Eeeek! Over a month since my last post? Unacceptable! Ever since then, I have been scrambling between studying for finals, cramming for finals, and then writing those finals. Once those were out of the way it was pretty much packing for my little road trip and setting off for that. I’ve been back for a bit but I’ve still been a bit too busy to actually catch up on posting any blog updates but I promise I will soon. Once I get my first exam for summer school out of the way I will devote one day to bring my sorry ass up to speed. For the future, you can look forward to me talking about:
·My road trip
·Book signings
·Bonnie Dune concert
·Other music updates
·Fashion faux-pas post
And much, much more! I managed to update my “Eye Candy of the Week” and my widget boxes but until I can sit down and write a lengthier post, just be patient with me. I’ll be back soon enough!
Oooh we’re not even done with February yet but already my 2011 concert line-up is looking pretty awesome. If you didn’t know already I’m kind of a concert-holic. Whenever I hear a concert announcement for an artist or band that I like I have this irrational tendency to swipe my credit card and get tickets ASAP usually through a presale or at least no later than general sale dates. It’s really like this impulsive habit I have to attend all these concerts. Seriously, I usually see myself going near-bankrupt from it. But there’s seriously nothing better than spending a night listening to live music and just getting caught up in a performance.
My usual partner in crime for most of these events is my sister. I usually have the easiest time convincing her (okay… maybe sometimes it’s coercion) to come to all these shows with me, but also because she just happens to have the same awesome taste in music as I do (of course that reason changes depending which sibling you're talking to). *I’d like to take this moment to thank Jennifer for always willing to go bankrupt with me to go to all these events over the past years* But I do love going to concerts with anyone who's willing to go with me. Here are a few of my favourites...
Vampire Weekend
100 Monkeys
Iron & WIne
Paramore
Kid Cudi
No Doubt
Muse
Lady Gaga
Kings of Leon
Currently my attendance is confirmed for the following shows:
100 Monkeys @ Venue, Vancouver
March 4th @ 7:30pm
Bonnie Dune @ Commodore
May 14th @ 8:00pm
The Black Keys @ Deer Lake Park
June 27th @ 5:30pm
Katy Perry @ Rogers Arena
July 19th @ 7:30pm
Taylor Swift @ Rogers Arena
Sept 10th, @ 7:00pm
These are just a few shows that I would gladly sell a vital organ for in order to go:
Adele @ Commodore
May 30th @ 7:00pm
Bonnaroo @ Manchester, TN
June 9 - 12
Granted Bonnaroo may be a far stretch, but the line-up looks amazing and I can only imagine how awesome it'd be. That and Coachella but due to how exam schedules pan out every April the latter is never an option.
Since it is only late-February, I'm sure more shows will be announced for later in the year that I'll probably want to/end up going to as well. Looking forward to what's ahead so far though.
