well those craigslist tickets were in my possession a few weeks later thanks to the help of my best friend, michelle, and I SAW THEM. AND IT WAS SPECTACULAR. and then i saw that they were going to perform on Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon and that I could enter a contest on Jimmy Fallon's site to go to the live filming of the show and SEE MUMFORD & SONS LIVE (AGAIN!). SO I DID IT. AND I GOT THE TICKETS! unfortunately i couldn't find someone to go w/ me b/c becca was still homestuck w/ a cut leg (short story involving a recently sharped shovel). and no one was free/wanted to go. BUT IT WAS STILL AMAZING. le sigh.
so why do i post about them again, you ask? (again, i speak tis if I had someone listening) b/c in august i saw that they were yet again touring north america (CAN YOU SAY HALLELUJAH!?) and what did I do but find a buddy to go to the boston show at HOB and thankfully my trusty friend kristie said sure and I GOT THOSE TICKETS, BABY. fo sho. i wasn't going to have another craigslist episode happen. i got wayyyyyy lucky with that one. and so I waited patiently for about 3ish months until the epic day, 11.11.10 came. And it came. And I saw. And my heart was yet again conquered. (cheeeeeeseee...)
crappy as my day began that day, and crappier as my health deteriorated as I stood waiting for M&Ss to go on stage, even through my failing to stand straight anymore, THEY PUT ON POSSIBLY THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER BEEN TO. not that i've been to a wholleee lot. but damn! i love it when shows have good lighting! and did they ever!
'There's a chip on your shoulder girl, and by God it'll make you fall if you let it take a part of your soul.' ahhhh
i didn't bring my fujifilm b/c HOB usually has a no camera policy and i saw both times i've been there before, ppl w/ point and shoots so i brought mine and this is as good as it was going to get. but i loveeeeddd their performance so much. it was definitely one of those they liked the performance too performances. WHICH ARE AWESOME.
i can't wait to see them live again. honest.
