today was just such an unbelievable day. the weather was perfect, so i wore a dress. ethan and i hung out all day, shopped, i bought a CUTE dress at american apparel that i can wear like 16 different ways- we ate a BILLION times, including ethans very epic mahi and tortellini dinner... oh, and then we went to an astonishing concert. oh, and did i mention that Ethan's shirt was made out of the EXACT material- color and physical cloth- as my dress. we matched. SO heinous.
yes, we stood up for like 4 hours and i was in toe-numbing heels and had a migraine. but whatevs.
Lenka, an australian performer i had never heard of before, opened. and omg she was AWESOME. Ethan and i immediately and promptly bought her cd and got it autographed before the next set, and she asked us if we matched on purpose. we gave every one that asked us that a different answer, lol.
anyway, after a few songs from her, Justin Nozuka comes out. and ok, he's kindof attractive in a "i'm a douchebag and know how attractive i am, but i'm going to dress tackily to make it seem like i don't care". he had on a wifebeater and jeans, and he's VERY skinny and muscly, and he has GREAT hair- but he played with it too much, amost as much as he unnneccesarily riffed during EVERY song. apparently he was sick, and i could hear it in his voice, but i think he tried to overcompensate by riffing and it was just like... chrisitna aguilera, THATS the quantity of riffing we are talking about here. but he sounded great :) he's got a kickass voice- his persona just got on my nerves. and he played for far too long.
MISSY HIGGINS came out and blew my mind.
started off with "Don't Ever", and then played MY favorite song- the first one of hers i ever heard, "secret". then she played like, all of my other favorites, and at one point even pulled out this keyboardy thingy that you blow in to make the sound come out as you're pushing the keys. it was quite entertaining. and she was just so adorable- she's itty bitty!! but her voice is seriously even better live than on the cds. it's just so like, pure and striaght to the pitch and sweet sounding. i guess the biggest thing is that it made me really, really want to do that. i want to get better at guitar, and piano, and start writing my own songs, and perform. i can't even imagine what an experience it is to get to tour and do something like that every night. how awesome.
i wanted to stay for the whole thing, and we basically left before the very last song (which i knew would probably be "steer" but my migraine was killling me, and we had been standing up for SO long that we didnt want to deal with traffic too.
**note to self** start taking yourself seriously so that you can write your own stuff.
