rasmus concert


SUNDAY, MAY 19TH;
unfortunately & to her dismay, too-pregnant-eryn couldn't join me for this one. nevertheless..... THE RASMUS, LET'S GOOOO.
while lining up i did something unusual for me and approached "strangers from the internet". 😱 (hahhahahah) which i guess paid off cuz we sort of became best friends for the evening. actually, wait. i'm lying a bit. not ENTIRELY strangers since i'd seen sandra's name pop up during FB online discussions, and we did have a quick comment exchange once. however nothing outside of that.
we all had VIP tickets and i kept hoping the damn rain wouldn't frizz up my hair. eventually got inside the venue. lined up for the meet & greet...
as expected, it went by really freakin' quick. i chatted w/ eero while sandra + sister + friend were with the other band members. when he asked for my name, which—granted—is an uncommon name for any person not speaking french, i first spelled it out but then figured it'd be clearer to show him a piece of ID. showed him my credit card and he went; "great, now let's go shopping." bwahhahahaha. we eventually ended the conversation talking about.....alanis morissette. effin' random, right? like. um, what?? 😂 barely had time to say a word to the others afterwards, but hey. that's usually the deal with meet & greets. still managed to squeeze in a group hug!
we did NOT get a signed VIP pass as promised which i'm kinda bummed out about. i had to improvise and get one of those small promo papers that they had on the merch table to get signed.
sassily weird w/ band:
TBH i was scared of looking overly fat next to emppu however thank god for black clothing which, turns out, really IS slimming. hahahhaha.
early entry = hello easy 1st row. the stage was so low and we weren't even allowed to lean on it, thankfully i had sandra's (pregnancy) wheelchair to grab onto to help with my backaches!!
TERRIFIC SHOW energy in the air was crazy!!! setlist was A++ too! guess just disappointed about the gorilla (*cough* security guy) wouldn't let me have one of the setlists after the gig, but at least i'm thrilled sandra got to have it since she's the true longtime ultimate fan.
earlier in the evening we'd also encountered other fans who were super nice, so i even managed to get a ride back home with catherine + bf. i know, i know. getting in cars with strangers again. *headshake* a little weird but the vibe was right. hush hush (& cheers to a good time!)
