How to go to more concerts
It made me
proud!
 "I'm a concert junkie now."
How I did it: I guess it gets easier to see more bands play once you get older - I wrote this entry when I was like, thirteen years old. But now that I'm seventeen and have been able to drive for awhile, it's gotten so much easier. I've seen Incubus a second time, as well as PlayRadioPlay!, Coldplay, Meg & Dia, Josh Kelley, and best of all, Andrew Bird (one of my personal favorites). It may not be a hugely impressive concert resume, but I'm pretty happy with how this goal played out. Lessons & tips:

How I did it: First few times, find someone to go with, get your tickets, plan your travel and know which way to walk when you come out the tube (in London). Until you're too old to stand (or have a physical limitation) STANDING tickets are the best way to go, aka Stalls tickets at some venues.As gigging has got really popular in recent years, any medium-large bands you like, you'll need to book tickets in advance. That's sometimes the most… Read how I did it…

How I did it: This past year, I went to go see: tegan and sara, twice streetlight manifeto, twice reel big fish, once I missed out on going to see the mountain goats because I got sick. : (And... *drumroll*I have a ticket to go see Gogol Bordello in a month! So fucking excited. I plan to also see Sonic Youth over the summer as well, and hopefully many more bands. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Once I saved up enough money I started searching for when my favorite artists were stopping by.Then I bought them, ahead of time.I tried to get to the shows early when I could. I usually got first row this way. The times when I arrived late, I enjoyed way less. Read how I did it…

Truly happy
How I did it: I never used to go to many shows, because my "public" music tastes were limited by the people I spent all my time with. Being caught up with a bunch of indie kids that got all their music from the front cover of NME meant that I generally kept my mouth shut when bands like Taking Back Sunday and Simple Plan announced tours. If I could get my dad to come with me to see bands, then I would, but I'll never get over missing Jimmy Eat World be… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Going to university where I could spend my free time and money how I wanted, without parental supervision made it possible for me. I looooooove live music and I'm going to Coachella in 2 weeks!! Read how I did it…

I’m going to a City and Colour in concert on January 11 2010.
I have drive about four hours to see him but it’ll be completely worth it.

Went to a gig by these guys in the Kithcen Garden Cafe in Kings Heath. They were doing a tribute to the music of John Martin. It was wonderful…a really small sit-down gig and the music was just beautiful, especially the double bass.

Nine Black Alps!
1 week ago
Saw “Nine Black Alps” live at Leadmill on 27th Oct (saw them 3 times in the past few years, so this was the 4th time seeing them). They rock! It was a really good gig, and I was near the front too (nearest I’ve ever been) and towards the end, the last few songs, I was stood right at the front! I went with my boyfriend, he got 2 guest list places (I’m glad I didn’t buy the tickets ages ago now)! Plus I wore my “Nine Black Alps want your soul” t-shirt I got at Manchester gig few years ago, which I had done a painting of on 27th too, before going out!

14th October – saw “Papa Roach” live at Academy. Got in on guest list! (my boyfriend gets that for gigs sometimes). Wasn’t there from the start, but saw the end of the support band “Madina Lake” then after a bit “Papa Roach” came on.
17th October – saw “Tim Minchin” live (stand-up comic, but he plays songs too) at City Hall. I was front row!
