damn i want to be them...

so our september ends and october begins with the sound of ringing, heavy in our ears and lactic acid soreness in our muscles... today we picked up arcade fire tickets for tomorrow (at the riv)...

i've never been to the riv, but i can only imagine the carnage that is going to ensue when they army that is arcade fire step onto the stage and start flailing about, and playing helmets and any other odd piece of equipment they may find laying around... i read an interesting article today about one of the members in the band, and how he was just finishing college at Northwestern a couple months ago... the band had an appearance on conan o'brien, and he had told his professor he would need to miss a class because of it... feeling as if the professor didn't believe him, the next day he brought in the rolling stone article with the tv schedule (as if making it on the cover of time magazine in canada wasn't enough)... how damn sweet would that be? They're just a group of kids, recording a hit record in their own apartments and doing the college thing... damn i want to be them...

then on tuesday we head off to the vic theater (where we saw corgan earlier) to see the bravery... that place is like a miniture version of the metro... very small, very intimate... no matter where we stand we'll feel them breathe on us, but we're still going for the first two rows up front... it's going to be a good time..

we finally end our week with a concert that i am looking very forward to.. nine inch nails... this is going to be insane... we got floor tickets and will try to wade our way through the mass of sweaty no shirt bodies, and don-johnsons that just want to beat ass in the pit (even though the tickets say no mosh/no crowd surfing, i think it's more of a legal thing than something enforced..).. this is going to be awesome, and i know they're going to put on one hell of a show... along with queens of the stone age and autolux, me thinks our faces are going to be torn off...
