it had to be done.

oh look, there i am...on my way out the door to the First Aid Kit concert. {by the way i hate using the word 'concert', but i also hate 'show'...because then it sounds like a tv show. im torn} remember this post? well it happened, i went. all by my lonesome. it had to be done, i could not NOT go. i love these girls.
the concert/show was downtown and i drove around for about 25 min looking for parking...i didn't want to park too out in the boonies because i was all by my lonesome. finally, i made myself park in this spot. i am not one to parallel park(even though i did it perfectly on my drivers test) nor am i one to back into a spot. i was desperate. the backing in parking is all i could find, however i made it in the spot on the first try. bravo. (the photo makes it look like i was a lot crickeder(not even close to a real word) than i actually was.) it had to be done. i could not NOT go.

they were amazing, as expected.
here are some videos i took. yes, you want to watch.

afterwards, i talked with them and they signed something for me. it had to be done. i really hate/love talking to musicians{or im sure anyone "famous"}. it is this great yet, really awkward moment. im generally not an awkward person, but man those "famous" people, they'll getcha. sure let many a musicians walk right past me instead of saying something to them. however, i have had my shinning moments too. i was pretty charismatic and showed no sign of awkward when i talked with Whitley. then there was that time with Josh Kelley , when what i was thinking..."I AM DYING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE ARE TOUCHING AND YOU ARE TAKING A PICTURE WITH ME AND OH MY YOU ARE TALL" showed no sign on my face. i think part of that awkwardness, for me, comes from this feeling they are a part of my life completely and voluntarily, but if i meet them i will remember we are strangers. sometimes, i just want to not remember we are strangers.
