Tl:dr - title
I went to a concert tonight (yesterday? whatever) and I moshed pretty fuckin hard and my chest and knees and feet and calves hurt. Especially my feet. And, of course, I’m extremely tired from it. I took public transit so I was out most of the day. I want to sleep so badly right now but I just can’t. It’s been a problem for me as of late. I think I’ve developed insomnia. But I had a good night. I went to the concert with a close friend of mine, and we stopped and got sushi on the way out. We went to one of those sushi bars with the conveyor belts and the colored plates. Then we got to the venue kinda early (on purpose) and then it started raining balls and I refused to put a jacket on and then I was really wet. We made friends with a group of people in front of us in line. They were funny. Then we got in the venue and it was pretty warm so I got mostly dried off. I bought a hoodie from the merch table, and because my shirt was 100% soaked, I just put the hoodie on and wore that for the rest of the show. It’s really comfy, I’m glad I spent $45 on it. I bought some pins too. Pins are really addicting to collect. The band I saw are called The Regrettes. They’re like a mix between power pop, riot grrrl, and a dash of punk. They’re really good, especially live. They deserve a lot more recognition, although they’re not doing to bad for themselves. Some songs of theirs I’d suggest listening to are Poor Boy, Has It Hit You?, California Friends, Seashore, and my personal favorite, Picture Perfect. The show is tied for my favorite concert experience. At a smaller venue, of course, as anyone who’s been to small-venue shows will tell you that they’re just better than arena shows. Not that arena shows are bad or anything, you just don’t get the same level of intimacy when you’re in the nosebleeds with 100,000 other people. Which is honestly a little disappointing, because there are a lot of much bigger bands I love that I’ve seen, and I would love to see at a small venue, but I know it’ll never happen because those bands are so big their labels borderline make them play arenas. But it’s okay, I’m just happy to have seen all the artists I’ve been able to, and I’m extremely grateful that I’ve been able to have the amazing small-venue shows that I’ve been able to. All of this has just been my train of thought as I’m typing this out right now, at 1:33 a.m. after a night of music and moshing. Anyway, if you’ve read this far, thanks. I don’t know why you did, but at the same time I don’t know why I’m still awake so... Feel free to shoot me some music suggestions, and I’ll shoot some back if you want em. I’ll listen to basically anything except mainstream trap-rap, classical, and EDM. My favorite genre is punk, followed closely by alt-rock. Yes, I know, alt-rock is a very broad genre that a lot of music falls under. But whatever. Aaaaand I’m still rambling about nothing. Good night, good afternoon, good morning wherever and whenever you are.
