I had the most amazing time last night!!!! I went to my first concert ever in my entire young life. It wasn't some obscure band that plays tin cans and trumpets that no one likes, it was Death Cab For Cutie! I love them so much. Before Death Cab there was Maids of State, who I have never heard of before...In fact I called them Iron Maiden, hehe. I knew there was a Maid in there somewhere. I'm silly. Thanx Gabdor for informing me of my mix up. Then came Spoon. I like them a lot, and thanx to the concert I actually know what they are like. Hello Limewire. I know, I know, Limewire sucks.
I actually didn't like Maids of State; you cannot have a band with 2 people. I mean you can, but when you perform it just sucks and that’s the way it is. That’s why Death Cab was amazingly awesome. They just performed like wild, jumping onto the amps, telling pointless and yet entertaining stories, and jumping around with tons of energy. I must say, that I have always loved Ben Gibbard's voice. It's just so airy and beautiful...almost in a way that’s not human. Maybe Ben Gibbard is like a god! Or an alien maybe. Wow, I think something big has just been uncovered here. Take a deep breath.
I love how Ben Gibbard moves with his guitar...he almost marches with it, but he doesn't actually get anywhere. It's very cute. From far away Death Cab looks cute, but up close...Well, lets just say that the age difference becomes apparent. But they all are really talented musicians.
I had so much fun with my dear friend Trav--It was his first concert too--We kept pointing out cute emo kids.
"I like that one," said trav, motioning to a tall longhaired guy in tight jeans and a tight black shirt with the lapels turned up.
"Oho, look at that one over there," I said pointing to a young red-haired guy to my left.
Trav grabbed my hand with a quick grin, so I would stop pointing so obviously. I guess the guy was rather close to us.
But it was so fun! I love to people watch. It was probably more interesting to people watch than to focus on the stage.
It got really dark, and I could just make out the shadowy faces in the mosh pit, all moving slightly so that it looked like a sea of heads. Then as soon as Death Cab came on everyone whipped out their cell phones and the blue-white screens glowed like eerie candles, illuminating the faces dimly. Cell phone lights are like the new lighters, though I'm pretty sure I saw a few of them too. the people holding them must be old-fashioned.
All 5 of my friends that went and I made it to the mosh pit towards the end...I had so much fun dancing in the dark, surrounded by people I will never know or see again.
