This week end has been awesome so far. Yesterday was 30 Seconds To Mars, and it was just brilliant. Well most of it. We went in mad early to try get into the pit but to everyone’s annoyance, after 6 and a half hours of queuing, we found out there WAS NO PIT! All because of JLS... HUH! Yeah they didn't want a pit for their gig which was the next day (well today actually) so the 02 being lazy fuckers said it would be too much hassle to put one in for 30stm only to take it away again. Naturally I was a bit pissed off! But it was such a fun day! We arrived at the 02 with bags full of Mc Donald’s take away and had a blast! We drew on each other’s boobs/backs/stomachs/faces with dry wipe marker and I believe my boobs read; ' I <3>
Fox avenue were the first band on and they were AMAZING! They did super mega awesome and I was like so proud of them hah! All the other fans and I have watched them move to bigger and bigger venues as time moves on, they only started in the Academy and now they're in the 02! How cool! The second band I didn't like though. They were a drumming band called ‘street drum core'... Nikki no likey! They're sound was shit too; all the mikes and amps kept failing! It was really terrible, and as Shell said, if her sister was there, she probably would have cried!!
After the second support act, things started to go wrong with me. I was fine and waiting for 30stm to start when I suddenly felt really, REALLY ill. It was so horrible. I was fine then I started to feel a bit of a sick stomach, then three minutes later, I had to rush from my space in the second row from the front of the stage out passed all the people in standing. I got sick in the bathroom. It wasn't nice. Then I got mega pissed off... I couldn’t get back! As I was sitting down the back on the floor, 30 seconds to mars started and I got all upset at the back of the 02. I had waited hours to get that space so I could see one of my favorite bands and with just my luck I had to go fucking puke! The week hadn't been going so good as it was but this was just a kick in the ass! I actually balled at the back of the 02 and people were staring so badly... sounds stupid but all I wanted was a hug! I actually wanted to call one of the guys from the front and ask if they could come down to me just so I could get the hug! FREAK! I copped on and stopped being selfish and told them I was fine.
So while my world was slowly crumbing, I was trying to figure out two things. 1. Why the FUCK am I so moody lately (I mean I was proper fucking balling at the back of the 02) and 2. How the hell was I meant to get back?
Thankfully Jared Leto is awesome and decided to sing with his fans on the balcony! When everyone turned round to watch him, I pushed my way through to the front again! I saw Buttons there and he took my hand and tried to get me back to my original place, but there was a group of bitches who refused to move. I know they didn’t want to lose their space but they knew I had been there with shell before, I was standing beside them! But they were short so I got through. Yeah I’m one of those bitches at gigs who can’t let go! I’m always the one to take her spot back no matter what… I was lining up for 6 and a half hours for Christ’s sake! After that it was all amazing! It was the best gig I’ve been to, ever!
Tonight though, I just had my Lucan Gospel Singers concert! Now THAT was fucking amazing! It was so much fun! The whole day was spent rehearsing but I just thought the day went so fast! It felt like we were only there for an hour before we had to go on stage. It was fun anyway. Jumping around the stage in our gowns, madness! I sold 6 tickets, but if I’m honest, I thought that the 6 going would be so bored. I was kind of embarrassed too… but I had to sell some tickets or else I wasn’t going to be allowed perform, and I had to perform. I had spent the last few months proving myself to Ian our director, in the hope that he would allow me to do a solo. Then, in a rehearsal week end in Glendalough, I was the only person to audition for the song ‘The Only One’ by Antonio Neal and he loved it. He made me sing it over and over to the choir telling them what a lovely solo song they had missed! I was so happy, he had been giving the same people all the solos and I was getting pissed off. He wasn’t giving anyone else a chance!
Anyway I got the solo and on Saturday, I didn’t fuck up! So chuffed, I was a bit afraid that I would absolutely ruin it! And what’s worse, it opened the second half of the show so I was feeling a bit more pressure because of that. From what I heard, it sounded good, but I still cringe when I hear my voice on recording, so I don’t really know how it sounded.
I had the best bunch of people in the front row, all clapping, dancing and singing like madmen! It was hilarious to watch and they kept distracting me! But it was so worth it, it was just so much fun just watching them!
So that was the best weekend of 2010 for me so far! I hope yours was super too J
