Vampires Are Teen Idols

So tonight was pretty great...full of music and friends. The first show was in GF and a bunch of hardcore bands played and all but one completely sucked. Like completely. And most of the people there were no over the age of 15, which just made me feel super mature/original. Everyone there looked the same and I can honestly say I stood out in my jeans and cardigan and not-quite-vintage Schoolkids shirt that will-be-vintage someday. It felt good to know that I had outgrown the whole scene. I ended up hanging out with lots of people including but not limited to (I swear this is posterity, not to make myself look cool) Eric, Jbob, Panda, Byrd, Lorin, Isaac, Jamie, Ethan, Tom, ex-bf Greg, his friends Justin and Andrew, Mitchell, and Kyle. It was pretty sweet, because there is nothing like a small town to make you feel important. I got lots of hugs, too. And pushed in a hardcore fight. Sweet!

Then Eric, Bobby, and I went to the Dana and the Robots show in Hickory, which could have been disasterous seeing as how both of them like metal-esque music and D&tR are like chill, alt-country, indieish, but they actually liked it. But yeah since Aaron thinks I'm awesome (Kbear, he's the one that got a girlfriend the night we were supposed to hang out, for future reference haha :]) we talked before the show and it wasn't awkward at alll, which was surprising. As Dana was setting up, he just talked to us and it was casual and whatnot, then during the show he kept asking me how it sounded and stuff lol...it is so nice to have friends in bands, it makes me feel lurved/important. So yeah, good show.

Just for fun, here's the links to two of the bands tonight, so you get a good idea of the contrast.
