Song after boring song

Last Tuesday morning while I was in the office going through my email, Mi Amor called me up,

“I know this is a stupid question but, do you want to watch Paramore tonight?"

Of coz I felt like answering, “HELL NO! Why would I wanna watch them? Now please don’t bother me with stupid questions early in the morning, I hafta work” but remembering that he’s leaving next week and that his birthday is coming up, I sweetly replied,

“Yeah sure Mi Amor, if that’s what you want, I’ll go with you. Have you bought the tickets or do you need me to buy em’?” (Sighhh...such is the sacrifice of a wife)

Anyhow, long story short, he managed to get last minute tickets (Damn!). Little did I know he actually advertised through his facebook status “............‎'s friend is in urgent need of Paramore tickets. Anyone's got spares?” Apparently he didn’t wanna let out that HE was the one looking for tix coz he’d be embarrassed if his friends found out that at his age, he listens to them (he says he’s too old for alternative punk rock emo songs...or whatever genre it is that they play).

Since it was such a last minute thing and we had to stop by KLPAC to pick up the tix before heading to the concert, we were about 15-20 mins late and prolly missed about 2-3 songs (this is the first concert where a band is actually punctual!).It was cute to see Mi Amor attempting to sing along with the band. He used his bb to google the lyrics during the concert (back then before the bb, whenever he attending a concert, he would print out the lyrics and bring them to the concert. I know, my man’s dorky that way, heh). Well, at least he enjoyed himself while I stood with arms crossed staring amused at some bald dude who was attempting to dance from time to time (which btw, turned out to be Sham from Mix FM whom I have a crush on!). I didn’t know a single song that was played (ok the song about burying castles and someone being an exception sounded familiar) and at one point when they were playing one of their songs, I asked Mi Amor, “Hey, didn’t they play this song just now? Why are they playing it again?” (I know, stupid question. No band would play the same song again. It’s just that I could have sworn the freaking song sounded the same as one of the songs they played a few sets earlier!)

At some point in the concert I was so bored and about to prove that it is possible to fall asleep standing up, surrounded by loud thumping music (so loud that it feels like it’s coming out of your chest) and screaming sweaty people that I decided to text my friend to keep me awake.

Whatcha doin’? I’m bored

Something. Pretty weird time to be bored.

 I’m at the Paramore concert, that’s why.

Tsk. Who watches Paramore?? Who are they anyway?

Exactly! Tell that to Mi Amor :P

So you are his ‘friend’ who urgently needs Paramore tix? What a waste of tix. You’re better of blogging.

Yeah, I’d rather be blogging and you know how lazy I am to blog! Maybe I’ll blog about this.

I’m glad I inspire you.

Oh gotta go. Think this is their last song....YAY!

CRAP....Encore :P

To be fair to Paramore, if I had actually liked them, I’m sure it would have been an awesome concert fro me. The lead singer was cute and she sounded great singing live. The band had great energy and were good at working up the crowd. When the singer went, “You guys are amazing” I heard Sham say,”No, YOU are AMAZING” (*swoon*...all the while I was praying, turn around, look at me, LOOK AT ME! heh). I just couldn’t help rolling my eyes when the lead singer said “It took us 6 years before coming here to Malaysia. Judging from tonight, you guys are awesome! I don’t know why it took us so long. I can promise you this; it won’t take us another 6 years to come back”

Yeah yeah, that’s what they all say....We’ll see :P

p/s  One thing I found entertaining about the concert was the amount of boobage on display (yes, I’m a boob person). Is there a concert dress code that I don’t know about?
