don't feel bad, when i go to concerts, i usually have to go out of town. case in point: moody blues? playing in nashville. i'm seeing duran duran and liam finn in may. where? atlanta. stupid :down:

i go to concerts with my mom too but i don't mind, we have similar taste in music and it's kind of fun. it's like a bonding experience or whatever. plus, this way i know i won't get ripped off by someone who will be like "oh, about my half of the hotel room..." and then i'm stuck paying it all. NEVER AGAIN am i doing that :mad: :mad: :mad:

if you stay in maryland for college (not that i know where you're planning on going to school, lol), it wouldn't be so bad. my mom lived in baltimore and has told me of all the cool acts she's seen when she lived there.

dc gets a lot of good shows too, and is easily commutable from the metro!

:yes: my mom went to dc sometimes for shows too. i don't know if public transportation wasn't good back then but she told me she didn't like going out there because it was too far of a drive! :lol:

and yet this year we're driving to atlanta for concerts (something we also did in 05) and we've also driven to chicago. dc too far? riiiiiight :lmao:

Yeah, seeing concerts here (well, not HERE, I don't know where here is, but somewhere in our general vicinity) is awesome because we live within driving distance of Philly, Baltimore, DC, and Pittsburgh. Lots of great acts play in...this general vicinity.

And I like the bonding angle. :) It's usually a lot of fun, and it's made my mom big fans of a few artists, most recently Wilco.
 
I saw only two concerts last year. Lame. Especially as I missed three others that I really wanted to see.

Just booked accommodation in Sydney for Porcupine Tree. :drool:

3 PT gigs in 3 days. 9 days away. ROCK THE FUCK ON.

awww, pittsburgh, my old hometown

i didn't live there long enough to see any concerts there, though, lol. but you're right. that is the one great thing about living further up north.

yeah, same here. i've gotten my mom into lots of bands i liked that she only casually liked before or something. and we've both discovered other bands who've opened up for the people we've gone to see.

her: your hair looks good today katie, did you lighten it? it looks all shiny
me: i washed it...

:lol: i guess you had to be there :giggle:

:mad: i don't like you.

i keep track of all the shows i go to, though. or rather, since getting a last.fm account, it keeps track for me!

:kiss:
well, don't get tooo upset. my friends and i are totally obsessed with this one band we've been following since college. they're local, so they have a lot of gigs in va, dc, and md. we go to as many as possible.
 
KhanadaRhodes said:

No, they've never been to Australia before.

And I'm rather concerned this will be the only time they come to Australia, so I'm hitting all three gigs. Not as if I needed the excuse though, since they're my favourite band and all.

It's easy to keep track of all the shows I've been to, because it's easy to count to 5. :kiss:

:lol:
well if you're ever interested, i'm happy to share. they're called Carbon Leaf, and really some of the nicest guys on the planet. the bassist himself gave me his tabs so i can practice. they have a few singles on the radio. :lol: you can hear them when you go shopping at Kohl's. Life Less Ordinary is like the story of my life.
