Tall people down in front. The Our Lady Peace show.

I usually don't go this long without blogging but things have been busy in the life of Ginny. I haven't been home much and when I am home I'm sucked into the Olympics and forget about the internet unless it's to stream something Olympic related.

It's not all Olympic watching though. Sunday I went to see Our Lady Peace at the Paradise in Boston. I dragged Derek along but I think he enjoyed and of course Germana came, since we have been fans since 7th grade.

 
The show was awesome. OLP are great live, which a blog reader had mentioned in a previous post. You did not let me down blog reader. I agree with you! They played most of their more popular songs which made me and the crowd very happy. No Automatic Flowers but their acoustic version of Thief was really beautiful. Apparently it was written about a girl they knew who died of a brain tumor.

" I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head, but I can be some courage at the side of your bed."

The venue is small so we were pretty close but our view was still a little obstructed. That's because all the tall people decide to get as close to the stage as possible. You're 6' tall, there is no need to stand in front of everyone so you can block their view. It wasn't even just one guy, it was multiple tall guys. If I was a tall person I would stand near the back so other people could see. You can see over heads. I  can't see through them. And, the venue is small, so it's not like you're going to be far away from the stage anyways.

*I guess I should clarify that I'm referring to tall people who shove their way ahead of people. If someone is there before me I won't stand behind them if they're tall. If you're not there on time stand behind me.*

Ok- short girl rant over. Go listen to Thief and try not to cry.

I'm finally going to see Our Lady Peace

I don't know about you but I get really excited about seeing bands I love in concert. There's something about being there in person screaming the lyrics to your favorite songs alongside other people who get it.

One of my favorite albums is Clumsy by Our Lady Peace. It was pretty much the sound track to 7th grade. I still have that album on my ipod. I could have seen them once back in 1997 but you see my friend Melissa took my friend Brandy and Germana and I were pissed. We wanted to see Our Lady Peace too and we had to listen to Melissa and Brandy talk about how great they were in concert. Don't worry, we still talk today so I think we got over it. Now, 15 years later (gahhhh! that's a long time) we're finally going to see them in concert.

Too bad Germana and I got rid of our Jnco jeans.

Bring on the 90s rock! And they better play my favorite song.
