Random discussion last night? Glassjaw is playing a show on November 4th and Chris decided he wanted to go. We all know how addicted I am to roadtrips - especially roadtrips to see concerts so I was all over the idea and now I find myself looking up prices of plain tickets and how to get free concert tix and stuff. This would be huge but unfortunately, there are like a ton of shows in Atlanta circling that date that I don't want to miss. This Providence will be in Atlanta the day after the Glassjaw show and I pretty much can't miss that since I always see This Providence. FOB and Gym Class Heroes will be playing the day before the Glassjaw show and I swear I cannot miss an interview with Gym Class Heroes and a potential Fall Out Boy interview which would pretty much secure our site on the map in the rock world... at least with the emos and FBR kids. That's a huge deal though, right? Right. So what do I do? Do I invest in plane tickets and haul ass to New Jersey for one night of awesome rocking out or what? I think it'll be worth it to fly there though. I don't think I can handle a 12 hour drive. The ten hours to get to Virginia Beach was bad enough.
I wish people could give advice on this. Cause seriously, when people mention roadtripping to shows, I jump at the thought and I'm like packed weeks in advanced or shopping for concert clothes or something pretty extreme.
Anyway, this weekend was supposed to be pretty amazing. I was supposed to have a show everyday up until Sunday starting this past Wednesday but plans have changed. Last night was A Thousand Times Repent (which was bittersweet because of the whole situation) and tonight I have All Time Low & Boys Like Girls. Now I'm a fan of guys singing sissy music (Boys Like Girls) so of course I'm stoked about seeing them for the billionth time this year (my first time being the Carte/Cobra Starship show back in March) and yes. So Yes. And it will also be my millionth time seeing All Time Low this year (starting with the Hit The Lights show back in.... March?) SWEET! And we're interviewing All Time Low... again. It's going to be another podcast but most likely NOT an interview. I'm all burnt out on asking musicians such boring questions and apparently I'm a bad journalist for asking funny questions or asking them stuff that they actually want to answer. I know they get sick of the same questions all of the time, you know? So I have no clue what's going to go down tonight. I have like 5 hours to contemplate that and life before it all goes down. Tomorrow is Portugal. The Man and Cartel. We interview Portugal. The Man around 5:30 and then I hit it up with Cartel like right after that at another venue. Kristia and I are splitting up so we get double the coverage. I'm excited about that. Unfortunately, that leaves me with an empty Saturday. I have work Saturday but I love the rush of lack of sleep and concerts taking up my life so it sucks that I have to actually come home and rest. I mean, as much as I say it sucks being busy and sucked in to this whole concert/work/lack of sleep life... I kind of... love it.
Happy Birthday Gabriel Saporta
