LA LA Land

Back from Hollywood, from a whirlwind 24 hour concert adventure.

Good times being had as usual. Probably my favorite part of the night was seeing Anders at the bar after The Fashion finished their set. Greeted by a warm smile and a big hug, he asked if I had found Christian yet. I said I hadn't and he took off his backstage pass, handed it to me and said, "Here, take this and go find him." Maybe the nicest thing ever. Of course, I promised to return it immediately, but once inside, found that Christian didn't really care if Anders ever saw his pass again, and so when Anders finally got back in and found me he was likely none too pleased. Haha...

Kinda sad that whole excursion is over...I always get so hyped for these things which go so fast and then am left with real life to deal with. Soooo...where to next?!

I'm so outta control; I gotta beeee more in control. ;)

The Travel Continues

Just made my reservations for a "one night stand" (aren't I clever) in Los Angeles for next month. I will literally be in the city about 29 hours, arriving somewhere in the vicinity of 10am Friday the 14th and peacing out the next day at 5. All of this in an effort to see The Fashion on the last night of their Fall '08 US tour with Uh Huh Her. I had initially planned on seeing the show anyway, but had certain doubts...would the guys even remember me? But, the conclusion I always come to was there for me saying, "Shannon, are you kidding? You're getting to travel to a new city and go to a concert. That's what you do. There's no way that can't be awesome. And when have you ever relied on other people's 'stuff' to have a good time anyway?"

Then, as if I needed further confirmation, on Friday I have a message in my MySpace inbox from Christian asking if I would be hitting up a show so he could put me on the list.

Done and done. Hollywood, here I come!
