Death Cab For Cutie

August 8 - August 9th

Woke up
Packed for the road
DJ came over early
Printed mapquest directions
(Forgot to do this both ways...)
Left around 2
Open Road
Ipod wouldn't work
Nicki Minaj on the radio
Laughing/Talking
Made it to Cary in two hours
Got to Chickfila
Met CLS, after waiting a bit
He had pit seats
Jerk.
He was really cool.
Pretty funny guy.
State- Major of biology,
same as ben gibbard
Ate chickfila
Headed out to the concert
Gettin pumped
Got parked, finished the cooler
Mild heat, but not bad at all
Took a few pictures
Had awesome seats
Dear lord, so much beer
Fat tire and Blue Moon
We resisted
Headliner was Frightened Rabbit
They were Scottish
Fantastic
Played on hell of a set
For thirty minutes
Just long enough
The singer had great anecdotes..
all in his scottish accent
"we fed turtles bread
not sure if we were supposed to."
(coming out) "We're Frightened
Rabbit, and We're Scottish"
"We were gonna maybe hang out
in the woods before the show, but
they told us we shouldn't
because there are a lot of effing poisonous snakes"
That guy was hilarious, seriously.
They were really good
Had a great rhythm
Good lyricism, and the guitarist was going hard
7:30, set change
DJ and I just chilled
In about fifteen minutes
Death Cab came out
STRONG
ENERGY
LIGHTS
Dear god, the lights were just amazing
They headlined with possess your heart.
It was fantastic, such energy and passion
The lights flickering bright
Amplified the sound, beautifully
The songs were endless
And they were wild
The crowd was great
Everyone stood up when they came on
I'm more than 100% sure ben gibbard heard my voice/yell :D
It was so lovely
Every positive adjective in the book
And Ben Gibbard looked good
Trimmed down, a lot
He was really funny
I loved when he talked to the audience
"I'm gonna go jump in the lake now
maybe make some friends with the turtles
it's nice and murky."
His voice, so much more velvety in person.
Seriously.
Record my outgoing message bro.
I taped about half of the show
They played only 3 songs from codes and keys
They played this is the new year
With strong lighting at each downbeat
of DUH DUH... this is the new year.
Follow you into the dark was chilling
What sarah said live was huge with the crowd
Movie Script Ending was so great live
The list goes on
They 'ended' with the sound of settiling
I almost cried
They hadn't played transatlanticism
We stood our ground, DJ and I
We clapped, cheered, hollared
To the nights sky
And they came back
With Stay Young Go Dancing, We looked like giants, and yes
TRANSATLANTICISM
The final song
And it was beautiful
Will was right
Gibbard did the come on thing a few times more
It was the most chilling musical experience ever
Oh my god
Oh wow.
It was about 11 when we finally left, 10:30 when the concert ended
I had to take something back from the best concert of my life
I got a tee shirt and a poster
DJ about punched someone in line
Well, he did get mad at the 'hipster douchebags'
Of which there were a few
But seeing the people leave, you could really see
all walks of people, young to old, indie to oldies
Really a beautiful sight
We left the concert happily
DJ and I agreed, best show ever
The traffic in the parking lot was horrendous
DJ waited outside while I sat on the bed of his truck
It finally cleared out after 15 minutes and we left
Then came the scary part
We were driving out and weren't exactly sure where we were
We drove out, feeling okay, then we got gone
Frantic direction looking
Typical getting lost on the road trip
We found our way to I-40, thanks to Christopher Lewis Smith
But we went east instead of west
Then we got headed right, about midnight at this point
The rest of the drive DJ and I just talked, about like everything
Mainly the concert
We stayed awake
Finally got home at 2:30 am
Mom stayed up
Sweet
Showered
Got in bed

Well, one of the best nights of my life, maybe the best.
The time for sleep is now (:

Ella's Party

August fifth- Great Day

Woke up rested today
Ate Biscuits
Watched and Listened to the rain
Revised essay, got a little smarter
Braved the flooded union street
Got to Ella's
She loved her gifts
DJ came over around 4
Then the party started
She had so many chips I couldn't eat :(
We watched house
Chilled on the couch
I ate cannoli filling out of a bowl (:
Then we all got cake
We sat outside
The weather was perfect
We laughed
We joked
It was wonderful
Katie Creswell came
She was constipated
It was hilarious
"You have Iritated Bowel Syndrome"
"NO, it's irritable bowel syndrome"
But it made me have to go,
Subconsciously.
"GO POOP"
Then we got pizza
And aaron came
It was a little awkward
60 dollars, seriously?
Eli and them were hilarious
And Ella was having fun
And she looked beautiful
She deserved a great day
The group was good
Oh, and Cori
Her accent
Like seriously
Zac and her really make a good couple
But her accent cracks me up
We went walking outside
Then a strange couple started fighting
"Or we could go inside"
We got pizza
Stepbrothers came on
Katie had hilarious stories
DJ moped a little bit
Ella stayed happy
I was happy
Oliver joked my car was being towed
.... not funny.
Then Will came late
And left soon
And soon I had to go
what with not having after nines
I got home around 8:40
Then I ate spinach ravioli
Called Darby
Laughed
Texted people
Watched David Copperfield
DJ just texted
Now it's 2 AM, time for bed (:
I can say, it's been a great day.
I'm really happy right now.
This summer is fantastic.

June 5, 2011

Woke up.
Drove in.
Bon Iver shirt on.
Blink 182 on 106.5 that morning.
I was so nervous.
Test booklets passed out.
I was the last one to turn it in.
Felt fine about it.
Lunch with Will and Ella.
Couldn't hold my head up.
Passed the classroom.
Tucker shouted, "You made a 100."
Ran down the hallway screaming, YESSS.
Life was made pretty awesome.

I want to look back and remember.
This blog will probably not be exciting..
This blog is just about what I want.
Follow or don't, this is mine.
