Even moar concerting...

[asreoninfusion]

Woohoo! Guess what I just found. Lappytoppy apparently has a very convenient built-in memory card reader slot thingy. Which means that I can upload my photos at will and never have to worry about being able to find my camera cable (which is still missing) again, hooray! ^^ It also means that I can finally give you my photospam from when I went to see Europe* on Sunday.

* Uh, that is, the band Europe. I didn’t go on a tour across the continent of Europe. Shame really, cause that would’ve been epic. ^^;; But I’m afraid we’ll have to settle for the more minor epic of a concert instead.

We were in another really small venue – more like a club than a proper theatre or concert hall or whatever you hold big concerts in. In fact, it may well have been a club under normal circumstances. O_O I’ve never been in a club before... scary. Annnnyway. It had this convenient ledge all the way round the room for putting drinks and stuff on, so I managed to sit on that. Which meant that a) my feet didn’t die, and b) I ended up about a head taller than everyone else and could actually see and get almost decent photos. ^^

Okaya. Support band first. They were called New Device, I believe (as per usual, I’d never heard of them before). They had pretty decent music, though I’ve decided I don’t particularly want to learn what the lyrics to their songs are, as from what I could understand it sounded rather crude. On the other hand, their drummer was kinda cute. (No, I don’t have pictures of said drummer. Not for want of trying, but the drummers are impossible to photograph since they always hide right up the back behind a giant drum kit.)

We weren’t too far from the stage either. I don’t think this photo is even zoomed in.

And then Europe! Do you listen to/know of Europe? I’m 98% certain you will have heard at least one of their songs. Final Countdown is pretty infamous, after all. ^^

Some interesting lighting for you there. I am not entirely sure who this is, beyond the guitar player person, but Colin says that this guy is Awesome™. I guess that means he’s a pretty good guitar player person.

“Got your ball stuck in the roof, huh? No worries…”

*blinks at self* Uh, excuse the random commentary there. Lead singer apparently enjoys swinging the microphone stand around a lot – he did this a couple of times. ^^

“Hey, look over there!”

“Braaaaaaaaains….”

(…Yeah, alright. Now I’m just being stupid >>;;)

And hey! I even managed to write down the setlist! Not all of it, because it’s not one of the bands where I can identify every song by the first two bars, but I think I’m only missing a few songs…

1) Last Look At Eden
2) ?
3) Superstitious
4) ?
5) Sign of the Times
6) Always the Pretender
7) No Stone Unturned
8) New Love In Town
9) Scream of Anger
10) Guitar solo
11) Seventh Sign
12) Start From The Dark
13) Rock the Night
14) ? (cover version of something-or-other)
15) Final Countdown

I think that’s all of the concerts for a while now; next one is Kamelot in March. *bounces gleefully at the thought* I’m not sure why this is, but I swear all the concerts I go to are either in March/April or October/November and never anywhere in between. Huh.

Now, what else? I feel like I should be doing something. Colin is in Australia (without taking me with him, damnit T^T) and Mum and teh little childrens are away on a random holiday at the moment, so I’m home alone. I can watch whatever TV I want! Watch horror movies that my mother wouldn’t approve of and stuff my face with popcorn while doing so! Eat chocolate cake for breakfast! (Actually, I do that last one on a fairly regular basis anyway >>;;) I must take advantage of the situation! ...I just don’t have anything in particular that I wanna do. ^^;;

It’s more annoying than useful anyway. Since I haven’t learnt to drive yet and all people who do drive are absent, I have to catch the bus to school. Which involves leaving the house at quarter past six. In the morning. Approaching winter, when it is freezing cold and I don’t have a coat cause my old one has pretty much fallen apart and I haven’t bought a new one yet. Not nice. >.< And despite leaving at a ridiculous hour of the morning I still barely get to school on time. *shakes fist at failish public transports*…Yeah. Just wanted to complain about that. ^^;;

o_O …And… things are exploding outside. I must go investigate!

…

*headdesk* It turns out the exploding things were fireworks. I’d completely forgotten it was Bonfire Night. -_-‘’ Aw, and that means we don’t have a firework party this year since everyone’s away. I like playing with the funneh firework setting on my camera and seeing what pretty patterns I can create. T^T

Anyhow. I don’t think I actually have anything else to add to this post, so I’ll leave you in peace and get back to haunting the Expo forums and trying to figure out how the hell I’m gonna do my cosplay for May. *claps hands together and dances off happily*
