concerts

After that 25 bands thing, I got thinking about all the shows I've been to. I have most of my ticket stubs still stored somewhere... but i'm too lazy to find them and go through them, at least today. I've seen more shows than this, but I'm just using itunes and memory as a guide.. so these are all the bands I've seen that I actually own at least a song or two from. Obviously there are more - opening bands, festivals, whatnot.

Amazing how bored I get when stuck eating lentil soup for lunch.

Daaaaaaaaaamn.
With a concert-going schedule like that, I'd cherish the "down time" you have with your soup. How many years of concert-going is that for you?

My 1st show was Duran Duran in 84.
I was 13, my Mom brought me. I had my John Taylor mullet with fedora, white capezio shoes and the "I John" cardboard sign that i worked on for days. I'm still trying to figure out why, being a girl, i always end up emulating male rockstars..well, their hairdo's mostly. I had the Robert Smith doo in high school. That ruled.
