Blogs, The Killers and some pictures.

I don’t want this to turn into a blog about blogging, but how often is too often to Blog? Sometimes I have several things a day to post, but if I don’t post them before the end of my working day, I’ll forget about them. Is once a day too often? I know I get bored too easily when a blog doesn’t have a new post, but I appreciate it more when one DOES go up. If I posted one up a day, would people get bored with my constant dronings or would they come back? Does anyone even read this? I only know of one person for sure who read my first one!

I guess I’ll figure that out as I come to it. Maybe once a day isn’t enough? Who knows…

Anyway, we went to see The Killers last night in Marlay Park (yes, that’s the correct spelling, despite those who wish to spell it as MarlEy Park). We got there reasonably early, around 6:30pm, just as Louis XIV (14 ;)) were finishing up and camped in a pretty good spot for Bloc Party. I gotta admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bloc Party until last night. They were pretty cool. I might even buy an album!

But The Killers. Wow. From the first note to the last beat they were awesome! Every word was perfect, they got the crowd going… amazing! They’ve really come on in leaps and bounds since we first saw them in 2005, at Oxegen. Back then, Brandon Flowers was a nervous looking front man, sitting behind the keyboard for nearly the whole gig and barely saying a word. Last night it was like a completely different band! He ran around, jumped up and down, chatted to the crowd. He really got everyone going and I think that’s an important thing in such a popular band. If I go see a gig and the front man doesn’t look like he’s enjoying himself, I probably won’t enjoy myself as much.

One of the best things about The Killers tho, is how much drummer Ronnie Vanucchi looks like Jason Lee from My Name is Earl! It’s uncanny!

The thing we were most concerned about was getting home. Claire’s due to go out tonight (Friday) and she still had to get her shit together, so we were eager to get home early (and our position in the crowd didn’t help matters, about 10 feet from the barrier, maybe 4 at our nearest point of the night!). Last week at Muse (another excellent gig, by the way!) we were an hour sitting in the queue (not moving an inch) before we turned around and drove back the way we’d come, doubling back at the top, essentially skipping everyone who had waited! I hated doing it, but no-one was going anywhere! Last night, we were right at the top of the queue when we pulled out and within about 40 minutes we were home and all! Bargain! One woman that annoyed me was, when we were all sitting in a big mesh and people were merging, she leaned out the window and yelled at me “You won’t get very far, will ya?” (I had inched forwards so she couldn’t merge past me, even tho I had let two people from her lane come through already! I can’t let everyone out love!)

Finally, as a request from a dedicated reader, here are some pictures of me. I’m not 100% sure how to add them in line with the text quite yet, so they’re going on the bottom. In the first one, see if you can spot me. That’s my whole family (my mam’s side) at a weekend away a few weeks ago. In the second one, no prize for guessing which one I am. That’s my graduation day last year (very proud day, I must admit). And in the third one, that’s me on one of those super cool OCC bikes from the TV show. Well worth a tenner!!!

Well, that’s it for another post. Feel free to comment. Who knows when I’ll get back to you about it tho ;)
