Winter Narrative
Somewhere I can always be found is definitely at a concert. I spent the majority of 2008 going to concerts at all sorts of different venues, without a doubt I would be ending my year with another show. The two things that made my winter break were going to the Tickle Me Pink Holiday Extravaganza and The Forgotten Secret show in Ft. Collins.
The best way to start the first weekend of break was knowing where I would be on the twentieth of December. As always, Miranda and I wanted to get to the Aggie Theatre a few hours before the show started. We got to the venue around six, thinking the doors were going to open at seven. Without knowing it, we ended up waiting for two hours in windy, snowy, five-degree weather before they decided to open the doors. To keep ourselves warm and entertained we danced around, listened to our MP3's, and talked to random people. By the time we got in, our whole bodies were numb and we didn’t even want to be at the show anymore. But once the music started, everything seemed to get better except for the drunk, old, smelly ladies by us who couldn’t even stand up any longer. The best part of it all was getting to see Tickle Me Pink return to their home stage after a long US tour with Hawthorne Heights. Despite the drunken ladies and the freezing cold, going to the Tickle Me Pink show was the first highlight of my winter break.
Only a couple days later, Miranda and I would be driving back to Ft. Collins for yet another show on the thirtieth. This time our friends Tony and Brandon decided to tag along with us. Knowing that the venue, Hodi’s Half Note, brought back many memories for Miranda and me we were excited to return in so many different ways. Once we got to the venue, we were too hyper to stand in the cold for the doors to open, so we made our way to a kid's store and Starbucks. We saw so many familiar faces from Max and Steven to the “Magic Carpet Guy”, and got hugs and hellos from Becky, Kyle, Jesse, and Chris whom we rarely get to see. Most importantly, we got to watch great local bands. For me, getting to see our friends in The Forgotten Secret perform was amazing, and I also got to try out my new camera on them.
When asked what I did over my winter break, I won't tell you that I watched the movie That Thing You Do about a hundred times and slept in everyday. But instead, I would say that I froze to death on late nights going to concerts in Ft. Collins and driving home listening to "devil praising" music at two in the morning. Not only that, but I got to spend time with one of my best friends doing what we enjoy most. Seeing Tickle Me Pink and talking to friends was by far the most exciting and best thing I did over my winter break.
