearing a thursday shirt). i said it was from last summer. and she was like, "oh that's OLD, now all you see is the ones with the birds!" so that was strange. then she asked randy if something corporate was the band that sang konstantine. actually, she called it my konstantine but she can be forgiven since she then said that she loves that song. rock on! a little later, i whipped out one of my SUPER BALLS because i thought it might be fun...randy got a little too excited and had to go running after the ball, and he tripped and fell down. oh man. it was the funniest thing i've ever seen, i laughed for a good 5 minutes. it was a big fall, too, he tumbled a few times. and everyone on the line got all silent. it was humorous. apparently randy didn't think so! then...when we were going in...i'm pretty sure this guy called me sir. which upset me. but moving on... we got into like the 4th row...it was crowded, and i still felt like shit. jesse harris didn't come out until 9, but he was pretty good. his guitarist made REALLY cool faces. and broke his string. and tried to change it. uhhh...they played for half an hour. it was really cool to see him try to squeeze in one more song, he was so happy to be playing. i love people like that. (for the record, conor is NOT like that). also, randy stated that jesse harris looks like my aunt sharon. who is my mom's identical twin. which was so incredibly disturbing because i was beginning to think that jesse harris was kinda cute. after jesse harris was gone, my brother was having some issues with a large-haired dude standing in front of him who kept bending over and kinda...putting his ass up against my brother. which i found funny. everyone around us did as well, and that one noisy girl from outside reached over and pinched his ass. so of course, the dude thinks it was my brother, and says something like "that's hot dude, why don't you just hump my leg?" you should probably refer to his diary if you want more specifics on that one...i'm sure he'll have a very entertaining recap of that little incident. just thought i'd mention...the girls standing in front of us definitely liked randy and kenny. they said they were the funniest people they'd ever met. i don't know if they knew these chicks said that, but yeah. arab strap came out...the guy was funny looking. and i was thinking about that pic of him kissing conor. hah...umm...so yeah. they're scottish. the music was really great, but boring. they dedicated a song about cocks to a guy that requested a song they weren't gonna play. it was a very nice song, about how he'll hump anything at all when he's erect. great stuff. they also covered you shook me all night long. they were done at about 10:35. people started pushing forward. the 2 people who had been making out all night decided that now they should take up even more space by making out on the floor. i literally could not move, there were so many people. bright eyes came out a little before 11, and he opened with one foot in front of the other. he looked...dead. huge bags under his eyes. he also looks like he should maybe eat something. anything. and of course, he had his huge wine bottle. after the first song, they had to stop because of some technical difficulties, and conor rambled on about how we wasn't embarrassed about having technical difficulties, because it's just electricity going through wires, and sometimes it messes up. oook...it was weird, they had some flashlight guy trying to fix stuff. usually, they fix the shit themselves. mike got up once to try and adjust something and the flashlight guy came speeding right out. it was pretty humorous. i guess that means bright eyes have really hit the big time now! i can't remember what they played next, in all honesty. but here's a list of the shit they played, in no order: one foot in front of the other anyway...i think that was it. i might remember more later. that's not a lot of songs...he must have done more than that. oh well. there were...teenyboppers there. at a fucking bright eyes show. it was disturbing. they sang along SO loud to all the songs he did off lifted, but knew nothing else. and they wouldn't stop screaming. there was even the vulgarity i only remember happening at incubus shows (namely the "fuck me hard, conor!") i was troubled. it was terrible. conor didn't seem to be in a very good mood, either. someone told him to pace himself, because she wanted him to last the whole show (he was chugging the wine) and he was like..."you pace yourself, i want you for the whole show. it was...sleazy. haha... someone offered him a bracelet, and he didn't seem to know what to about that one. during their "technical difficulties" someone asked if the interview on fevers and mirrors was real or fake, and i'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic and trying to make a joke, but conor got kinda upset. he scratched his head, thought about it for a second, and then said "is it real or fake? are you real or fake?? i think you're fake..." so yeah, something was bothering him. i don't think he was drunk. just an asshole. and they didn't play very long. but...a song to pass the time was amazing. and that poison oak song (which might be called something different) was really amazing as well. sometime during the set some old guy (like, in his forties) pushed in front of me. he was about my height. it wouldn't have been so bad if he didn't keep clapping his arms above his head and shaking and stuff. he kept whipping his head around, and i felt like he was staring at me. creepy. someone asked conor where the rst of the band was (there was only 4 or 5 other people last night) and he said he fired them because he wanted more money. he said he wanted to play solo, but these guys were cheap. that was kinda entertaining... so when conor was done, he just left without a good bye or anything, and i was pretty happy to get out of there. i was in pain! my dad snuck in...so he saw bright eyes and a yankee game last night. he's very proud of himself. in short...conor put on a good show, but acted like an asshole. the crowd was completely different then it was back when i saw them in november and december. teenyboppers! TEENYBOPPERS! yeah and a whole hell of a lot of people sang along with bowl of oranges. i know that song has a video, but it's not actually being played anywhere, is it? i mean, if it is, good for them, but...uhh...that's just weird. i'm glad i decided not to go to the show again tonight. i wouldn't have been able to stand it. i feel bad man...i go on all the time about how bright eyes is my favorite band and i didn't even have fun last night. i was wishing it was desa performing instead:) well...i feel quite sick, but i just finished my english paper which is due in one hour...i have to work tonight...josh didn't get voted off last night...fucking trenyce...i liked her. and ruben was in the bottom 2. what?? i'm happy though. let's get him out of there so clay can win. but honestly...josh is terrible. this isn't cool. and no, i didn't even get to watch the show. i had to read the recap. i'm gonna go to my music class now, see if he graded my horrible horrible paper...i see the ataris tomorrow!!! now THAT will be a good show...mmm...bye bye everyone 9:15 a.m. - 2003-05-01 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
