My Summer of Concerts


I made a conscious effort this year to go to as many concerts as I possibly could. I figured, I really like music so seeing my favorite bands play live would probably be a good idea! :P

So far this year I've seen Tokyo Police Club, Metric, Mobile, The Stills, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Green Day, Thornley, All-American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, and Blink 182. Next week is Kings of Leon, and next month is ManRayGun, Keith Urban & City and Colour. I'm having a blast but unfortunately it's not the cheapest hobby!

(Sidenote: I MAY have downloaded a FEW songs in my day, but I figure there are so many really crappy bands out there a person would go broke trying to find stuff they really like...so I struck a deal with myself to buy a ticket for any band that has put out a CD I've liked, and to also buy a tshirt from the merch table - I figure that makes us even! :P)

In other news, tomorrow I'm heading out to Jasper to help celebrate Heather's birthday. This annual tenting trip is entering its second year of a (hopefully) long tradition! I'm not really much of an outdoorsman, but anytime I can eat BBQ'd hotdogs and S'mores for dinner I'm happy!
