So I thought my ankle would be much better by now but sadly it's not where I'd like it to be. I apparently tore the tendons and have a bit of a ways to go as far as healing is concerned. I won't be able to play in the last volleyball tournament of the year so that is disappointing as it's such a fun day. On the bright side I won't come home beat up by the rocks nor burnt by the sun so my body is probably very happy!

I've been a bit of a concert whore lately. I saw Kings of Leon, Keane, Flock of Seagulls, Peter Murphy and Tears for Fears all within a few weeks of one another! I also have David Gray/Ray Lamontange coming up so I'm excited for that.








We had general admission on the floor for Kings of Leon which I was kinda meh about as GA is not always the best lest we forget Perfect Circle and the tallest man (no joke) on the face of the earth standing in front of us. I was pleasantly surprised for Kings of Leon though as we could see perfectly and even had the chance to get up nice and close maybe 3 "rows" back from the stage (check out our above photos). They sounded great live (which will be a theme for this email as all of the bands sounded fabulous live) and put on a very energetic show!

I was VERY surprised by the Keane show and the lack of people at the venue. There are four sections plus the lawn and only the first two sections were full with a few people trickling into the 300's. LD and I turned the corner to grab a drink and there was no line up. We were like WTF? Two days earlier we were at the same place and stood in line for a good 3o minutes for a cool beverage, same for the bathroom so this was a huge shock. Keane sounded amazing live and a lot of people really enjoyed the opener as well Robyn.....no idea who she is.....but she did a good job of getting the crowd going!


Flock of Seagulls were meh, it was a free show at a festival so I didn't waste any money on it which was good! Peter Murphy on the other hand was fantastic, loved him! Look at his cute jacket with a pink tuft at the back!!

He changed into this hoodie for the rain! Awww Peter was super entertaining and had this amazing presence AND he sang Bella Lagosi's Dead which made my night!!! He was playing another show that week which I would have loved to go to but I was busy that night, boo! I was super excited we got sooo close to him as well!

The crowd was also super entertaining, this guy put a cigarette out on his tongue, yes his tongue and danced away in his mesh shirt and leather (pleather?) pants! Oh my! He also twirled to the ground several times but I kept missing it on video so instead you get a little hip wiggle!

(This photo is not mine, I got it off of a twitter page but I was at this concert)

This weekend we drove a few hours away up to a trailer, went shopping (I bought some earrings and something else I've been wanting to try oh and brownies can't forget the brownies) and then LD and I made our way to yet another concert. This time it was Tears for Fears woot woot! Again, they sounded phenomenal live and put on a great show but the crowd was full of a bunch of downers. Seriously, barely anyone stood up for most of the show, the two sections beside us had a few rowdy people but that was it. At one point I was like fuck it, let's stand up! I tried to ask the guy behind me if it would bother him but he didn't pay any attention to me so up I went. I don't think I've ever been to a concert where the crowd sat down......even for the encore....people stood up to clap and get them back out on the stage and when they appeared, the people sat back down. HUH???? So while I would have normally danced my ass off for the whole show, it was cut back to about 4 songs so as to not upset the masses. Needless to say, they sounded great, sang a lot of songs I love and rocked out despite the boring crowd!
