Stained Glass

I have a doodle for you guys. Nothing special, but I've had it for a while. I might not have bothered if Bippy hadn't pestered me about it. :P

In other news, I went to a concert last night! I was stunned to hear that Athlete and Switchfoot would be coming to a small town like ours, but did you hear me complaining? No.

It was amazing! Athlete is a British band, if you didn't know, and yes, he did have an accent. They seemed amazed that we thought it was amazing they were from England, but hey! I've lived in America ALL my life, just like MOST Americans. In fact, I have never even left the country, also like MOST Americans. Of course we're going to be interested in them! And I resent the accusation made by him that all Americans are stereotypical. XP The songs they played were cool, though I had trouble hearing the words clearly. At a concert, though, that's pretty much par for the course. Also, their drummer, Steve, couldn't go on tour with them, so they had Computer Steve to keep time with them! He was a mac laptop, and despite my usual hatred for Apples, ya gotta love Computer Steve. :D Everyone else loved him, too.

After they played for about forty-five minutes, Switchfoot came on, and the mosh pit about doubled. Yeah, Arian, my sister and I were included in both mosh pits. :D And we did some jumping and air-punching and head bobbing, mostly just to be ironic. Not to say we didn't enjoy the show! It was a blast. I don't like to compare, but I definitely enjoyed Switchfoot more than Athlete, and not just because I could sing along with Switchfoot. They played longer than Athlete, and and a pretty sweet light show. At one point, Jon Foreman got down from the stage, and walked through the crowd. X3 Not to fan-girl on you all, but he came within about five feet of me, and it was pretty spaz-attack-inducing.

Another funny thing? We were standing next to some guys who liked to wave their shoes in the air instead of just their hands, or a cellphone or lighter. At one point, Jon noticed and said something along the lines, "What?Why are you guys waving your shoes in the air? That's awesome!" From then on, we referred to them as the Shoe Guys. Friendly group! At one point we all were swaying to the music together.

All in all, pretty awesome-sause show. I got a t-shirt, which I hope will fit. Am I the only one who has noticed that t-shirst run seriously small nowadays? Their XL looked like a medium. Insanity!

Well, since the concert all I've done is homework. XP I won't bore you with the sordid details, because I know no one cares. I also won't say how much I am NOT liking the thought of school tomorrow. I know you all are feeling the same way.

Ivy, out.
