4am happiness

Thrice at Irving Plaza NYC

In one hour i will have been up for 24 hours, most of them working, and sober for all of them, im not sure how i have done it and am still happy right now....although i do know crash time is just moments away. i got up for work at 5am yesterday, worked all day then headed straight into nyc for thrice in concert at the irving Plaza. Love! the band was amazing. right up front with my great new aussie friend blanche trying to find our feet, but mainly letting everyone else carry us from side to side, up and down. Here i was feeling bad about not getting a gym session in for the day but after, oh i should add it was 90 degrees of humid mugg all day today, running two blocks and 6 flights of stairs to get to my train after been caught in stupid traffic on the way with no air con, then dripping so much sweat i swear i could fit my bettina lianos again, during the gig. i think today im sussed for cheating the gym. there where also three pretty great supporting acts playing too which i recommend you check out-

who i actually had a little chat to after the gig and brought one of his cds. i was impressed with his warmness towards me and every fan that approached him. i love that about people. never getting too big for their own boots. great funny performer too and love his sounds, highly recommend :)
