Hi Strangers!
Remember me? no? didn't think so!!
Just a quick update on how life's going!
Craig and me are still together.
Elidh's now 4 and a half months old!
And we now have a house together!
How time flies.
How time flies.
One of the best experiences of my life happened a week ago.
i got to see a band that were like my idols when i was growing up!
BLINK 182!
So here's the story...
After getting the tickets in May, we were relying on Craig's Brother Scott to have a car by August. He didn't. The week before the gig i was in panic mode. i had no idea how we were going to get through. Mega bus simply didn't run a bus service late enough and I WAS NOT leaving early! so My lovely big cousin managed to come through and pick us up.
So we got to Glasgow. Spent the whole journey playing "THE GAME" (mini punch beetle bop and banana slap). Fair to say Craig won. who knew there would be so many Mini's in Glasgow. We wandered round the town centre for ages. I can't wait to go shopping there! we got food. and headed back to the bus station.
"THE BUS SERVICE YOU REQUIRE IS NOT RUNNING TODAY"
"WHATTTTT???!!!" no way. believe it. So we basically ran to the underground station. I was knackered by the time we got on the train. The train was HEAVING, absolutely packed. jumping off the train the chants started "HERE WE, HERE WE, HERE WE F**KING GO!"
We thought we were doing excellent after getting to the SECC before the doors opened at 18:30. the cue to get in went right through the building and around most of it too! so this is what 25,00 people looked like!
After waiting about an hour, we got in to the arena. Twin Atlantic were the support act,they came on and we stood back a bit, I was waiting for Blink before I went near a pit!
Twin Atlantic's set list wit
- Human After All
- Lightspeed
- Your Turning Into John Wayne
- Carribean War Syndrome
- What Is Light? Where Is Laughter?
- A Guidance From Colour
- Audience and Audio
They were amazing! I have some live video's on my FaceBook page
The curtain was pulled up and the stage was being set for the main act!
BLINK 182!!!
The lights went down and some Irish folk music went on. "WTF?!" i know! a few minutes later, the curtain came down and Blink burst in to dumpweed, the crowd went mental! quite a few pits and generally just got squished! i think i had to get out after violence mainly because some guy kept elbowing e in the face and trying to get past me! all a bit of a blur from there so i'l share my pics and give you a set list again
