I'm Here, I'm Now, I'm Ready

Here's hoping you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving and/or Columbus Day.

I am feeling better. Thanks for asking. The cold has now just moved to the annoying stages of illness but with out all of the extra attention and sympathy. Now people are more fed up with the constant cough rather than concerned. Hoping to be at 110% in no time.

Considering that I really haven’t been to work in a week, things are going pretty good today, and surprisingly everything stayed relatively organized. I am just grateful for the busyness of today, the day has raced by. It will be the weekend before we know it.

Alright on to what you are all really interested in hearing about. The Jimmy Eat World Concert.

First, let me tell you the very small list of things I was unimpressed with.

1. Standing. By the end, I was wishing I had brought different shoes, or that the floor wasn’t made of concrete.

2. Lack of personal space. I never thought I was claustrophobic, but turns out, I am. Pushing and shoving does not a better concert make.

3. Security. I am always willing to go through metal detectors or have my bag searched; going to Washington DC prepared me for that world in which we now live. However, the personal searches, highly violating.

4. The opening band. Meh. Stop drinking beer on stage. It really doesn’t make you look that cool.

So now on to the things that I loved.

1. The Lighting Guy! You are totally awesome! About a quarter way through the concert, we moved away from the craziness of the front and moved back by the sound stage. What a great chance to see the behind the scenes workings of the concert.

2. A sneak peak at the setlist. I am not one for surprises.

3. A perfect rendition of our new song of the year “Work” and loving, “23

4. Time with everyone I love. Friends and Family finally co-mingling.

Great concert. Surpassing The Tragically Hip and inching out Sharon, Lois and Bram for the best concert, thus far.

Check out pictures here, here and here.

I’m on my feet
I’m on the floor
I’m good to go.
Now all I need is just to hear a song I know
.

Good luck. God Speed. Lots of Love.
