A fly can’t bird but a bird can fly

Yesterday was a hard day of work and Ronnie and I had to stay pretty late…but we had tickets to a show that we were supposed to meet up with Andy…so we decided to push past our grumpy-ness and go. For the first time I was actually more excited to see the opener band than the headliner. The New Pornagraphers were first. Ronnie had taken me to one of their shows several months ago before I knew any of their music. Back then they were awesome! I danced and got “rocker-neck.” You know, where you bounce your head too much and it starts to hurt. I got some of their cds and listened to them often at work. So I was super excited to see them again. Just like before, they blew me away! Ronnie and I danced and bounced, annoying the people around us. We lost Andy in the crowd as he was looking for Marie and we wanted to enjoy the show.

Next up was Belle and Sebastian. I have heard their music only through Andy. I rememeber he would play it nonstop in college and if I ever stayed the night, it was in the cd player as we went to sleep. So I was used to their older mellow stuff. I was pleasantly surprised when one of the lead singers just bounced around the stage in a skinny stripped shirt. It was very New Order. I am guessing a lot fo songs were from their new album or they just rock out more live. So even though we couldn’t find Andy in the HUGE crowd at the SF Concourse, we found a nice open lil space where we could dance, see the stage and not annoy people. So now I have a new respect for Belle and Sebastian…like I do for most bands I see live.

Did you know today is my birthday? The big 2-6. Though I am still one of the youngest of my friends. Ronnie bought me all kinds of awesome gifts like a comic I saw and he had to special order and a Gamecube!! Mario Kart here I come! Then he took me to breakfast. (Yeah we got up early) As we were driving to work I thought to myself how awesome it is that I am an adult now, living with my boyfriend, going to my work in high heels…but I still got video games and a comic book for my birthday. How perfect is that? Tonight I head out to dinner with a small group of friends, parents and Auntie to celebrate my birth. Oh happy day!
